Valliant’s Lyric Prince – Softball Spotlight – Presented by Pine Cellular 

Softball isn’t just a sport for Lyric Prince—it’s a way of life. “I started playing since t-ball, and I’ve loved it ever since,” she shares. Now a senior at Valliant High School, Lyric anchors her team from centerfield, both as a player and as a guiding force for her teammates.

Her father has been one of the greatest influences on her journey. “My dad has always been a role model for me in sports. He’s been a coach to me and many others before,” Lyric says. “He’s an amazing family man that would never yell or get angry over a mistake. That’s the type of leadership I try to bring to my team.”

Team chemistry is another key component of Valliant’s success, and Lyric believes it’s been built over years of playing together. “I’ve played with almost all of my team since I was little, so the chemistry is always high every season,” she explains. “The energy is always high and motivational, especially the past fast-pitch season.”

As a leader on and off the field, Lyric focuses on lifting up her teammates. “I play centerfield for my team, and I’m also the oldest,” she notes. “I have to prepare physically but also emotionally to help guide my team.”

Her goals are always set high, with the state tournament in sight. “At Valliant, our goal is always the state tournament,” she shares. “My hopes are for all of us to experience going to state this season.”

Lyric also emphasizes the importance of community support, which fuels the team’s motivation and success. “Cheering in the dugout is a vital thing, but when the community is cheering for you too, it’s an amazing feeling that can impact everyone’s performance.”

As she nears graduation, Lyric is ready to embrace her future but cherishes every moment she has left on the field. She is ready to embrace her creative side as an artist. “Sadly, after school, I am looking to move on and focus on myself and my future,” she explains. “I plan to become a tattoo artist, which doesn’t require college. That’s why I want to cherish every moment I have in high school playing softball.”

With her passion, leadership, and love for the game, Lyric Prince leaves a lasting impact on Valliant softball.
