BROOKFIELD, Ohio (WKBN) – Brookfield was turned away by Mathews in the Kinsman District Final, 8-2, last May.
This year, the Warriors will have ten seniors on their roster as many bring much experience back to the diamond in 2023.
“We’ll rely on their leadership, experience and abilities this [spring],” said coach David DeJoy.
The expectations will remain high for a group that advanced to the district title game ten months ago. “We know we’ll face a whole new set of challenges with our move to Division 3,” DeJoy said. “It’s our goal to take on each challenge head-on and give it our best shot.”
Miranda Nicholson is back in the circle as a senior. Last year, she finished with a 12-5 record and struck out 110 batters. Abby DeJoy and Sophia Hook led the team in base hits as juniors.
The Warriors will get into their MVAC schedule with a matchup against Liberty on March 29.
