The Arabian softball team dug their heels into the dirt for the strait of their 2014 pre-season. The team has had 9 games and only lost 1. The district hasn’t started yet but the girls are getting ready to face their competition.

“The games we’ve played went very well and I’m proud of how strong we started this season off ,” senior Jordan Alvarez said, “Our girls are coming together as a team and that’s exactly what we need before district begins.”

The girls are staying confident and working hard towards their goals. 

“I expect to get a win every game and start a winning streak,”  senior Casey Montalvo said. “We have done extremely well so far, everyone has been hitting great and our defense has been superb.”

This past weekend, Feb. 29 the Arabians competed in a tournament with some fierce competition. The girls went 3-3 beating out Holy Cross, John Paul II and Kerville Tivy and losing to La Vernia, Antonian and Laredo United.

“Last weekend was a learning experience for our team,” Alvarez said. “We are looking forward to getting better and playing out the rest of the season as a team.”
