Perry’s varsity softball is foreseen to give the start of the season a big bang when they first step onto the field this Spring. Last year, head coach Kevin Chapin announced he would not be returning for the 2015 season. This year, softball has welcomed coach John Roberts to replace Chapin.

The softball team has qualified for playoffs every year in Perry’s existence, so this year’s goal is no different than years past.

The team won their first game against Buckeye’s Verrado on February 25th. The team’s solid performance has visibly given confidence to all new and returning players.

Every year it is expected the group will lose some valuable players; but, undoubtedly, they have also gained teammates with promising futures. Varsity accepted three incoming freshmen to join this term while also letting go of prized 2014 graduates like Sabrina Nieto and Malayna Gomez.

Softball’s upcoming games are highly anticipated, along with the ongoing question: will this year’s team continue their impeccable performance just as the teams before them? With the progress seen so far, it is safe to say the girls are on the right track.
