New-look GSL softball hits the field this spring

It’s a whole new look for the Glencoe-Silver Lake softball team this spring. After mass graduations following last year’s loss to Holy Family in the opening round of sectional play, there are abundant opportunities this season for those that have worked their way up through the ranks.

“It’s a good group of kids,” coach Steve Davis said. “We are young. Lost a lot of players from last season and we are starting out with almost an entirely new group.”

After four full weeks of practices, the Panthers were fully ready to hit the field to compete as the season opened on Tuesday, April 11, after the Chronicle went to press.

Of the planned opening day lineup of Brianna Wraspir at pitcher, Kasidy Cacka at catcher, Kaitlyn Uecker at first, Kylie Ness at third, Lexi Hansch at short, Morgan Mathews at second, as well as the trio of Molli Cacka, Jess Lemke and Sam Voigt in the outfield, only Lemke, Mathews and the latter Cacka return open play with much in the way of previous consistent varsity experience.

“We’re just trying to find the best combination,”Davis said. “We’ve done well in scrimmages, but we’ll see what we’ve got now that we’re playing games for real.”
