Welcome back to the Warrior softball season!! It hasn't been an easy pre-season, I can assure you that, but now that the real thing is here I suspect things will move along much smoother.
In the last post, the roster was still being decided. That is still up in the air to a small extent. From last year's 17-1 league championship squad, the Warriors lost six of its eleven regular roster players. That is a lot. While five did carry forward, the remaining balance of the roster had to be filled out.
Initially, the squad received interest from several Rez Life members but unfortunately due to time constraints, language barriers and injury that list dwindled in a hurry. As of now, here are the returning roster members that the team has signed for the season:
1. Austin Colby
2. Eric Johnson
3. Jeff Johnson
4. Adam Hey
5. Jeff Tenney
Along with those five, Lee Valle rejoins the team after a one-year hiatus.
6. Lee Valle
After that, the team had to go hunting for some fresh blood. The team found some with a father-son combination:
7. John Beintema
8. Aaron Beintema
Manager Colby had to work hard on the recruiting trail to land those two and he believes it will pay dividends. Beyond that, Colby had to reach into his bag of goodies to locate a couple more full-time players and two friends of his fit the bill:
9. Bryan Christenen
10. Ryan Norman
That gives the team 10 full-time roster players which means the Warriors will be relying on substitutes a lot. The team has extended an offer to an 11th full-time hopeful and if that pans out, then the squad will most likely have nine regulars at each game which leaves just one spot open for a sub.
It should be another great year for the Warriors. Please click on the roster links to read more about each player. Look for the League Preview coming soon...
