Hoping for a big season from them

Hmm.

 

We started out unranked last year, went 50-15 (4-4 against ranked teams), finished ranked #19, and were one of the last 4 standing. Pretty awesome year

 

This year we start out ranked #12, hopefully we'll outdo last year.

 

Did we lose some serious talent to graduation?

 

Go Bulls!

I actually enjoyed watching them...

BB and SB has been more entertaining than FB lately

Go Bulls!

Last year we lost 5 seniors all who played a pretty strong role with the team, but we have strength in a few locations as well as lots of players who have game experience.

Our entire pitching staff is LOADED! This will most likely be our strength this year. We return all three starters who have a bunch of experience taking over games as well as bring in a true freshman pitcher who will likely see a few games but has had pretty dominant stats in HS, should be interesting to see how she develops especially with such a strong pitching core to help her out.

 

It seems like this year we will be reloading and not rebuilding. Expect another great year!

Looking forward to hopefully another big year from the softball team this year. Sure had fun watching them in the WCWS.

Losing Mouse at 3B is probably the toughest spot to fill.  Erickson loved her leadership.

Nevins.Was.Awesome. Hope she's got the skip-and-a-hop thing sorted out.

 

Nice to have some offense to go with thepitching. We got any good bats?

back as asst though

I don't know much about the new bats we recruited except for Erica Nunn. She will be our new pitching prospect but will also play in the outfield. Judging from her HS stats she finished with a career .535 batting average. I am not sure if that is power hitting or slap hitting and she is just fast. Should b e nteresting with the recruits. As for the returning players we do still have some good bats, Medina, Kenshira, the Goff Twins, and Stormi (coming off the bench) should provide us with a strong base for hitting. I am excited to see the freshman and transfers we brought in. Lots of hype that comes with them. I am super excited for this season to start up
