OnFocus Stanley-Boyd Orioles Softball Season Preview
Returning Letter Winners: Aaliyah Allard, Abby Reynolds, Chelsie Nawrocki, Emily Brenner, Emme Felmless, Kaden Drehnel, Lauren Potaczek, Mallory Eslinger, Sierra Close, Taniele Ducommun and Tina Benson.
Stat Highlights: Returning some quality hitters Mallory Eslinger .432, Emily Brenner .349, Alliyah Allard .348, and Emme Felmlee .333
We are returning almost the entire team from last year and they are coming back bigger and stronger.
Abby Reynolds, who played 3rd and pitcher last season has been working tirelessly on her pitching in the off season and is ready to hit the mound with confidence. Emme Felmlee and Lauren Potazek can back up the mound, consistently throwing strikes.
I expect the entire line up to be quality hitters with a lot of senior leadership. We should have some really solid defense since we are returning people to almost every position on the field. The whole entire team has a desire to be their best selves this season. They are putting in the hard work and are hungry for a winning season.

Conference: Being that I have been away from the conference and coaching for a few years, I don’t have a full perspective, but my hope is that we are in the top 3-4 teams of the conference. We have a very very competitive conference with many teams making it late into the playoff race and multiple state qualifiers.
Strengths: Overall experience and athleticism, strong defense and dependable pitchers.
Coaching Staff: Head – Andrea Mahr, Assistants: Bridget Brenner, Alyssa Gilbert, Marie Nawrocki, Briana Rife, and Kim Goettl
