It's no surprise to those of us close to the Lady Raiders Softball Team that Cara Goodwin wooed the crowd in yesterday's AHSAA All-Star Softball Game in Montgomery.

Cara is no stranger to Lagoon Park as she just pitched there a few weeks ago in the AHSAA State Softball Championship Tournament.

This time it would be for the North team in the first game that ended in a 0-0 tie.

Goodwin allowed just 1 hit and struck out 5 enroute to three shut-out innings!  A truly stellar performance against the South All-Stars.
