Our lone senior player Caroline Mercer. Mercer is coming to the team without ever playing softball.

Mercer Was also a part of the volleyball team winning to back to back OVAC championships and the district Championship. Working hard and improving every day.

Rounding out the The 2022 Lady Tiger roster will be Josey Greenwood and Arianna Saxton. Greenwood is working at The outfield and behind the plate catching. As an Incoming freshman Saxton will be relied on as one of the LT’s starting pitchers.
Final Comments:
Obviously losing two key four year starters at key positions will be hard to replace. While we did not lose numbers to graduation we lost quality players. We have 6-7 Returning starters. We expect to be competitive even though we are young with no senior starters. We have plenty of good hitters. Our season could depend on how fast our young pitchers and catchers can come along. Our juniors have given us leadership and baring injuries we expect to continue to get better throughout the season.
