This year, the team welcomed 12 freshman players.
“Coming in as a freshman,” Lockard said, “playing a sport can always be nerve racking but all of the older girls are really accepting and excited to have us there.
“It feels really nice to be able to be comfortable around all the girls and be able to enjoy something we all love.”
The first section game will be Saturday, March 27 at 10:00 a.m. at home.
Players and spectators are continuing to follow COVID-19 guidelines. Spectators are required to sit six feet apart and wear masks. Players must have a mask on the sidelines at all times.
