Softball has been a part of Maddie Lopez’s life for as long as she can remember. It created a special bond between her and her father as he coached her up through junior high.
After a run to the regional semifinals a season ago, Windthorst looks to keep improving after returning all nine starters from last year’s squad. A young team last year, the Trojanettes are dangerous this year, instilled with a confidence following a deep playoff run.
Windthorst (24-5) earned a share of the district championship before exiting in the bi-district round of the playoffs to Cisco. The Trojanettes have a lot to be optimistic about as Heather Stark’s squad returns all but one player for next season.
Windthorst senior Cooper Wolf is a man of few words but as someone that’s been through the fire with the Trojans, when he talks, his teammates listen. “The thing about Cooper is he’s really quiet,” Trojans head coach Scott Belcher said.
Windthorst senior Marisa Frazier is one of the two remaining players from Alyson Deatherage’s state tournament team in 2019. She’s been through the ups and downs of the seasons and has seen it all on the softball field.
