OnFocus Assumption Royals Softball Season Preview
Key Returner:
The defending 2022 WIAA D5 State Champions will be returning their entire starting lineup. Key returners will start with the senior pitcher/catcher dual of Ava Schill (1st team Marawood South and Division 5 player of the year) and Cristin Casey (1st team Marawood South and 1st team all-state). Shortstop Claire Nelson (1st team Marawood South) first baseman Anna Schooley (1st team Marawood South) second baseman Macy Vollert (2nd team Marawood South) and senior third baseman Maleia Kolo (honorable mention Marawood South) all return to what was a very solid infield. Lydia Smits (2nd team Marawood South) will again direct things from center field with Madi Abbott (2nd team Marawood South) in left and senior Sadie Galbreath (honorable mention Marawood South) in right.
2023 Central Wisconsin Spring Sports Schedules
Strengths:
Pitching and Defense again will be the staples to our program. With two strong pitchers returning and the addition of another very good freshman arm, our hope is to get on the board early, limit our mistakes and create a lot of pressure offensively.
Conference:
The Marawood South will again prove to be the toughest small school conference in the state! There is more parity this year than ever. Every team has a good #1 pitcher and each team is very well coached. You can’t take a night off in the South, it’s going to be a dog fight!
Staff:
Co-Head Coaches – Charlie Nelson and Rob Schill
Assistant Coach – Brittney Flugaur
