Dear Parents and Fans,
Entering this season, we knew we had a lot of work ahead of us. As a young and inexperienced teamโcomposed of four new seniors joining our three returning seniors, five sophomores, and two freshmenโthe players arrived hungry, willing to learn, and ready to build upon the previous season.
Due to limited outdoor practice time in March, we spent significant time in the hitting cages. This focus paid off, as the team batting average rose to .318 this year, continuing a steady upward trend from .303 in 2025 and .191 in 2024. This success was led by the top of our lineup: Claire (.514), Tinsley (.412), Bella (.333), and Emily (.324), alongside strong contributions in limited at-bats from Logan (.440) and Katie (.325).
In the circle, Tinsley and Bella showed tremendous growth. After putting in extra work with a pitching coach during the off-season, they both produced excellent results. Bella took the heavy load early with 73 innings, while Tinsley grew stronger as the year progressed, pitching 56 innings and recording 48 strikeouts.
While we had our defensive ups and downs early on due to our inexperience, the team played with much more confidence as the season moved forward. I want to highlight Delila Fowler (3rd base), Olivia Dempsey (Center Field), and Angela Dempsey (2nd base), who all excelled while learning new positions.
We consistently coached the team to be "better than yesterday," and our sectional game proved that they took that to heart. Despite coming up short, it was one of our best all-around performances offensively, defensively, and in the circle.
I want to thank our seven seniors for their hard work and dedication; they truly left this program better than they found it. Looking ahead, we return most of our offensive production and both of our pitchers. With a talented incoming freshman class, I am excited to begin off-season workouts and continue growing this program.
Finally, thank you to all the parents and fans for your unwavering support throughout the season.
Coach Dyer
