Long Beach Poly’s softball team faces the Millikan Ram on May 3. Poly’s team lost against the Millikan Rams by a score of 15-3 on April 10. Last year, the Jackrabbits were able to defeat the Rams once and the Rams were also able to take a victory as well. These back and forth victories have created a potential rivalry between both teams, making this upcoming game very interesting for the Jackrabbits.
This season has been very tumultuous for Jackrabbits, but Coach Elizabeth Sanches is both proud of and thankful for all of her athletes. Coach Sanches says, “I have a great group of girls, they have an accumulative GPA of over 3.5, they get their job done both in the classroom and on the field, and work very hard.” Coach Sanches is also very cognizant of her team’s needs. With 19 players of the roster she makes sure to, “manipulate the line up to get as many girls in as I can each game.”
Coach Sanches is also bringing a new culture to the team. She wants to team to have a strong “fellowship”. “To celebrate the seniors on the team and the sport they all love to play.”
