Final Comments:
Strengths--- The girls have worked very hard during the first two weeks of this season. Our team is very athletic and strong. We have a wide variety of athletes that are a part of our team. Many of our girls are multiple sport athletes. Coming off of a great tournament run last year, we are ready to work hard and continue with the success we had. Many of our players have also tasted success in earlier seasons this past year and are prepared for what is to come this season. We are bringing back our catcher (Ella Voigt), which will be a great first step of leadership on the field. She may have the potential to see some infield time, as well. Thea Staten (Freshman) will likely be the starting pitcher for us this season, while Katelan Nagel will also see time pitching. Both have been working extremely hard during the off-season to become stronger and more skilled pitchers, on top of playing other sports. Our lone senior is Kierstyn Bherns- who is a quiet leader who works extremely hard! She will help guide our underclassmen. Our junior class is STRONG and we have seen the huge amounts of success they have brought into the other girls program this year. We look forward to seeing that leadership on the softball field. Our sophomores will also continue to improve in their leadership skills- with one year under their belts, they will continue to get better each day! We are excited to see the potential of our other players step up into some new roles this year.
Weaknesses--- We struggled with some injuries last year and some of those injuries have carried over into this year. This has caused our numbers to be quite low. We are also going to miss having the leadership of Addie Arnold on the mound, as well as some of our other experienced seniors we lost.
Outlook--- Archbold will be the team to beat in the league. Evergreen and Wauseon will also continue to be strong competition. All the league teams continue to improve. Each program in our league has a chance to knock off someone on any given day. Our goal is to compete for a NWOAL Championship and make a good tournament run on a yearly basis. We want to continue to build this program to compete in the NWOAL and Division 2.
