As expected in the first year of a sport, High Plains will field a young team, although Bridges said there is a group of seniors. On the field, pitching is Bridges' biggest concern about the year. Even though High Plains is in its first softball season, the team won't be without experience. We are starting to come around and look good. Also, players competed for summer softball teams in Phillips, Aurora, Stromsburg and Polk-Hordville.
Bridges feels the team has some natural talent.
We have the athletic abilities, we just need to get the mechanics down. Bridges said a sports clich is true for the Storm this year. I've not seen us play as a team, but I'm impressed at practices. I just want us to be a better team when the season ends in October. Post your thoughts in The Sports Forum.
