Spartan Softball Brings Honor to TJ
October 26, 2007 by Philip Karlberg ·
Four of TJ’s best softball players represent the Spartans on the All-League team.
Several Thomas Jefferson girls’ softball players have made the DPS All League Team including, Amanda Weaver, Aryn Grywusiewicz, Ashley Lowery, Lauren Kelsch, and with Morgan Bertam, Colette Hernandez and Sarah Southard making honorable mention.
Amanda Weaver and Aryn Grywusiewicz were the two TJ players to make first team all city. On the second team are Ashley Lowery and Lauren Kelsch. Morgan Bertam, Colette Hernandez and Sarah Southard nearly made it, and are members of this year’s honorable mention. The players were voted onto the team by coaches from other teams on how difficult as opponents they were.
Although the team is called the DPS all league team, they don’t actually compete against other league teams. Both the first and second teams consist of ten players. "We have more players on the teams than any other school," commented TJ Coach Kyler Jackson. “[The other coaches] recognized everyone who had a good year,” said Jackson, who was pleased with how many Spartan girls made the team. “They worked hard and played during the summer, so they deserve it.”
Jackson believes the Thomas Jefferson Softball team has represented TJ well this year. With all the players on the all league team, the team believes the softball program has proven to have a very talented group of girls and coaches that will continue to bring success to TJ in the future.
Weaving Her Way to the Top

Senior softball star Amanda Weaver shines on the diamond.
The TJ softball team lost a few key seniors last season, but if there is one thing Coach Jackson is happy about, it is that Amanda Weaver is back for her fourth and final year of Spartan softball. It has been a long and rigorous road filled with many ups and downs, but Weaver has been through it all on the diamond, literally.
She started her career playing second base as a freshman, but since then she’s bounced around from shortstop to catcher, and now she starts at first base. “Playing all these positions has given me more respect for the game of softball,” Weaver said. Clearly, this Lady Spartan has an abundance of unique talent that she brings to the field. Since the age of 7, she has played the game of softball with a passion. “I just started because it was something to do,” Weaver said. “I liked it and it was fun, so I kept playing and practicing, and I love it now.” Weaver believes she was destined to be a softball player, as her mom also played in her younger years.
