DW Combine-Head Coach Carly Benavides is in her fourth year of coaching softball for the Dayton-Waitsburg Wolfpack. She is excited about the turnout this year, especially the number of returning players. She welcomed 23 players: three seniors, six juniors, nine sophomores, and five freshmen.
Benavides said the team has great chemistry and a lot of heart, with veteran players really helping the younger teammates. She foresees a successful season as the returning players strengthen the defense.
Be on the lookout for the three seniors Hendrix Groom, Shaylah King, and Maddi Gallardo to do great things this season, said Benavides. Groom and Gallardo play tough at the infield corners, and King will be a force to be reckoned with in the outfield.
"These three are essential to our unit, and I'm really excited to get this season going," acknowledged Benavides.
Assistant coach Amy Cox and volunteers Zac Fabian and Paul Forney assist Benavides on the field.
