Oly Softball Takes on the Cornbelt Conference

By Genna VanWye, OHS Torch reporter

The Olympia High School softball team season is underway; with several wins under their belt, the team is excited to see what the season and conference games will hold.

            The softball team is currently 7-4 and 2-2 in the Cornbelt conference. The team has over 20 games left in regular season and hopes of a successful post-season run.

            Kylie Bishop, Junior, said, “We have a really close team and I believe that this will help us be successful in the conference and on into post season.”

            The team has competed successfully in the Cornbelt conference over the years. Softball finished 3rd in the conference last year.

            “Most of the teams have improved from last year; they are much more aggressive,” said Madi Wille, Junior.

            With a heavy schedule of conference play coming up, the softball team is gearing up. In the next two weeks they will play some of the tougher competition in the conference. These teams include Pontiac, Central Catholic, Eureka, and U-High.

            Ashley Miller, Junior, said, “So far, the teams we have played can hit the ball well. Several of them are young teams that are hungry to win.”

            The softball team will play each conference team twice, being only half way through the first round. Schedules can be found on the OHS website. Come out to support your Lady Spartans.
