Softball: Westerville Central Warhawks working to reach 2019 level
ThisWeek group
Despite losing the nucleus of a team that advanced to a Division I state semifinal in 2019, Westerville Central softball coach Brian Wamsley believes his players have the potential to make another state tournament run.
Making their first state appearance, the Warhawks lost 4-3 to Liberty Township Lakota East to finish 28-3.
Central again had high hopes last spring, but the season was canceled because of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
“I really feel like we had a golden opportunity to get back to where we were and hopefully beyond,” said Wamsley, who is in his 11th season. “I’m not saying we can’t do that this year, because I think we can, but we’ve lost a lot of kids in the last two years who are pretty good ballplayers.”
