BASEBALL From headteacher Christopher Chaffin: Our pitching team of workers must be quite stable these 12 months. I appearance to improve in the hitting class for sure. We hit the ball nicely for the final 12 months, but we had far too many strikeouts and runners left on base, so we worked on pitch selection and situational hitting to begin the season. Read below for a standard outlook on each crew as provided with the aid of the top coaches.
If we get beat, I want to get hit by using the other group and not using ourselves. We had been in an excellent variety of video games and only didn’t execute down the stretch, and we search for that to trade this 12 months. On his gamers: Matthew Mills (SR) and Kevin Foster (JR) could be our pinnacle returning fingers this year. They both pitched correctly last yr, and the feature developed even extra inside the offseason. Brian Roberts (SR) has to have a remarkable 12 months additionally. He is a robust kid, and if he can get in a groove, he ought to lead the power numbers in the region. Freshmen Owen Payne, Landon Huff, Mason Mattingly, and Elijah Boarman must play a significant element this year. We are a younger crew with the simplest four upperclassmen and no sophomores, and we will be gambling four eighth-graders. SOFTBALL From head instruct Christopher Chaffin: I assume we can have a top-notch season.
We have a lot of skilled gamers who’re coming lower back. We are playing in two large tournaments, the Franklin Simpson Lady Cat Classics and the Abe Lincoln Classic in LaRue County, on the way to be comprehensive exams on our agenda. Defensively, we had numerous errors ultimate 12 months in recreation. If we tighten up our defense, we can be as desirable as everybody in the location. On his gamers: Brittney Booker (SR), Nina Wathan (SR), Savannah Aull (SR), Cassidy Morris (FR), and Katherine Hibbitt (FR) are all terrific leaders with tons of revel in. Hibbitt and Wathen are notable pitchers as a way to step up in their appearances at the mound; however, if they pitch as I understand, they could be in every sport. Morris is one of the best catchers in the area. Aull leads us final yr with a .525 batting common, and Booker becomes right there at the back of her with a .475 average.
