Kristen Duross and Lindsay Tibbetts were hired to coach the softball teams at Cape Elizabeth High and Sanford High, respectively, before the 2020 spring season.
The coronavirus pandemic, of course, shut down the 2020 softball season. Now teams are back in the dugouts, and Cape Elizabeth and Sanford are off to fast starts. Both the Capers, in Class B South, and the Spartans, in Class A South, are off to 5-0 starts, each team using a potent hitting attack and quality pitching.
