An eighth-grader at Muirlands Middle School, Kyra Ferenzy, and others look to be additions to La Jolla High's softball team next year.
The Vikings' 5-7 record in the Western League, 14-15 overall, in the just-completed season, obscures the fact that the team now enters any game with the ability and confidence to win. Formerly, with last year's three-win team, La Jolla usually didn't have a chance from the first pitch.
Ferenzy, who pitches in travel ball for Power Surge Nava 2001, could fill the vacancy left by graduating senior Katja Sarain, who pitched all four years of high school for the Vikings.
Yarelly Gonzales, a catcher on the junior varsity, could replace Stephanie Alvarez, the other graduating senior and co-captain, behind the plate. Gonzales is said to be "pretty good", as well.
There are other present LJHS students and Muirlands students who may join the vastly improved varsity for 2015-16.
The Vikings have most of their infield anchored down, with Josie Sinkeldam at shortstop, Linda Brown at third base, and Emily Alvarez at first base. Two of the three spots in the outfield look fairly solid, in left and center field.
Sinkeldam and Emily Alvarez will be sophomores next year, Brown a junior.
