The Jonathan Law softball team finished the regular season with a record of 18-2, qualifying them for the SCC and State tournaments. 

“We had good freshmen come in and fit into the right spots,” senior centerfielder Paige Jolley said. “With our coaching and team bond I never really doubted us.” 

Jolley is one of many seniors, including Nicolina Salanto, Elizabeth Roos, Hailey Oliver, and Macie Rascoll, who have led the team in the right direction and to its success. 

“I just tried to do my part the best I could,” Jolley said. “I try to lead by example so I always kept a good attitude, cheered on my teammates, and always gave 100%.”

The team’s pitching has been one its biggest strengths this season, led by sophomore Mady Bull. Her success came from setting goals and working to accomplish them. 

“The major goal I set for myself this year is to make it to states and also have better control over all my pitches and I believe I’ve accomplished that,” Bull said. 

After losing seniors to graduation, several incoming freshmen stepped up and filled the shoes of the previous seniors. This was a major factor to the team’s accomplishments. 

“The freshmen stepped up and filled in the gaps from the graduating seniors last year,” Bull said. “We all work hard for each other and push each other to get better every game and every practice so at the end of the day we will come out ahead.”

The long-term goal for the team is to come out on top of State tournament. 

“The goals were to win every single game and if not then win the ones that matter the most and win the SCC and States championships,” Bull said.
