New Westwood HS softball team

Last week, we had stories for you about two new softball teams starting high school competition this spring, Kingsford and Ishpeming.

But girls from Westwood are also taking the diamond for the first time this spring.

The Patriots’ new team, coached by Libby Nelson and Mickey Salmi, is self-funded.

It’s seeking pledges from anyone who might like to support it financially.

Monetary donations can be made in any amount, in either a lump sum or installments.
