As the season changes and spring rolls around here at CCA, new athletic seasons also come into play. The Varsity Baseball and Softball teams both have exceptionally skilled lineups, creating diverse, talented and champion inclined teams.
The baseball team begins this new season with high hopes for a long run, and even a shot at a state title. Coach Mucerino described the talent of his team this year as very strong with multiple strengths for every position, including a strong group of pitchers, while “every player on the team has the ability to put up three hits a game.” The strengths were shown in the Eagles’ first game of the year as they grabbed an easy victory in the Coral Springs High tournament, leading to a quick 3-0 start for the season. The Eagles defeated Coral Springs 6-5 in 10 innings earning their third win. “The fast start to the season does not give this team any sense of comfort, we know there is still plenty of work to be done and our schedule only gets harder,” said Mucerino as he talked about the beginning of this season. However, one thing is for sure, the Eagles will definitely be able to handle the strength of schedule and have a legitimate shot at prevailing into the post-season.
Looking at the Varsity Softball team, they too have the assets and credentials to succeed this season. “Our strength would definitely be our pitching, while our other players have the ability to play the field and contribute to a win,” remarked Coach Schoonover, as he related to his team’s goals for the year. “Our team goal this year will be to win the district championship and make it through 2 rounds of regional play.”
Both of these teams have the opportunity to succeed. “With some hard work and solid performances from our guys we can do it,” said Coach Mucerino. There is no reason why the bar should not be set at the top for both teams, as the hopes are high for a very remarkable and memorable year in baseball.
