Battle Creek's Best: Lakeview's Ratliff leads Enquirer All-City Softball Team
With back-to-back winning seasons and a second straight All-City title, Lakeview sofball has enjoyed its share of honors in the past two years.
And for leading that team to that success, Lakeview's Brian Ratliff is the repeat winner of the 2022 Battle Creek Enquirer All-City Softball Team Coach of the Year as he helped the Spartans to their second straight 18-win season and a second All-City crown after not winning the annual trophy for more than two decades.
