To the editor:
I would like to congratulate coach Gus DiMarzio and the 2023 Steubenville Big Red girls softball team on the program's first regional championship and trip to the final four. Although Steubenville High School's girls track teams have enjoyed past successes at the state level, Big Red's other girls sports teams had not won a regional title until this year.
Championship teams are led by great players such as Jules King. Every girl athlete in the Steubenville City School system should take note of her accomplishments and work to attain her level of greatness.
There are no more excuses for Big Red girls sports not to be able to perform at a high level every year. The administration has provided the facilities, coaches and resources needed to be competitive.
So, girls, take a cue from Jules King and start dreaming about the type of legacy you would like to leave at Big Red. The Big Red nation is ready to support your efforts.
