Wolfpack Softball off to a great start in 2010!

Kali has worked hard on her softball game since we came to Elk Grove four years ago. Duane likes to tease about her All-Star try-outs back in San Mateo when she first starting playing and jokes that if those people who didn't select her for an All-Star team then could see her now they wouldn't believe it was the same kid! As a freshman in high school Kali was selected for the Varisty team and is having a GREAT time! She's getting lots of playing time because she's a verastile player who can field hard ground balls on the infield (3rd and 1st base) and speedy in the outfield to track and catch hard hit fly balls. And it doesn't hurt that there are only 11 girls on the Varsity roster - every one gets game time!

As a team the Wolfpack ladies lost only one pre-season game (vs. Pleasant Grove of course!) and in league play they are currently posting a 4-0 record. Kali's making a great impression on her demanding coaches and is sure to have a great season! We actually picked this high school primarily because it would allow Kali to play under the direction of Coach Lynda Bettencourt who was a collegiate player at Cal. We are very happy that we made this choice! Coach B is an amazing lady and great role model on the softball diamond, in the classroom (Kali is in her Health class this term) and as a Christian woman!
