Odicci Alexander, the 2021 NCAA Pitcher of the Year for Softball, was the guest of honor at a Nov. 10 benefit at the Venetian Center in Leesburg. The fundraiser was hosted by Eustis High School Panther Softball, and these female players made history in 2021 as FHSAA 4A State Champions! The Night Under the Lights event featured a meet-and-greet with Oddici, and a silent auction with proceeds that benefitted the goal of getting a new field built in Eustis.
