All preseason games were played on the ESPN Wide World of
Sports softball fields at Walt Disney World. The team did great in their
preseason games as they played eight games total and beat Medomak Valley, ME;
Westerly, RI; St. Paul’s, CT and Simsbury, CT. They split winnings with Skowhegan, ME and East Haven, CT,
meaning they played each team twice and won a game and lost a game to each team.
Coach Demmons said one of his
favorite parts was on the field. He enjoyed seeing his team gel into a cohesive
unit and seeing everyone come from behind to win.
When they weren’t on the
fields they were visiting the University of Florida to watch the Gators play
the South Carolina Gamecocks in Southeastern Conference (SEC) softball. They
also hung out as a team with families visiting the theme parks and just
relaxed.
This was their second trip
down. “This trip the girls were even more successful on the diamond and just as
well behaved,” remarked Demmons. “The camaraderie the girls developed and how
it happened so organically with no forcing from coaches or parents was great.”
The girls loved playing at
Disney and in the warmer climate. Their first practice back in Maine was a bit
of a shock to the system, but the girls handled it well.
Congratulations to the
girls’ softball team on their preseason victories and we look forward to a
great season!
Their next game is Monday,
April 30 at Cheverus High School in Portland at 4 p.m. and their next home game
is Wednesday, May 2 at 4 p.m.
