Maggie Hungerford lives by five simple words — school, practice, homework, sleep, repeat.
Whether she’s hitting softballs, making baskets, spiking volleyballs or taking tests, the Washougal High School junior gives her all for the orange and black.
“I’m honored to play three different sports,” Hungerford said. “It’s really fun. I’ve gained so many friends. I’m always going. It keeps me busy.”
On April 26, Hungerford had a memorable day on the diamond. She doubled, tripled and drove in four runs to help the Washougal softball team defeat Mark Morris 14-5, in Longview.
“It was just a really good day. I felt it even in the warm ups,” she said. “We were all connecting, seeing the ball well, executing our plays; it was just a good day.”
Pitcher Kayla Lagerquist struck out 11 Monarchs in seven innings. She also had two hits and an RBI at the plate. The Panthers combined for 18 hits in the game. Madison Gehrke delivered three hits and an RBI, Ryenn Soule knocked in two runs on two singles, and Baliee Forsberg, Hailey Foeber and Keana Macrae-Smith each had two hits and an RBI.
