The softball team reflects the past season

The girls’ softball team at Deerfield Beach High has concluded their 2022 season. Despite having a 5-10 record, it’s considered a success because of their inexperienced team. Even with their losses, the girls kept a positive attitude throughout the season. 

The Lady Bucks opened out the season with an 18-7 loss to Coral Springs High School. They bounced back in the second game, beating the Dillard Panthers 25-2. They went on their first of two-win streaks this year, defeating Miramar High School 24-6. 

“At that point in the season, we felt confident, but we knew there were going to be tougher opponents later in the year,” junior right-fielder Caroline Sais said. 

As every team does in every sport, Deerfield had its flaws throughout the season. Especially with having such a young team, they struggled in various categories. There were many things that they could improve, but two main points stood out to one player. 

“We had trouble with communication amongst players and game sense,” senior Lauren Weeden said. “Next year will be tough, because the team is losing a few key seniors, but new players will also come in and hopefully make a difference.”

Looking onto next season, the Lady Bucks will only get better. There is a lot of room for improvement and the sky’s the limit for the girls.

“I believe next year will be a strong season for the girls, there is so much potential on a very young team,” senior catcher Sophia Gargum said.

Any newcomers, including incoming freshman, will improve Deerfield’s team. With this, they can make a deep playoff run next year and going forward.
