BYFIELD \u2014 Ava Johnson and Audrina Owens have been through the wars.<\/p>\n
As the lone two seniors on this year\u2019s Triton softball roster and both four-year varsity veterans, they know what it takes to win in the playoffs. They won three postseason games as freshmen to make it to the Division 3 Final Four, two more as sophomores to make it to the quarterfinals, and another last year before bowing out to the eventual state runner-up.<\/p>\n
