Scales is one of the best hitters on the team, a fact she credits to putting in the time in the weight room and being a catcher her freshman year. “Catchers can see the ball better,” she opined. “They’re used to watching different spins coming across the plate.” Scales also gave thanks to batting coach Abbie Overmyer.

Assistant Coach Greg Zimpleman has had the unique experience of coaching his daughter, Addison Zimpleman. “Her personality is fiery, very competitive, and I’m the same way.” He recalled the heart-sinking feeling of watching the sectional loss to North White as a parent. “I knew she had given everything she had.”

“I always want them to succeed,” Zimpleman added, “but that’s not the way it goes in sports. Life doesn’t always treat you fairly, and not necessarily in just sports.”

A favorite quote of Zimpleman’s is “success is a lagging indicator of hard work,” and the Lady Comets’ semi-state victory and 22-5 season is just one example.

Longtime Comets supporter Jim Hites was in the autograph line with a softball for all the Lady Comets to sign. “It’s going right in the lifetime keepsake collection,” he said.
