The Trojans softball team was 0-20 through late last week. Coach Lindsay Slovey has been impressed with the pitching efforts of Lauren Gehrke and Greta Hoogstra. “They have been working hard on the mound,” she said. “Greta has been quite an asset to us this year. As a freshman, we are looking forward to the next few years with her on the mound.”

Slovey said her young team continues to make strides. “We have been getting better, but we have not gotten a win yet,” she said. “We have started rebuilding the program, which is exciting. We have 12 freshmen who we are excited to be working with.”
The Trojans continue to work on scoring more runs and cutting down on errors in the field. “We have been having a hard time scoring runs,” said Slovey. “We leave a lot of runners on base.
Slovey also has been excited about the recent play of Kelly Tameling and Ally Heersink. “Kelly has done an awesome job moving around the infield,” she said. “She has been moving around from third to short and over at first. It has been great having her in the infield. Ally has done a great job for us at shortstop. It has been fun to see her play this year.”
Slovey said the goal is to keep building the program. “We are looking forward to the next four years as our program continues to grow,” she said. “We are excited for the future girls coming up from eighth grade and looking forward to only getting stronger from here.”
