At a glance, Leslie Sewell’s journey from softball player to Athletic Director at Seminole State College might seem like a series of coincidences, a simple trajectory of luck—both good and bad.
The Seminole State Trojans earned a spot in the NJCAA Men’s Division 2 Golf Championship and collected an NJCAA Men’s D2 South Central District Championship title with a sudden-death playoff win on April 29 at Shawnee Country Club.
Seminole State College Trojan baseball players worked with members of “A League of Their Own” at the Avedis Foundation Adaptive Field, located within the Brian Crawford Memorial Sports Complex on April 3. The “League” is a co-ed softball league established to provide an avenue for individuals with cognitive or physical disabilities to play baseball. Trojan players volunteered for the group’s season opener Monday night. They encouraged and assisted nearly 40 participants as they hit and ran the bases. The “League” plays on Monday evenings and will continue their season through May 22. For more information about the group, contact Holli Daniels at 405-380-7027.
