After a restful and wonderful break, we are back at Allegheny to start up our spring semester, filled with classes and softball! Classes started last Wednesday and practice starts next Monday. We are all excited for the transition from conditioning/lifting to practice and improving for the season ahead. It is a very exciting time, after the short fall season and the hard work we put in this winter, to get back to ball and start to mold as team. Although practicing indoor is not as exciting as getting dirty, it is still softball and still thrilling!!
As usual, at the beginning of semesters, there is more free time and less worries. However, as time goes on, that never lasts. That is why softball is such a great time for us; it allows us all to get away from our books and be able to do something that we have loved since we were young. It lets us relax, have fun, and compete which is something that has helped shape who we are today. There is practically nothing I would rather be doing than playing softball.
So, as time draws closer and closer to season starting, I get more and more excited for practices, games, and team bonding. Unfortunately, there is almost three feet of snow on the ground, so practices will be indoors, and the early morning walks will be treacherous, but things like that make it that much more exciting when we do get outside in the sun and dirt!!!!- Rachel Ryan, Senior
