But don’t sleep on SCHS — they have talent to spare and should be more motivated than ever.
Pitching duties will likely continue to be split between the one-two punch of juniors Torie Turner (Maryland commit) and Alyssa Flores (Trinity Valley), both first-team all-district selections who are equally dangerous at the plate.
