Possibly the tallest pitcher to ever grace a softball mound threw the first pitch before Monday’s game between Minden High School and Lakeside.

Webster Parish Superintendent of Public Schools Johnny Rowland proved he hasn’t lost his arm since he last coached.

See Wednesday’s Webster Parish Journal for the game recap, and remember, softball fans who have not seen the new Minden High School Tide Girls Softball Complex on Clerk Street (behind the former Lowe Junior High School location), several opportunities to visit the new facilities this spring remain. The following is the remaining schedule. All junior varsity games begin at 4 p.m., followed by varsity games at 5 p.m.
