New regional softball team has sights set high in inaugural season
A new U17 regional softball team is making noise following their first-ever week of play.
The Lakeland Blaze took to the field for the first time last weekend, playing in a tournament in Sherwood Park, Alta, where Lakeland’s Head Coach Scott Reed said he was impressed with the performance since it was the first time they played games as a team.
“We were able to shake some rust off and find our groove,” he said. “Our bats came alive and our defence got better, so we ended up winning our way back up the tournament schedule and ended up losing in the A-Semifinals and then played in a consolation game after that. We were really happy with the start to our year and how the girls got going throughout.”
The team consists of 12 players and four coaches from in and around the Prince Albert, Melfort, and Tisdale areas, and will only play in tournaments as a travel ball club.
