Softball Team Helps Out a Newman Family

By Stephanie Thomson

On Sunday, May 14th the Newman Catholic softball team helped out the Brill family.  At Cabin Fever, the Brill family won a three hour period of yard work to be completed by the Newman softball team.  The softball team granted them their prize on Sunday.

The softball team arrived at the Brill house at one in the afternoon.  They did various yard work activities that Mr. and Mrs. Brill wanted completed.  This included raking, picking up sticks, cleaning various yard items, hauling brush, and cleaning up a great amount of tornado damage in the woods.  The team worked until about four in the afternoon.  Senior Hannah Baumann was asked how she felt about helping out the Brill family.  “It felt good to help out a Newman family with their yard work.  It was a way for our team to come together and help out.”

After the work was completed, the Brill family decided to have a cookout for the team due to all of their hard work.  After the team worked for a couple hours, Mr. Brill fired up the grill.  They had burgers and various side dishes for the team.  They also had s’mores for dessert.  The night ended by having fun with family and friends in the Brill’s newly clean backyard.
