Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

DOWAGIAC — With the cancellation of the entire spring sports season, Dowagiac girls soccer coach Chad Davis, his players and their parents decided to host a Senior Night recently.

The five seniors on the Chieftain squad will be featured one at a time each Wednesday.

Davis provided sashes, cupcakes and a flower for the moms, while still practicing social distancing. Photos of each player were submitted to the Dowagiac Daily News for publication.

“My five seniors are my heroes,” Davis said. “Not only are these women strong-minded, intelligent and brave, they’re also what we look for in a mentor student-athlete. Sometimes a hero is asked to sacrifice things for the greater good of people’s health; that’s exactly what these girls have done. So, thank you, seniors.”
