This year’s girls softball teams are very young teams. ‘‘Varsity youth will make a lot of bumps in the road for them this season with a start of 2-8’’ said Coach Kari Amen. They have plenty of games left to build up their record.All three varsity, jv, and reserve have had really hard practices to push these girls to do their best. Amen said,”They need to work on consistency on pitching and minimize errors on the defensive end.” Hadley williams said, Their weaknesses are non-communication on and off the field and they need to work on staying in the game and not giving up after making errors.” They are a young team that needs to just learn the fundamentals to the most at their position. On the offensive side is consistent hitting. They get people on base it’s just about getting those players into home. This team is more advanced than their team last year. They don’t really have a key player they just have lots of good players. Amen states,”Maddie Mccoy has lots of leadership on the mound”. Offensive leaders are Maddie McCoy, Mercades Smith, and Lex Williams. Everyone helps out on defense no specific key player on defense. This years team is more skilled than their last years team.
Varsity player Hadley Williams says,” varsity team’s strengths are picking each other up when down and upperclassman helping underclassmen to everything.” They need to work on staying in game and and not giving up after making errors. Their record doesn’t show how hard they really work and the plays they make. They don’t really have a big rival or anything it’s just they go into every game thinking every win matters no matter who they play.
The JV team are older than the varsity team. Their strengths are mostly fielding than anything because they have good communication and when an error is made they pick each other up and brush it off and move on. Their weaknesses are being a team they don’t really know each other so it’s kind of hard to be a team without knowing anything about your teammates. Jv started their season 0-10. Jv needs to just finish the game they win in the first half of the game then can’t finish. They will be able to win if they play the same the whole game. Olivia Flores states,” They need to improve on their hitting.” Jv’s best player is Olivia Flores she has great leadership skills and all the younger players look up to her. She is the best fielder on the field and her only goal when she steps on the fields is do her best and win. Flores says.”Their isn’t an outstanding hitter they just all contribute mostly to get around and score. JV’s biggest competition is East or Southwest They always have good players and are both great schools.”
