The Olympia High School Softball Team kicked off their season Thursday with a 3-1 win over Williamsville High School, at home; the team will play over 30 games this season.
The girls are ranked 13th in state in the IHSA pre- season rankings. With a tough schedule ahead, the team is happy to see they’ve been recognized by coaches in the state.
The team finished last season 20-11. With eight returning varsity players five of which are returning starters, the team is pushing for an even better season.
Madi Wille, Junior and returning starter said, “I think this season will be awesome, we already won our first game. I’m sad that it’s Genna’s last year though.”
The team did lose several key players last year, including five seniors. With a current line up of one senior, six juniors, and two sophomores the team is filling big shoes.
Junior Ashley Miller said, “We have a really close team and a lot of talent; that’s gonna help us win games.”
The softball team at Olympia is always competitive. The last two years the team failed to make it out of regionals. This season will be a different story said pitcher, Ashley Miller.
OHS softball begins their season with a packed spring break week, taking on some tough competition. The girls play Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
