The girls varsity softball team has still to come a long way after this season. Although six girls from last year’s team stayed on varsity as seniors and juniors this year, everything changed. This season had five wins and fifteen losses. After last year’s team record, this year’s team had big shoes to fill but it was quite impossible. These girls started the season off playing against Hancock with a win of 17-7. Their start was nice but became difficult because they were in a higher conference. The schools had a big advantage over our school but no matter what these girls put their all into the game. Although these girls had a bad season, they still kept their team together and worked as one. One of their last games against Morgan Park was the game that the girls had to win in order to stay in the conference. It was an intense game going back to back, at the very last inning the schools tied 10-10. But Morgan Park came in with that one point and ended the game. The girls played their cleats off the very last games and were so close in every game. But they knew this season was going to kill their record. After being asked about how she feels knowing she will be saying goodbye to her fellow team mates and what softball means to her, Katelyn Nevarez (Div. 512) said “Being in softball changed me so much. Before I was so shy, now I’m more myself. I’m going to miss all the goofy moments on and off the field. After all those home-runs I’ll finally be saying goodbye and that breaks my heart, I love playing softball especially on this team with these girls. “ Being close as a team means a lot to these girls, in order to achieve greatness you have to work hard all together. There is no I in team and all these girls know that. They put their personal business to the side and bonded to create a family. Nataly Gandarilla (Div. 603) said, “I consider these seniors to be like a second family to me because I know if I ever need anything they will always be there to help me out.” In order to be a great team you need a great coach! Without Coach Browns support and readiness, nothing would have been the same. Their coach made them the players they are today. Coach Brown said, “The hardest part of losing seniors is that we lose leadership.” After all the amazing memories and games for these seniors it will all be gone in a blink of an eye. It’s time to say goodbye.
