Council Rock South Softball Preview

COUNCIL ROCK SOUTH SOFTBALL PREVIEW

Head coach:  Greg Heydet, Sr  4th Season at Head Varsity Coach of CR South

Assistant coaches- Steve Bitting 4th Season,  Frank Marino 2nd Season

2016 record:  8-6 League,  11-7 Overall

Notable losses- Mikayla Becker who was a superb defensive centerfielder (2 errors in her first game last year and no errors for the rest of the year)

We have 7 returning Varsity Players- Stephanie Andreoli P/CF, Karley DeSpirito OF, Makenna Diamond 2B/OF, Sabrina Dobron C/1B, Emily Freed 2B/DP, Melanie Wilkinson 3B/1B & Phylicia Wilkov 3B/SS/1B. 

Others to watch- We have Mackenzie Marino OF/P and Devon Bradley Bradley OF up from JV to give us strength in the outfield.  Freshmen Danielle Walters P/OF and Marissa Thompson SS/C will hopefully surprise a lot of people.

Strengths- Our strength is a powerful offensive senior class and anyone else that steps up to join them.  First time since I've been there that our pitching staff consists of four pitchers, each offering something different.

Question Marks- Hopefully our outfielders can quickly bond together, step up and help each other out.

Outlook– “Great bunch of girls this year.  Everyone can play and compete.  I came here when these seniors were ninth graders.  I've been waiting for this year.  If we stay focused, listen and work hard, this could be a super and fun year.”
