Strength of the team: “We have the same core to our field and line up as last year. I am very excited to pick up where we left off,” Bacsik said. “We had the most competitive season PV softball has seen in a very long time. 2 of our 6 losses were in the state semifinals and county quarterfinals and another 1 to the county champions. The players work so well together and have great team chemistry. They are willing to do what it takes for the team to win.”
Outlook on the season: “I am confident that this is the year we win our league and have faith that we will go as far, if not further, in both the state and county tournaments this season.”
Coach’s comment: “Looking forward to a great season with an excellent group of athletes! We are also starting a charity tournament this year for the American Cancer Society for our game against Pascack Hills. It will be on Saturday April 11 and I hope everyone can come out and support a great cause and watch a great game. This year the game will be played at Pascack Valley.”
