Manistee High School Softball: My Site News
Districts
Chippewa softball team will get an early look at what they’ll face on June 2.
Manistee, which has won a season-high seven straight games, will host Shelby for a doubleheader on Friday that will serve as the Chippewas’ regular-season finale, barring their ability to find another opponent for next week.
“There’s a lot riding on this little preview game,” said Manistee softball coach Denise Lijewski. “We’re just going to have to stay on our toes.”
Both Division 3 district draws were completed recently for the tournaments at Shelby.
Manistee (23-8), the reigning four-time district champion, has bounced Shelby three straight years, including a 14-3 mercy-rule win in last year’s semifinals. But, that doesn’t mean it will be as easy this year and playing the Tigers a week before the postseason isn’t an ideal setup.
“Not that we’d want to see someone in our district that close to districts,” Lijewski said, “but that’s the hand we’re dealt and we’ll just have to figure out a way to show them some new stuff when we see them (in the district tournament).”

Parent/Senior Night!!!!
Athletic Physical Night is TONIGHT here at the High School. It is 5:30-7:30 and is $25 per athlete, $60 per family. If you plan on playing a sport next year, this is a great opportunity to get your physical done at a low rate.
Dear Softball Players & Families:
I meant to send this email sooner, but unfortunately I did not get the chance with recent events.
Parent and Senior Night will be this Friday at our home double-header versus Shelby.
Districts are in Shelby. The results of the draw have us facing Shelby at 10am on June 2nd. The winner of the MCC/Hart game will play Montague at 12pm, and the Championship game will begin at 2pm.
Players: Please send me a list of all of your athletic/academic honors and anything you do outside of school/softball that is worthy of note. This will help when we attend the District coaches meeting.
If you have any questions regarding any of this, just let me know.
Thanks! Go Chips!

| Coach Bob and Jamee Fugere |
On Friday 5/18/2012 in between the ball games we had a presentation that was presented to Coach Bob (he has coached MHS softball for 25 plus years retiring 3 years ago.) Jamee Fugere who is in the top 5 of her 2013 class, presented Coach Bob with a plaque reconizing him has someone who made a difference in her life as a mentor. The day that the plaques were present at a dinner at the Elks, Coach Bob could not attend as he was in Spectrum Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, as he is playing the softball game of his life, and trying to win the game agains Cancer. So Far Cancers seems to be winning... but he is trying to have a big rally in the 12th, as he was first diagnosed with Cancer a year ago. So Jamee thought it only right that if he could not go to the dinner, the next choice was to present Coach with the award would be the softball field, she had to wait until he was out of the hospital and feeling good enough to go to a game and friday was the day. It was a beutiful day and on top of everything else... Manistee Girls won both games....... Way to go Girls...
