Mr.McCrery is the head coach for the girls softball team. He says they’re starting their season with two very important goals. They want to be better at the end of the season than they are at the beginning. He also wants it to be a very positive season for these student athletes. The team lost three seniors last year. This year they have 4 seniors.Ta’Ryah Mason, Taryn Simmers, Diona Smith and Brielle Stone. As well as 13 varsity letter winners in which seven of those are returning as sophomores.
Their record was 9-19, though Mr. McCrery voiced, “We hope to improve upon last years record.” He also states “Our team is young but experienced, the girls worked hard in the off-season and we see that in their performance during pre-season practices. Our pitching has improved significantly and should put us in a position to be more competitive in the MOAC.” Good luck this season ladies!
