Because the weather outside won’t tell you, I will- it’s softball season everyone! The Lady Jaguar Softball Team began practice this week with less than three weeks until their first game. Coach Ranger is setting the bar high for his girls this season and they are more than ready to rise above it. Last season the Jaguars had an exciting season- one for the record books! They had a winning season and went 3-2 in the section playoffs, a feat that has not been done in over 15 years. From their season they took away a subsection runner-up plaque and a need for avengement. They ended their season two wins from going to the state tournament, something they are looking to do this season. Assistant Coach, Erich Richter, comments that one of the things they are going to work at is “getting better during the season so [they] are playing [their] best ball by the end of the season.” Last season the team graduated no seniors and so this spring they are looking to build off of that. With a team full of experience, they are going to use that to their advantage. One of their goals this season is to finish at their top of their conference. Last season, a couple wins cost them their spot at the top, but this year they will work every game and practice with this in mind. The team has five returning seniors- Maddie Mattson, Abby Painovich, Christeva Perrotti, Ella Duroche, and Haley Rimer- who will all be expected to step and lead the team. With all of them being varsity contributors in the past, they are more than ready to rise to the challenge. They all agree that this year, with hard work each and every game and practice, they will be ready to make a deeper run in the playoffs that last year, and maybe even end up at the state tournament. All things considered, these girls are more than ready to get back out on the field. They are excited for what this season has in store for them and with determination and hard work, they should have a very successful season. Depending on the weather- if the snow melts off of the field- the ladies will play their first game at Flagstad Fields on April 2nd versus the Rush City Tigers. Come on out and support your Lady Jaguar Softball team!
