The TCSF Softball Program is lead by Head Coach Tom Hardy who is assisted by Branden Morgan, Megan Ruediger, Cailin Miller, Andy Doornbos, Katie Lesinski, and Karissa Lurvey. Francis School System, is rich in tradition, thanks to the many years of leadership of Mike Doriot, who founded the program. At the heart of the Program are its athletes, who balance the rigors of the academics of St. Francis
, with the commitment to the Softball program, as well as the 3 C's which are the bedrock of St. Francis athletics: Character, Commitment and Compassion. These athletes compete for the pride of St. Francis High, their teammates, families and selves, but all they do is to honor Christ. Its the focus on Faith, Family, and Academics that allows for the opportunity of fellowship on the Softball field. On that Softball Field, the Gladiators of St. Francis High are poised to do big things...... The 2021 Gladiators finished with an impressive 35-7 Season, earning a Lake Michigan Conference and District Crown, on their way to a loss in the Regional Finals. The 2022 squad brings back significant experience, but remains a youthful squad with 1 senior, 4 Juniors, 4 Sophomores and 2 Freshman.
