Englewood High School<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first game of the 2014-2015 softball season seemed like mid-season form\u00a0for the defending District Champion Englewood Rams. Englewood won 10-0 thanks to aggressiveness both at the plate and around the bases. Catcher Taylor Rouse and Short Stop Marisa Richardson led a complete team effort this afternoon, as the Rams played with enthusiasm and focus.\"2-11-15<\/a><\/p>\n

Lee possessed the enthusiasm but seemed to lack the focus to respond to the early onslaught from Englewood. Their\u00a0talent is unquestioned with leaders Rae Jones, Alisa Sweat, Donyetta Robinson Kennedy Pardee and\u00a0Courtney Starkey on the team. The task for Head Coach Barrett of Lee will be to mesh the talents of\u00a0his team to achieve a common goal of winning. “We have some really good players but have been at a disadvantage attempting to prepare for this game. They (Englewood) have a very good team and I wasn’t able to simulate\u00a0this type of pitching speed to my team in practice”. \u00a0It may take some time to gel for the Generals but Coach Barrett seems determined to get them on the winning track.<\/p>\n
