After having a successful regular season, the varsity softball team will be heading to regionals and hopefully state to end the season. With only six losses, which were mostly at the beginning of the season, and 18 wins so far, softball coach Ty Lucas is confident with his team entering the playoffs.
“So far, the season has gone really well,” said Lucas. “They’ve been right on par with what our expectations have been. They’ve put themselves in a good position.”
Lowry finished the regular season in second place behind Fernley, which gives them a first-round bye in the playoffs. The six-team tournament begins on Thursday, and the top two teams will advance to state.
“We expect to be one of those top two teams,” said Lucas.
Sophomore Kelcey Cooper believes that they have been doing well this season.
“We have worked really hard for 2nd place in the league. I think we have met most of our expectations this year,” said Cooper. “One, being beating Fallon in the series. If we all do our jobs, I think we will finish on top at regionals.”
Junior Macey Katzenmeyer agrees that they will do well at regionals.
“We held ourselves to high expectations this season, to get better, and we did. I think as long as we come into regionals with great mental preparedness, we will do well,” said Katzenmeyer. “When we play loose and confident, that’s when we win games.”
Senior Kyllie Sappington is coming to the end of her last Lowry softball season. She is confident that her team going to state.
“Our main goal was to be one of the top two teams for regionals and, of course, go to state, so I’d say we have met our expectations so far,” said Sappington. “ I think we will do well at regionals as long as we hit, we will have a very good chance of going to state.”
