Coach’s comments: “I foresee a ton of improvement. We have a lot of varsity returnees back. I’ve seen a complete change, a different environment. We’ve added some talented freshmen who are pushing some of the upperclassmen. We have only 20 players, but our kids can play multiple positions. Pitching should be improved. We do have some power hitters, but our best hitters are line drive-RBI hitters. We do have a lot of speed for a short-game. Some girls can put the ball out of the park, but our focus is to score runs. I would rather have a lot of RBIs instead of home runs. Work ethic and team attitude will continue from
