Good Morning,

Softball:

Gila Bend:
It seems that Genesis may end up on the mound. They do have a good 9th grade pitcher with some good pedigree. This youngsters name is Allison Montano. If I remember correctly her brother played at Yavapi and some minor league ball as well. Her arm is sore and not sure when she will be taking over the duties.

Gila Bend New Coach:
Their former coach decided before the season started not to coach so the new coach is Katie Welsh. She will take over the reigns after the 4 year starter Diamond graduated. Life after Diamond may prove to be a tough go for a while.

Drug Testing:
If you know me I am pro-drug testing for athletes as long as it is done correctly. I want to mention that the Gila Bend Board approved 5-0 drug testing for their school! This is a huge accomplishment for their AD and Principal Wirtzberger who is making some huge changes at Gila Bend. Although the complete details have not been put out in detail, this is a huge deal and we congratulate the Gila bend Board for thinking of students and doing what is right.
