Dragons Softball Preview.

Written Saturday April 11th. at 1:30 PM

This season's Dragon softball team will be an interesting team to watch from a team that lost to Romeo in the regional final a year ago. This team will still have the offense to score runs and solid pitching to make them a dangerous threat this season for manager Joe Woytira.

What makes this year's team scary is that they only have three seniors on the roster whom won two Red titles and could be in line to make a State title playoff run. The team that could get in the way of that goal is Clarkston as the Wolves are solid, and experienced as well.

Alex Carpenter is a utility player, also a girls basketball player. Carpenter has a lot of speed on the base-paths and is expected to have a solid season. She batted close to 500 and scored 57 runs. Carpenter can steal bases and play anywhere on the field.

Megan Hall at first base also a former girls basketball player has the power and is solid defensively. Hall had a 405 batting average last season.

Carly McGee is a good third baseman and is expected to continue where she left off last season, she had 24 runs batted in and a 458 batting average.

Rachel Dolland is the shortstop. She had a 433 batting average, 36 runs batted in and 39 runs from a season ago. Dolland will be the team's most dangerous hitter this season.

Sophomore Shelby Misiak is expected to do more this season than she did last season. Last season Misiak had a 321 batting average.

Junior pitcher Sierra Gonzales returns and is expected to continue to improve where she left off from a season ago.

If these players along with others contribute and stay healthy than this could be a special season in Orion once again but the question will be is can this team get to the promise land, we'll find out.
