Lakota softball is looking to make a run in the Sandusky Bay Conference (SBC) River Division this season. The Raiders return six starters, including key players like shortstop Lexi Moon, pitcher/second baseman Emma Jurovcik, and outfielder Chevelle Ruble. Lakota went 14-10 overall and 8-9 in the SBC last year. The team will rely on its pitching duo of Jurovcik and Sophia Bomer, while also getting production from its veteran lineup.
Why it matters
The SBC is a competitive softball conference, with Tiffin Calvert and Gibsonburg tying for the title last season at 15-3. Lakota will need to play at a high level to contend for the conference crown and make a deep postseason run.
The details
Lakota returns six starters from last year's team, including shortstop Lexi Moon, pitcher/second baseman Emma Jurovcik, outfielder Chevelle Ruble, center fielder Jersey Crawford, first baseman and catcher Mya Stoudinger, and second baseman and pitcher Sophia Bomer. The new starters are first baseman Liana Graber, third baseman Aubrianna Wyant, and left fielder Bailynn Keeran. Jurovcik and Bomer will handle the pitching duties, with Jurovcik going 7-7 with a 3.84 ERA and 80 strikeouts last season, while Bomer was 7-3 with a 4.75 ERA and 47 strikeouts.
