Varsity Coach Rick Nester and his Lady Cavalier 11 headed over to Bassett High last night while Terry Warf and the Junior Varsity team hosted the Bengals at Cavalier Park.
” Over the winter we were stressing to our players that we wanted them to be more aggressive at the plate,” said Nester. ” The past two days showed that they were listening and took the message to heart.”
George Wythe at home on Tuesday and the trip across US – 58 yesterday afternoon gave the Varsity team amble time outside ahead of the questionable weather headed our way.
For the Junior Varsity team, the jamboree at Tazewell last week and the scrimmage last night has Coach Warf excited about the new season.
” Terry had nothing but good things to say after their time at Cavalier Park,” added Nester. ” Coach said that his group is also swinging the bats well.”
There was an off – season message to the two returning Varsity pitchers as well as both Emma Harman and Addie Greene return to the circle 🔵.
” The focus there is also about taking the game to the opponent,” noted Nester. ” We want them to challenge each hitter from pitch one in hopes of putting them on the defensive when in the batters box.”
Both teams are set to open the season at Cavalier Park next Wednesday evening when Galax travels to The Hill. The Maroon Tide is hopeful that they will be able to field a JV team this season after not being able to in the past.
Floyd County will be the team in the Three Rivers District that will not have a JV team this season.
