What will it take for your team to be successful this season? We will need to continue to have a powerful offense with speed to match. And our defense will need to be sound in all areas.
Who is your No. 1 pitcher and what can you tell me about her skills? Madison McDaniel will be our #1. She got some time last year, but we are really looking for her to take the reigns this year. She has grit and determination and she focuses on her spots. (2022 P) Kayla Aldridge will also see some time in the circle
What can we expect from your offense? We will have power and speed throughout.
Who are the potential All-Section/All-District/All-State players on your team? Every kid listed above as a top returner was an All-State selection last year and many for all three years in high school. Madison McDaniel also has the potential, as she will see a lot more pitching time this year
Signed and Committed Players: Katie Kistler, Florida; Jaeda McFarland, Maryland; Kaylee Lambrecht, North Carolina State; and Jaycie Brookshire, Pensacola State.
