The junior’s second delivery grazed the catcher’s mitt and sailed to the backstop. “The first two pitches,” Bauman said, “were a little scary.” The Yorktown pitcher needed time to settle into her start against the National District’s top softball team, but once she did, Bauman held the Hawks to just one hit dur- ing a five-inning stretch. Unfortunately for Bauman and the Patriots, Hayfield’s two runs on three hits in the first inning were all the Hawks needed.

teams. His mother Tracy went to Yorktown and he met his wife there. Amy Williams is expecting their first child and they will be very happy to have him or her at- tend Yorktown as well. “I loved my time here at Yorktown,” Amy Williams said. “I had a good circle of friends, school spirit was high and we would go to football and basketball games together. Oftentimes we would go to the Pizza Hut at Lee Center or the TCBY and just hang out after the games. I remember my parents always wondered why we would hang out in a parking lot for hours, but we just wanted to have fun and talk.”

“I STILL GET together with my high school girlfriends,” said alumni Jeanette Molnar (Class of 1989). “There is a group of 12 of us and we still get together every other month to keep up with each other. My parents lived across the street so I could walk to school, but the thing to do was to have your boyfriend pick you up and drive you. I remember it took longer to walk in from the park- ing lot than to just cross the street to school. Now my kids go here and my parents still live across the street so my son will drive and park in their driveway. I know they will have as good a time here as I did.” The face of the school may con- tinue to change as construction is still underway but the sense of community remains the same.
