Pennridge Softball Preview

PENNRIDGE SOFTBALL PREVIEW

Coach:  Paul Koehler, 2^nd year

Assistant coaches: LeeAnn Kramer (2^nd), Tyler Penhallow (2^nd), Eric Romig (1^st)

Last year’s record:  5-8 SOL, 11-9 overall

Notable losses:  Jordan Villella

Key returners: Emily Hofmann (senior, 1st base/catch), Paige DeCew (Junior Pitcher/Catcher), Brooke Labs (Junior 3rd base), Haley Taylor (Sophomore Shortstop), Emily Mayhew (Sophomore  Pitcher/Outfield)

Others to watch:  Alicia Phillips (Junior, catcher)

Strengths:  Having two returning pitchers, our pitching should keep us in games.

Question marks:  Depth. We are very light in numbers of varsity players. If girls stay healthy, we should be okay. If not, we could be in for a tough year.

Outlook:  We are still a very young team with only one senior. Our success will depend on sophomores and juniors bringing their "A game" in order for us to stay competitive in an extremely tough league.  We will work hard to qualify for District playoffs this year.
