The Chippewa Hills softball team dominated the Central States Athletic Association last year, and with plenty of talent back, the Warriors will be the team to beat once more.
Two seniors, shortstop Teagan Denslow and utility player Taylor Sellers, graduated from last year’s team that won the CSAA with a 17-1 record and finished 22-9 overall. It also won a district title and defeated Fremont in the regional before dropping a 5-4 decision to Escanaba in the regional final.
Pitching will be a strong point this year, as all three pitchers return. They are senior Danielle Eldred and juniors Cassiday Johnson and Kendall Boone.
Senior catcher Lotti Halm also returns, as do Hali Earl, Olivia Wolfe, Brooke Lewandowski, and Kathy McCall.
