Jaguar fastpitch season opener is today

Who would have thought only a week ago, or even just earlier this week, that three Jaguars spring sports teams would get the 2011 season out of the starting gates yesterday and today?

Later this afternoon in a 4:00pm game, the Jaguars fastpitch team will open their season with a non-conference game at New London-Spicer. The Wildcats were a force in the West Central North Conference last season, finishing third with an 11-5 league record and 13-7 overall after going 1-1 in the Sub-Section 6AA-West playoffs. They are led by senior pitcher Allison Ruter, who fueled her team to a win at Foley in their season opener yesterday.

The Jaguars were 6-12 overall last season and 1-1 in the playoffs. They will ride the veteran pitching of four-year starter Michelle Sanders this season. She is one of seven returning players from last year, as graduation hit the team hard in 2010.
