J-M softball team honored
State Rep. Pam Snyder, D-Jefferson passes out flowers to Jefferson-Morgan’s softball team during a special presentation to the players who won the WPIAL softball championship earlier this year. The Thursday night ceremony at the elementary school praised the players for their accomplishment and also mourned the passing of assistant coach Chris Dugan, who died May 15 at age 45. Snyder presented the team with a citation of achievement from the state House of Representatives and a condolence resolution to Dugan’s family, including his wife, Sherry Lynn, mother, Sherry Jean, and daughters, Caitlyn and Camryn, who is the Rockets’ second baseman. “It was a storybook, yet bittersweet season for a wonderful team and their coaches,” Snyder said.
