The Atoka Lady Cats Softball season is in full SWING! The season is halfway through, so make sure to come out and support our team soon! I interviewed Coach Cook, and he shared that the team has about 10 games left in addition to playoff games. He also shared that this year’s team has a chance to exceed last year’s win total.

When asked about the team’s strengths and weaknesses, Coach Cook said “As weird as it sounds, our weakness is our strength.” He explained this by telling that the team is very young this year, and the group of girls starting includes 5 freshmen. “Our youth is our strength as well as having a good senior leader. Our weakness is that we are young and new to different positions the girls are having to learn how to play.”

Kyleigh Ritchie is the team’s only senior and, when asked what advice she has to offer for this year’s team as well as upcoming athletes, she said “Do your best and actually work hard in two-a-days.” The schedule for the rest of the games is below, so make sure to come out and support our Atoka Lady Cats softball team!
