It may seem to be the dead of winter, but the 2018 senior high girls softball season is right around the corner. Although, officially the team was supposed to start their season recently, all games have been cancelled for this week, postponing their season. At the Jag Journal, however, we are getting a lead off into the softball season with an inside scoop. This season, the HFHS senior high girls softball teams will have a total of 25 members; two of which are first time softball players. Losing two senior catchers last year, they are looking for someone to step up to the plate and take on the responsibility. With 23 returning players at the JV and Varsity level, Coach Joe Ranger will be looking for, “strong underclassmen group ready to jump up at a moment’s notice.” This being said, Coach Ranger says that he will rely strongly on his last year varsity starters to lead the way. The team will have to use their past knowledge and experiences in order to have a successful season. The coaches are expecting their team to work hard every game and every practice and are optimistic that it will result in a winning season. In order to obtain the ultimate goal of having a winning season, the 25 team members have made a list of a couple small goals that will lead them to their big goal. The first of these goals is that they are looking to improve their conference standings from last year. Last season, they finished fourth in their conference and are looking to move up in their ranking in order to get a better playoff position. Their other goal they have in mind is to not get ten run ruled by their opponent. They aim to play strong defense and shut out the other team on the scoring front. With these two goals in mind, they hope to achieve a winning season and be an unstoppable force. Throughout the rest of the season, Coach Ranger is looking forward to “working with all of the girls and having so many girls come back out for softball again this spring.” The softball team is excited to get out onto the field to start practicing but are halted by the neverending winter. Coach Ranger would also like to see the snow melt so he and his team can “actually get outside at some point in time.” When the weather warms up and the snow melts to reveal the field, come out and support the girls when they play their home games at the Flagstad fields over by the elementary school!
