Elyria, OH

Looking at the roster, Elyria Catholic appears to be a young and inexperienced team. Over half of the starting lineup will be underclassmen. A sophomore will be the ace pitcher, a freshman will be catching, another sophomore will replace co-Lorain County Ms. Softball Annika Bredel at shortstop. Although the Panthers are young, they have experience. They do lose Bredel, but will return every other main contributor from last year. For a reminder, EC won 16 games and a conference title a season ago.

Toledo, OH

It’s always exciting for teams when they make a deep postseason run, but the first time doing it stands out most. Avon won its first district title in coach Ken Matuszak’s 25-year tenure last season, and the Eagles made it to a regional final before falling to eventual state runner-up Holland Springfield, 3-2. Not only did Avon make history with its run last season, but the “first” for programs gives confidence to the future teams that it can be done.
