The softball season has started off great as the Sheldon Irish have started off with a record of 11-0. Junior Raegyn Miller plays outfield and works to find a balance between school and sports. Miller said, “It doesn’t interfere with my school work that much, but it definitely affects days I can take my test and quizzes while it also gives me trouble with the amount of time I have to complete my work.”

The athletes on the softball team are very driven when it comes to their sport. Many of the players have specific personal goals they want to achieve with softball. Senior Meara Sain said, “My personal softball goals include increasing my batting average while also improving my role in a team aspect.”

Speaking about team dynamics, sophomore Jazmin Gallegos said, “My favorite part about playing softball is enjoying these moments with the team and winning games with the people that help me improve every day in practice.” use Sheldon’s turf but we get last priority because we are a club sport and we also don’t get to use the locker rooms or the weight room.” This could easily be fixed if the school and lacrosse teams put in the effort to make a better playing environment. Prado also stated, “The men’s team and women’s team are treated equally most of the time but during one of the girls lacrosse games the lights on the turf went out and if it was any other sport that never would’ve happened and it would’ve been like a way bigger deal.” In conclusion, the Irish lacrosse teams are treated equally in comparison from men’s to women’s but not treated the same as other sports.

The softball team hopes to keep the winning going as the season goes on.
