STA softball team increases in participants, makes cuts

by ALLISON FITTS

Number of girls: Twenty six girls tried out for the JV and varsity teams. This is the first time in several years that enough girls have showed up that cuts needed to be made.

Qualifications needed to make team: ‘Athleticism and the ability to throw and catch a softball are key to making the team,’ senior Anna White said

Goals: ‘[Our goal is to] get a banner in the gym for the first time ever,’ White said. ‘Even if it is just a district banner.’

Freshmen: ‘There’s going to be a lot of good freshmen for JV and we might have some runners for varsity,’ White said. ‘I’m excited to see what they will be able to contribute.’

Seniors: ‘We finally have older talent on the team this year,’ White said. ‘I think now that we’re seniors, we’ve got in our head that it’s ‘Ëœnow or never’.'
