The VMA Girls Fastpitch softball team is off to a 2-2 start. After losing to Lloyd 8-3 and Williamstown 9-2 to begin the season, the girls have put up two impressive offensive days to beat Silver Grove 14-3 and Calvary 14-1.

 

Leading the way at the plate is Anna Wagner (C/8th grade), Abby Bittlinger (RF/Junior) and Brooke Meier (P/8th grade). Anna is hitting .500 with 3 doubles and 3 RBI.

Defensively, Barbs (Kylee) Newman (CF/Senior), Gabrielle Schulte (SS/Junior), and Charissa are playing stellar defense turning 3 double plays so far this season. Brooke, in her 3rd year as starting pitcher, is performing well, with a 2-2 record so far while recording 25 strikeouts in 24 innings.

 

The team roster has a lot of depth and experience returning, anchored by Co-Captain Kylie (Bobby) Sharp (3B/Senior), as well as Anna Bosley (IF/Freshman), Molly Deane (IF-OF/7th grade) and Camdyn Meier (OF/5th grade).

 

We are excited to have newcomers Paulette Moser/Senior, Libby Califf/Senior, Caroline Dosker/Sophmore, Emily Egbers/8th grade and Mia Wheatley/Freshman, who have brought a tremendous amount of speed and athleticism giving the coaching staff a lot of in game options

options.

I believe Campbell County's softball coach coaches Villa Madonna volleyball. Wonder why the two teams don't play one another? Then again, I could be misinformed, but if I'm not, your coaches would have a great source to go to.
