This year, the softball team has gained a lot of players, with a total of 21 girls on the team. Having more players means trying extra hard to get the team to work as one and also having a better chance of winning more games. “We gotta get better at fielding, and getting 21 girls to play in sync isn't easy,” says Coach Matthews.
