With the four coaches; Shala Ostberg, Wade Brashear, Sarah Garcia, and Clarissa Eloge.

Lucy Mendez, a senior softball player, stated that her goal by the end of the season is “to build new relationships with the other players and to pitch harder and better than last year.” Mendez played all four years of high school. With new team players and coaches, Mendez commented “I do think this year will be a little different since we are recruiting and building a new team up from the past years I’ve played softball and having new coaches will be a little weird at first, but as a team we will get through everything together.” 

The softball team has already begun their softball season. Putting their hard work in the heat, Ostberg shared that the team’s weaknesses is that “the players have never played on a softball team together before.” Coach Ostberg also shared that the team’s strengths include “practicing hard everyday, swinging at strikes, not swinging at balls, and fielding grounders.”
