The luncheon consisted of prime rib, specially prepared by Andy Grewe from the Good Times Lounge in Moorefield and baked chicken, Raymond See Guarl Stewart Courtney Tusing scalloped potatoes, green beans and a wonderful salad which were expert- ly prepared by Linda Judy, with the help of Patty Kimble. There was also a delicious selection of desserts brought by many of the people who helped put together the event.

Barbara Thomas, who was the over- seer of all the food for the event, did a spectacular job.

East Hardy Finally Overcomes South Harrison Hurdle To Earn State Berth

Story & Photos By Carl Holcomb Moorefield Examiner

For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. —Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 Inspiration has helped East Hardy Softball earn its first trip to the state tournament in school history after defeating the Class A defending state cham- pions South Harrison, 10-3 in the Region II championship last Thursday in Baker. Jason Foltz, the father of Rayann and Jade Foltz passed away this past win- ter and his love for softball is being carried out by all of those who remember him. State Tournament First Round “Daddy was definitely here with us tonight. East Hardy vs Buffalo He is smiling down at us right now,” Rayann Foltz May 25 • 11:30 a.m. stated as she pointed to the sky after the victory. Vienna, WV A memorial patch in Jason’s honor is worn on the sleeve of each Lady Cougars Softball member. East Hardy lost by one run the two previous seasons to the Lady Hawks and finally prevailed. “They always say the third time is the charm, it was the case this time for us. There is always a reason for win- ning and a reason for losing. We had a reason for winning. He’s [Jason Foltz] been watching over us all year blessing us with good hits all year. Hopefully it will carry on to states,” East Hardy senior Lindsey Basye commented. East Hardy senior shortstop Ashley Dove got the hitting started with a leadoff double in the first inning against Lady Hawks pitcher Tasha Hall and ad- vanced to third base on a groundout.
