DENTON, Texas (11/10/08) - The North Texas softball team demonstrated that they can transfer their softball skills over to basketball pretty easily as they participated in a community service project last week with Upward Basketball.
On Monday, Nov. 3, and Tuesday, Nov. 4, members of the Mean Green softball program volunteered as assistants for Upward Basketball evaluations held at the First Baptist Church of Denton. With large groups of boys and girls ranging in ages from first through sixth grade, the softball team assisted the kids in completing various basketball skills, The basketball players were later divided into equally-skilled teams.
Former softball student-athlete Susan Waters helps out with Upward Basketball, which has been a part of the community's recreation and youth leagues.
The North Texas softball team opens its season on February 13, 2009 when it plays Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on the road at 4 pm.
