Don?t let age define your competition: Just ask Zoie Hesse. 

This summer, Zoie competed for Nelson Quarries in the Iola Recreation Department Jr. Ponytail softball league. Despite being 10 years old, Hesse thrived in a league designated for 11-13 year olds. 

Along with playing rec ball, Hesse also participated for the 10U Buck Commanders travel softball team based out of Fort Scott.
