GREENWOOD CHRISTIAN (1A, 10-7) – Numbers are up … 19 players give Cougars enough for 5 JV games … 1st-time varsity coach Tami Haynes takes reins … hit .411 last year & stole 142 bases (8.3 per game), but hit only 4 home runs … graduated both catchers … many positions not locked in … returns with 2 seniors, speedy outfielder Avery Shingleton (.500) & pitcher Marissa Jent (.400) … junior 1st-baseman Morgan Haynes (.698, 37 hits, 28 RBI, 22 stolen bases) leads talented class … junior 3rdbaseman Alexis Mead (.457) with classmates, middle infielder Abigail Warner (.460, 30 runs) & outfielders Daniel Whitney, Grace McDaniel, Grace McDaniel & Lily Rastenburg … sophs Izzy Reed (.500) & Katelyn Potter are first-time catchers … soph Holly Overton another outfielder … frosh Haley Haynes adds to mound corps.

​Coach’s comments: “We have a great group of girls. We’ve been throwing a lot at them, but I think we will have a good year. They work hard; we’ve had some long practices without a complaint. They are intense and give full effort. They are coachable, smart and athletic. Our two seniors show leadership and we have good returning players with girls who really are up and coming. Most of them know each other well because of softball and other sports. We have a strong junior class that will help us offensively and defensively. We have a lot of speed and contact hitters, but I want to see more home runs. We want to grow this program over time.”
