Six starters return from two years ago
COLFAX — Colfax softball returns April 13.
The team lost its season last year due to the pandemic and subsequent shutdowns. They are back with new coach Tracy Imler succeeding Michelle Miller.
The 2019 team played at state, losing in the early rounds.
The Bulldogs now return six starters from two years ago, led by seniors Rian Jones at catcher, Perry Imler at third base, Helena Hahn at shortstop, and Anni Cox at second base. Junior pitchers Jorja Koerner and Justice Brown are also back.
“What I’ve seen so far is looking pretty good,” said Coach Imler.
New players expected to contribute are sophomore Harper Booth at third base and catcher, and Delaney Imler, another sophomore, at first base.
The Bulldogs’ first game is April 13 at Asotin, followed by a home game against St. George’s April 17.
A total of 28 players have come out for the team, to field full varsity and junior varsity teams. The abbreviated season runs until May 4, followed by short regional playoffs.
Imler’s background includes coaching in the Colfax Youth League for eight years, as well as involvement in club softball.
