Despite a disappointing 6-17 thus
far in the season, the West Jessamine softball team has maintained a high moral
as they begin to reach the end of the regular season. With a rough 1-9 start in the first 10 games
of the season, things didn’t look very optimistic for the rest of the
season. However, according to freshman
left fielder Taylor Hendrix, the Lady Colts might be beginning to right the
ship going into the latter of the season. “The first few games were kind of
rough, but we have really worked hard to improve over the last few weeks,” says
Hendrix, “Each day we get better and we are all willing to do whatever it takes
to win at this point.”
Coached by Michelle Baker and led
by seniors Jessica Baker, Ashley Brunty, Ali Cox, and Alex Huffman, the Colts
have only 12 games remaining to compensate for the disheartening first half of
the season. “The seniors this year are
amazing leaders. When we’re down in a
game they pick us right back up. If we make a mistake, they tell us to brush it
off. They are always encouraging us and
showing that they will never give up on us in a game,” says Hendrix.
On
Saturday, April 27, the Colts showed some improvement beginning with an
impressive 8-2 win arising over a tough Garrard County team, who routed the
Lady Colts earlier in the season in an error-ridden season opener.
“For the
rest of the season I expect a lot. We
are beyond determined to win our games and are ready for districts. We have been giving 100% effort and don’t
plan on going down without a fight,” says Hendrix.
Come out and support your Lady
Colts at their next home game on Wednesday, May 1st vs. Montgomery
County!
