The girls' softball team started their training for the upcoming softball season. As the new season drew near, the girls received a new coach. With baseball experience in his back pocket, Coach Rick Chapman proved to be a great asset to the team. "This is a new season and we are working hard to improve our past record," commented Coach Chapman. With most of last season's team graduating, the team was in need of some fresh new faces . The answer to this problem was the large turnout of the girls to try to earn a spot on the team. "We have a young team with lots of potential that will lead us to a successful season, " 138 • Sports/Girls' Softball STATS SPHS 1 1 3 1 7 11 6 11 7 2 8 1 .3. 4 2 5 3 1 Osceola East Lake Northeast Dunedin ' Seminole Dixie Hollins Lakewooa .Seminole.

"Coach Chapman's practices have helped me become a better ball player, and play to my fullest potential," added Shelly Suetholz. "All in all, the best hint to give my players was the most logical one. 'Keep your head looking forward, and keep your eye on the ball'," said Coach Chapman. Rich Woody
