Softball

Many girls from Newark High School enjoy participating in softball. With coaches Mr. Holman and Ms. Stechschulte, who wouldn’t? When asked how the season is going, Alexis Waters responded, “Our first game was kind of rough but that only means they will come back strong and win the next game.” The team has plenty of other games to look forward to and plenty of time to practice and prepare to win the next game. Good luck with the rest of the season and we are sure you will do great!

According to Taylor Rehberg, her “favorite memorable moment from the team was posing for pictures while on the bench against Mooseheart.” Melissa Schmidt stated, her “best game was when the girls played against Serena because we all played well, and it was a challenging game.” According to Mr. Skelton the most memorable moment of the season was “winning The Little Ten Conference Tournament.” “Hinckley- Big Rock was the most challenging opponent because those girls always seem to find a way to edge us out.” Overall the girls had a very successful season and are looking forward to next year.
