IN showing their appreciation for the support they received for the sixth Bahamas Games, ‘Softball 242’ chief Thomas Sears made a presentation of softball equipment to the athletic department at the Charles W Saunders High School last week.
Thomas, whose Softball Bahamas is preparing to host their first Softball 242 One Caribbean Invitational Women’s Fast-Pitch Tournament this week, said as the manager of the Exuma women’s softball team for the Bahamas Games, they were appreciative of Charles W Saunders allowing them to use their facilities for practice.
“I committed to helping them with their field by donating some equipment,” Sears said.
“They will be able to assist them in their softball programme. Foster Dorsett is their athletic director and physical education teacher, so I know he could make good use of the in-kind gesture.”
Charles W Saunders received the four bases for softball, as well as two cases of softballs, which Dorsett said will definitely benefit the Cougars’ sporting programme, particularly as they prepare for participation in the Bahamas Association of Independent Secondary Schools’ softball season.
“It’s well-needed, so I appreciate what Thomas Sears was able to give us,” Dorsett said. “It’s a programme that is growing and we needed some bases and he even provided us with about two cases of softballs, which is something that we won’t have to buy.
“It shows that there are people out there who have an interest in helping in the development of our young kids. I think the students really appreciate what we got. He pledged more support in the future for the programme, so we really appreciate what he has done for us.”
Dorsett said if there are any other individuals or companies out there who are willing to assist, they can contact him or the school to provide their support of their athletic programme, which include basketball, where they are the defending BAISS senior boys champions; volleyball, soccer and track and field.
Joining Dorsett in receiving the gift from Thomas were Charles W Saunders’ principal Anadel Thompson and Senior Mater Rev. Stephen Duncombe.
