Two Raymond High School softball players, Maddy Stringer and Josie Bowles, signed a collegiate scholarship to play for Coahoma Community College.

Bowles, senior catcher and daughter of Tammi Bowles and Todd Mulvihill, made her decision official last week and she was joined by family, friends and coach in celebration of her becoming a collegiate athlete.

“It was a really great offer and I love the coaches out there plus I want to be in a smaller school environment,” Bowles said.

Out of all the memories made on the softball field, Stringer was most precious one was wearing pink socks at for her coach’s gender reveal that represented a baby girl.

Although her time as a Ranger will be ending soon, Bowles hasn’t forgotten those who made it possible for her to fulfill her dreams.

“I want to thank my parents, coaches, teammates and my best friend and Co-Captain Maddy Stringer.”

Choosing CCC was a no-brainer as well for Stringer. She will be joining her teammate after starring on the field for many years.

“The coach is really amazing and I want to be at a smaller school as well so Coahoma is definitely the place for me,” Stringer said.

Pitching in her first game as a sophomore was one of Stringer’s favorite memories. She will soon be entertaining a much bigger crowd.

Like Bowles, Maddy, pitcher and daughter of Gary and April Stringer, also thanked those who stood by her during her athletic career.

“I would like to thank my mom ,my softball coaches, my pitching coach, Coach Waterbury and I would also like to thank my best friend Josie.”

Both athletes have been starting since they were in seventh grade and are now playing under head coach Shawn Terwilliger and assistant coach Toni Odom.
