Eighteen teams from across the region converged on Co-An Park in McGregor for opening day of the WECSSAA girls softball season. "A lot of girls out here having a good time. Weather is perfect," said Brennan coach Jim Kitl whose team won a game. "Which is nice because half the hockey players I have with me who went through a winless season so we got our first W today.
Hailey Munro liked the atmosphere with all teams in the city and county divisions at the same part at the same time. "It's definitely more fun because say you play out of school (travel/club) you get to see you're other teammates and it's just more fun like that. You get to see what's going on with other teams."
Donald Lebel, head coach at L'Essor feels the festival style day was good for his players. "C'est extraordinaire qu'on puisse joue comme ca," Labelle said in french. "On a un tres bonne esprit d'equipe et cette annee Lajeunesse est aussi la et on a une confrontation Mardi prochain 3:30. C'est bien."
The Kingsville Comets won both of their games today as they hope to return to OFSAA for a second straight season. "We got second at OFSAA last year so hopefully we can have another good season." said outfielder Natalie Mann.
Shortstop Addison Dyck liked the way her team played on opening day. "There's obviously some places we can improve on but we played really well," Dyck said. "It would be nice to go back (to OFSAA) but there's a lot of great competition here so you never know what happens. It was a close game with Leamington last year so we have to focus on getting out of WECSSAA first before we can think about OFSAA."
I took a lot of shots. Here's the pic gallery. Enjoy.
