WISSAHICKON SOFTBALL PREVIEW
Coach: Crystalrae States, first year (2 years as head at Abington Friends previous to Wissahickon)
Last year’s record: 7-6 SOL, 10-9 overall
Key returning players:
Emily Kaissi; OF, Senior
Brittany Gelman: OF, Junior; 2013 2nd Team
Donna Intintolo: 3B, Junior; 2013 2nd Team
Key newcomers:
Michela Coleman, C; Freshman. A true freshman, Coleman will be a pivotal part of the team success. She brings a lot of athleticism and a strong work ethic. Expect to see big things from her this season.
Sabrina Marinucci, P; Sophomore. Sabrina will be taking over the pitching responsibilities this season. She still needs to mature into the role of being on Varsity, but will hold her own.
Outlook: “The team graduated five seniors and is welcoming back only a few returners from last season. The returning players will serve as staples for the team and hopefully be strong leaders to lessen the learning curve for the youngsters. The upperclassmen will have to perform well in order for the team to stay in games. We are comprised of young, athletic talent. We should be able to run on teams and play a good short game. Our pitching staff is young and will have to get used to the varsity platform. This team is very capable of being a contender for playoffs this year as long as they can be consistent.
This season is going to be about being a team; they are really going to have to rally around each other to be successful.”
