The softball team lost more than half of last year’s starting players, who all were seniors.
“This year it is especially important to build the younger girls’ skills and to come together as a team since we lost so many [seniors],” Brittney Pettinger, senior softball player, said. “There’s only five returning.”
The team faces a crazy situation this season with so many new players, so Pettinger thinks it is imperative the team makes an effort to work together.
“Since we lost so many, we will have to work harder to win. I’m not saying we didn’t work hard last year, but we will have to work more as a team since we don’t have a team that played together for so long,” Pettinger said. “The team last year played together almost all four years of high school.”
