New Head Coach Larry Geraldi is very optimistic about this season. The girls have worked together very well and are starting to form a very cohesive unit. The Lady Wildcats are counting on great defense, aggressive base running, and timely hitting. Bethel played in three fall play days and showed improvement each and every time out. The Lady Wildcats lost all of our starting pitchers and catchers from last season but have some excellent prospects that are ready to step up and take their game to the next level.
