Softball: Teams to watch in southern Maine
From three-time defending Class A champ Scarborough to tiny Sacopee Valley, these are softball teams to watch this spring.
Michael G. Seamans/Morning Sentinel
1. Scarborough: For the first time in forever, Coach Tom Griffin doesn’t have a pitcher returning with an inning of varsity experience. But if there’s a team that can overcome that inexperience, it’s the Red Storm, who have won 60 consecutive games and the last three Class A state championships. Senior catcher Sylvia Foley (.435), senior shortstop Mollie Verreault (.354, 20 runs), junior utility player Katie Roy (.537, 18 RBI, SMAA second team pick) and junior first baseman A.J. Swett (.373, 15 RBI) lead the offense.

Emily Antrim, Massabesic junior pitcher: After sharing pitching duties in 2019, when she went 4-1 with a save and a 3.73 ERA, Antrim will be the No. 1 pitcher. She also hit .455 in the cleanup spot.
Chantelle Bouchard, Biddeford junior catcher: Recovering from a knee injury, she is expected back later this spring. In 2019, Bouchard batted .458 with eight doubles, six home runs and 29 RBI.
Elly Bourgoine, York junior infield/outfield: Bourgoine had some key hits for the Wildcats in their 2019 run to the Class B state title game, and she’ll ignite the offense from the leadoff spot.
