ANTHONY WAYNE,...I can't speak to whether or not Kurfis will make varsity or not, however, I can tell you by the Spring she would be ready. I can also tell you, there's not a better Freshman pitcher anywhere in NWO. Anthony Wayne could have as many as 7 pitchers trying out this year. Last year there were only 4. Behind Gill comes Dani Haley and Emily Kurfis. Dani and Emily are both working their tails off. It will also be interesting to see how Westenkirchner develops. This should help Gill be stronger at the end of the season.
NORTHVIEW, I also like Becca Apardian at Northview, what a great kid and hard worker. I am prejudiced towards Aly Matthews because she plays on my summer team, but she is really stepping up the work it takes to be a good pitcher. She's throwing hard, getting her control and is also a sharp little 1st baseman.
BOWLING GREEN,...just don't know where that program is going.
SPRINGFIELD,...Richberg would not be a surprise, she's already got a full year under her belt. Maybe Jess Zappone will make an impact and Krista Haley with quality innings on the mound to supplement Michalak.
PERRYSBURG,....That's the $64,000.00 question, who IS going to be the offensive weapon to replace Hegedus.
SOUTHVIEW,.... had a lefty slapper that lead off for the JV. I thought she was a real sharp ballplayer. I hope she gets a shot at varsity.
MAUMEE,....Henry, no surprise there either, already established. I"ll tell you what a surprise is,..If Maumee can replace Deagle, that will be a surprise.
ROSSFORD,....Maybe they could get a decent field to play on,...SURPRISE !! Maybe Clyde would adopt them, Great Complex !!
