Every day, every hour, every minute that passes, history is made. This spring season, Bowie’s softball team is making history. This is the first team that has gone undefeated in districts in a long time.

The Bowie softball team has been putting in a lot of time and hard work in order to be the best they can be.

“I believe it boils down to the biggest factor that contributes to success: practice, time, and reps,” junior Alex McLennan said. “Ultimately hard work outside of games, transfers over into pressuring situations.”

All the work that they do on the field contributes to improvement in skill and capability. However, success is not limited to practice and physical capacity. It takes a good relationship with the team and coaches to strive.

“I feel like our success stems from our work ethic and heart,” McLennan said. “This team wants to succeed and works hard to ensure that. We definitely possess chemistry and good communication.”

A good relationship with your team is crucial for understanding each other on and off the field. Having a good relationship with your coaches is also very important and it’s something the Bowie team tries to make sure the have.

“I have really good relationship with my coaches,” junior Kaley Farnish said. “I can go to them with my problems and it helps on the field because I can trust them when they tell me to do something.”

Keeping your objectives in sight is necessary for a prosperous season in any sport. The girls on the Bowie team never stray from the margin in order to meet their goals.

“I stay focused on my goal, to win every game when I step up on the mound,” McLennan said. “The last district win gaining us that championship and hopefully state title is what pushes me everyday and fuels me to work hard every time I’m at bat or every pitch I throw.”

This teams dedication is unmatched. They spend loads of their time practicing to improve and bonding to enhance their communication.

“The girls put in a lot of effort to be successful,” coach Liz Wissel said. “It’s their perseverance that has led them to achieve all these wins.”

The team is doing everything they are capable of so that they can make it far this season. They all have the same goal of making it far.

“As a team, we want to achieve more wins and we communicate with each other on the field at all times,” Farnish said.

The team continues to put forth effort to secure wins throughout the rest of the season. They are working to make it to districts and then playoffs. Their current record is 10-0 and hopefully, by the end of the season, they will remain undefeated.

“We will continue pushing until we secure our title,” McLennan said.
