No matter what the season brings, Mount Si’s girls’ fastpitch softball team is already a standout, for two reasons at least.

“There’s the Lis sisters,” says co-captain and only senior on the team, Paige Weatherbee. Claire Lis, the starting pitcher and her sister, Grace, a catcher, are the first of two sister combinations on the team. The second includes another Weatherbee, Lexie, who is a freshman.

In all of coach Larry White’s experience, 15 years or so, he’s coached only one other set of siblings in fastpitch, so this is a very unusual year, he says.

It’s also, in the girls’ first showing at the 4A level, going to be a year of challenges.

“We’re going to compete every day, and give ourselves a chance to win every day,” White said.

Weatherbee, who’s been playing softball since fifth grade, is excited to have her sister on the team.

“Good job, Lexie!” she calls, as her sister runs past first in practice.

The Weatherbee family as a whole is enjoying having two daughters on  the same team, too.

“They like it,” says Weatherbee, “it’s one game!”
