(LAKEWOOD RANCH, FL) – The LRHS softball team is pumped to start a successful year. This is an exciting time for the members of the team, and hope to challenge for a state title this year.

The team’s quote is “Dare To Be Different,” and that’s exactly what the girls on the team do. They give their all every game and aren’t afraid to learn from mistakes.

LRHS softball coach, Tony Cummins says, “I’m most excited about bringing a new group of girls together to play as a team.”
There are 18 dedicated members on this year’s softball team. Tryouts took place the first week back after winter break. Preseason begins this week.

Junior Alicia Wagner has been playing for the LRHS softball team since she was a freshman, and is ecstatic about this season.

“I have the most memorable moments playing softball, and I love my team, and coach. States will be really fun, and I’m looking forward to it.” Last year the Lady Mustangs made it to the state final four in Vero Beach.

Senior Nicolette Anderson says, “This is my senior year, and I have a feeling that this will be a really good season. Our team is ready, and we’re going all the way.”

The first game will be Feb. 17 at Manatee High School.
