This afternoon, varsity softball takes on Pocono Mountain East Cardinals on the road.
Pocono Mountain East is one of Stroudsburg’s district rivals. The Mountaineers won against PME earlier this season, 17-9, and looks to take another win from them.
The Mountaineers lost their last game against Freedom High School, where the mercy rule was put into effect in the sixth inning, and lost 13-3. They hope to turn things around with this game and get back on the winning track.

Stroudsburg’s pitcher Jordan Cook,’27, says, “It should be a great game and we should win”. She also thinks this would be a great boost for the team after their loss to Freedom.
Thomas shares that she is confident in her team to win this game with no problem.
They are currently 9-4 for the regular school season. Their next home game is against East Stroudsburg South on 4/25.
