Cougars' head coach Jenn Beckmann and assistant coach Michelle Patrico welcomed Fredericktown senior Bridget Algier, Van Far senior Lindsie Baumbach, Fort Zumwalt East senior Anna Bowden, Belton senior Tasha Carlew, Blue Valley West senior Allison Landry and Warrenton senior Lindsey Mauch in their recent visit to the SCC campus. Altogether, the team added three potential pitchers, two catchers and an outfielder, with a couple players who can play infield as well.

“We really focused on getting pitching this year, as well as adding strong hitters,” Beckmann said. “They are all hard working girls and I look forward to coaching them.”
