Virgin Valley 2013 Softball Capsule

Head coach: Travis Griffiths, first season

2012 record: 10-21 (1-7 3A Southern)

Returning letter winners (starters): Seven (Six)

Top players: IF Alora Bonner (Sr.), IF Chianne Crandall (Sr.), OF Kayli Hughes (Sr.), OF Lexi Barnum (Sr.), IF Amanda Stenberg (Sr.), IF Jazmine Hardy (Sr.)

Outlook: Griffiths inherits a team that won just once in the 3A Southern League last season, but has promise this year with six starters back.

"The Bulldogs will count on senior leadership to achieve the goals of having a successful season and reaching the postseason," Griffiths said. "The Bulldogs will have to blend that leadership with the younger players’ strengths and abilities."
