Lyons High School may be small, but the level of talent it possesses on the softball field has the Lions swinging like a heavyweight. The departure of last year’s ace, Ceci Chiaravalle, would have crippled a normal program in the year that followed. Chiaravalle led the entire state with 255 strikeouts through 23 games, and served as the catalyst toward the Lions winning regionals and earning a bid to the 3A state tournament. Her sophomore successor, Gretta Wynja, already has 126 strikeouts through 14 appearances, ranking her 13th in the nation and No.
