It’s a busy start to the season for the Emporia High softball team with four games, all on the road, in two days.

EHS will open its season on Thursday at Ottawa for a doubleheader and follow that with a trip to Wichita to face Wichita South on Friday. Emporia High head coach Tommy McClure said one thing he likes about this year’s team is being coachable.

The Lady Spartans return experience in the circle with junior Alivia Barrett. Also returning include seniors Bailey Schlesener and Ryane Howe and juniors Molly Williams, Marley Sewell and Yzabel Ultreras. Barrett said last week’s jamboree at Burlington got her more excited for the season opener.

McClure said the first four games of the season will see where the Lady Spartans are with having over a month of practice.
