Our 14u softball team is looking for 5 more girls to round out our roster!

The beam will be headed by Coach Sam Silver! Sam had a spectacular career as a player for the Bushnell Beacons on and off the field. As a pitcher, she finished her career ranked in the top-ten all-time in nine different categories and ranks fifth all-time for wins in program history.

In 2023, Silver was named the winner of the NAIA’s Dr. Leroy Walker Champion of Character Award, one of the organization’s highest annual honors. She was Bushnell’s first recipient of any NAIA major award.

Silver has been coaching and giving private lessons for many years and most recently served as an assistant coach at Springfield High School. She has also been a head coach for the Diamonds Fastpitch 16u and 14u teams, as well as our 14u this fall!

Much of Coach Silver’s legacy lies in the impact she has had in the development of student-athlete mental health initiatives. This included the creation of Bushnell’s student-athlete wellness program, providing a designated counselor to each athletic team, removing barriers to care and acting as a liason between athletics and the counseling department.

During her collegiate career she was also named the winner of the Gardepiey-Peloquin Outstanding Speaker Award, and graduated with a 3.94 GPA in Communications. She went on to earn her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is pursuing her Associate License for counseling. She continues to serve as the Student-Athlete Mental Health Coordinator for Beacon Athletics.

We are so excited for this upcoming season and would love to find 5 more girls to join Coach Silver this season! If interested, call, text or email us!

We wanted to take a moment and thank one of our amazing sponsors who did so much for us these past few seasons.

Their kindness and generosity has not gone unnoticed, and we are so grateful for their devotion to our program and our community! 86 Radon
