Lady sheiks lost the game against the Belmont Sentinels last Tuesday night.
They defeated the Robert F. Kennedy game by 28-16 Thursday, April 10th. Tension was in air after the game stirring hope that the team will win against Belmont on April 22.
“For the Robert F. Kennedy game we were challenged and were missing 5 people.” said Coach Louis Herron
“I’m feeling confident that both JV and Varsity are going to win the next game against Belmont. We practice everyday and we work as a team so that really helps.” said Clemencia Solis, SAS sophomore.
In the beginning of the game against Robert F. Kennedy, the Lady Sheiks were at a bad start but then Coach Louis Herron told the team to take bases one by one which gave them a big lead.
“The season so far is going well and I’m ready to get a lot of wins,” said Itzel Corona, SAS sophomore.
Lady Sheiks have a total of six wins and five losses. Coach Louis Herron has been preparing the team intensely.
Despite practicing without a field, the team still manages to travel to local parks and fields to get the proper training.
“We are doing pretty good knowing there’s a new coach and staff, new philosophy. We are compounded of not of not crying or whining about having no field. We don’t make excuses of having no field.” said Coach Louis Herron
Lady sheiks were defeated by Marquez’s lady gladiators 7-2 April 4. Tension was in air after the game stirring hope that the team will win against Contreras on April 8.
Coach Louis Herron said, “ It was a defensive game and we broke through.”
Many players unfortunately did not met the requirements to play cutting the amount of players the team has. If the team has even more of a greater cut, they may not be a full team for either Varsity or Junior Varsity.
“Although the field isn’t ready, we still find other places to practice. I feel like we improve in every practice and we feel confident that we will win every other game we have.” said Clemencia Solis.
Luckily the team has not dealt with many injuries this season and expect keeping it that way.
