We have a lot of skills, just not a lot of experience. For starters, the versatility enables the Gulls to be almost two-deep at any position, something they haven t had in recent years. In years past, we ve been missing a player or two at key spots, said Mauldin. It s still practice, but I m not seeing any noticeable weak links. Then again, the world through the eyes of a softball player changes once play begins in earnest.
Games are differnt than practice.
And we do play in the state s toughest softball league. Terranova, entering her sixth year as head Seagull coach, knows her team will need to grow quickly to compete and give support to Bradley and Hughes. We re going to need for our younger players to step in and produce. But while the Seagulls may appear young, they have senior Brenda Tone back after a year away as a foreign exchange student and seniors Bess Hendryx and Amber Danelovich after earning varsity letters a year ago. Hendryx played second base last season, but is looking sharp in left field and Danelovich played right field last year, but wants a shot at third base.
