September 17-18, 2021

The Monarchs are hosting a 12 team, 3 bracket invitational tournament again this season.  Two brackets will be played at the Papillion Landing complex.  

Youth Night - Meet the Monarchs

Elementary and Junior High students in the district have been invited to attend the game and meet the players.  

The Monarchs host Millard West @ 10:00 AM on September 25th.  This day will combine a fund raiser with our annual alumni game.  

We will be raising funds through t-shirt sales for Dana Geising and her fight against brain cancer.  Dana was in attendance at many games over the years and is the aunt of Monarch alumnus Anna Fitzgerald. 

We will also be taking donations for our "pay it forward" scholarship.  This scholarship will happen annually and award to a few senior recipients each year that have applied for and have been selected by an alumni panel.  This will help the winners with college expenses.  The scholarship will begin with a free will donation made by Cori and David Bernhagen.  Cori is the mother of Monarch alumnus Mia Jarecki. 

The date for the 2021 Senior night is Monday, September 27th.  

This is an annual event where we say good-bye and thank you to our 10 senior girls who have been an integral part of the Monarch softball program and will graduate in the Spring of 2022.  

The coordinator for the 2021 season is Mariana Hurst.  

Additional information will be posted as is available.
