It’s almost time to hang up your coat and shake off those boots because the sun is out and softball season is here. In the month of January, the Mavs softball team was out on the field working on their game for the 2018 season.

“We’re all working very hard and I feel that everyone’s putting effort into it,” sophomore Haile Mota said. “We’re going to have a great season this year.”

The district record for last year’s team was 0-12 with no wins, unfortunately.

“This season we’re going towards winning more than half of our games,” sophomore Krista Gomez said. “I think we will do well and try our best to work with everything we do in practice.”

The first game of the season takes place at Harker Heights on Feb. 20.

“We want to get better every day, that’s the biggest thing,” Head Coach Steve Vierra said. “If we get better every day and if everybody learns something every day then that’s all that really matters. The big goals handle themselves.”
