MATTOON -- Lake Land softball coach Nic Nelson said the 2010 recruiting class could potentially be his best recruiting class. Nelson, a 1971 Mattoon graduate, has four players form the Lake Land district out of 10 recruits.
“This class could be better than the ones that played for me at Heartland when we won the national championship,” said Nelson of a class that includes Neoga’s Olivia Mintun, Mattoon’s Baileigh Basham and Michelle Glenn along with Newton’s Kimberlin Wallace. . ." More Here
Mattoon Pride Girls Fastpitch is located in Mattoon, Illinois.
Our purpose and mission is to give the girls instructional guidance and experience in playing fastpitch softball at the highest level of competition possible. In order to do this, The Pride sends its teams to tournaments in, and out of, the state of Illinois.
This is where the competition is, and this is where we must go to develop girls who want to play in high school or prepare for college.
The emphasis is always on sportsmanship, character, and fun, over winning.
We are a private, IRS-certified, non-profit organization that receives no financial aid or support from local or federal governments.
We gladly accept tax-deductible donations.
Mattoon has a rich history in girl's fastpitch softball and is repeatedly commended for sportsmanship and conduct on and off the field and being able to compete with the best. This is not achieved easily and the coaches and players are commended for this. The coaches and girls are very proud of their reputation and high standards.
