The Hornets representing the Ridge and Valley Conference was Zika Steuben, his coach by Dustin Smith.
I have a couple of returning All-State players from the previous year, Isabella Bunders and Brianna Ray.
Isabella is a senior this year and she will be my senior shortstop.
And then Bri, like I said, she was All-State from a year before.
She is my pitcher and also my third baseman.
But there are also many other contributing girls on our team that are eager.
and ready to, uh, you know, start to carve out a name for themselves too.
You matched up with original center a year ago.
Uh, what do you expect from them knowing a little bit about them going into this year?
Um, well, I, um, last year, um, they were on the up and up and I don't think that they were going to surprise any teams this year.
Everyone knows what caliber of team they are, especially with, uh, the Fisher girl taking the center circle.
I believe she's a sophomore this year.
So I can only imagine.
that she's gotten better from the previous year.
Needs for improvement for this year's Wazika team.
Reps and just playing time out on the field.
We have a lot of returning girls from the previous year, but we have also lost many contributing seniors from graduation, so there are going to be some of these girls that are very inexperienced.
I think getting them out in the field, repetitions, going through situations, you know, things like that, that way they feel comfortable and ready to, you know, contribute.
Thanks for joining us today, Dustin.
All right.
Thank you so very much, Phil, for having me and best of luck this season.

Coach Jamie Gander joins us.
Jamie, what have you liked about practice for a couple of weeks?
What have you seen from the Hornets?
Well, good attitudes, a lot of hard work.
It's been tough getting in some good practices, I guess we call them because there's just been, you know, that big snowstorm last weekend and we missed practice Monday.
That was one of our days we were scheduled to be in in the morning and the afternoon.
We had to delay our scrimmage with Ithaca the Monday night just because of that because we originally had it planned for Saturday.
They didn't have enough practices and per WIA the scrimmage.
And then again with Tuesday nights game scheduled with the Dells, we had to move that back too.
So looks like we're good to go with practices for the game against Wasika.
And we should be able to keep moving forward.
It was nice to get outside.
I felt last night was probably our best practice of the season so far because we were able to get down on
our field and just do what kind of pick up and do what we were doing at the end of last season.
They gained a lot of momentum at the end of last year had a had a good finish but you kind of you got to keep building on that don't
you.
Yeah and I think that's part of the problem you know there's a lot of expectations now with the coaching staff the girls and I'm sure even the community members but you know I'm fairly new to this yet but you know just seeing the my first year of
turning through with the seniors that were there last year, which is so good.
And they were such, you know, just good leaders and they just were so smart and, you know, kudos to Dave Darling.
He, uh, coached those girls growing up and he's there with us again this year.
But, uh, you know, like I said, I think we're going to be fine.
And I think it's going to take some time to just get those reps in and figure out, we're still figuring out some positions.
And once we do, I think we'll be okay.
An important game Thursday to get in here against was he could stupid?
Do you know anything about them?
Well, last year they beat,
down there.
It was a really wet night.
That was kind of stepping stone, I think for us that last year.
That's when things started clicking.
And I think if you look back at our record after that loss, we really went on a roll.

The Hornets have taken the field and will give you the starting line-ups here.
The Hornets trying to capture some of the excitement momentum they had last year as they made it to the sectional final.
What a run that was.
And coming out now, several of those players that were integral parts of last year's team.
Starting defensively tonight for the Hornets, Kyrie Fisher in the circle, beginning her sophomore season.
JC Gander is the catcher at First Base, Ella Karen.
Aubrey Colestead is at second.
Also, Ella Clements is the shortstop, and Morgan Clippy is playing third base.
In left field, Tatum Raisick, Centerfield, Reagan Schep, and the right fielder is Ava Martin.
Batting for Wazika Steuben, senior Allstate player Isabella Bunder, the shortstop, Stella Walz in Centerfield, batting number two, Brianna Ray also Allstate a year ago, and starting in the circle this afternoon, hitting third.
Elise Sims at first base, hitting cleanup.
Avery Kilburg, the right fielder, bats fifth.
Abby Wright, the catcher, hits number six.
Alaina Creechy, at third base, batting seventh, hitting eighth.
Madison Shembo, at second base.
And the left fielder is Alexa Martin, and she is batting number nine.
Those are the starters for these teams tonight.
Getting underway with zero and zero records.
Getting the season started here.
There are several other games.
They're kind of playing through the mud as well just to get things started and get some reps.
That's the main thing.
Kyrie Fisher in the circle to get the season started.
Gander behind the plate and here we go.
First pitch of the season as Bunder stands in and the pitch is taken just a bit low.
One ball and no strikes.
Our arbiters tonight, Brian Elvin behind the plate, Craig Rasmussen on the bases here tonight, and getting ready for a busy season for those gentlemen as well.
Here's the pitch.
That one is taken inside for ball two.
Two or nothing to unders.
A little bit of a breeze blowing out toward left center.
Nothing that will affect the ball tonight.
A little bit of a water pond behind second base and behind the pitcher's mound.
There's strike one, and the count goes to two and one.
Probably the main concern is just trying to keep everybody healthy tonight, and hopefully the timing gets a little better as action continues here tonight.
Two and one, here's the pitch, swing and a miss, and the count is even quickly.
Two balls and two strikes.
So Fisher stepping out, taking a little bit of a turn and getting back to the rubber.
But be in a little bit more shallow at third base or the Hornets softball team and here comes the two and two offering There's the pitch popped up this way and out of play.
I Don't know if my weather pot is insured if the ball hits it first of the ball hits it'll probably hit my head too.
So anyway Might wake me up We don't go for style points on a day like this
Here comes the next pitch swing and a miss and there is one away What up one down in the Hornets line it against the Hornets?
First strikeout for Kyrie Fisher.
She needs ten more to catch Jacob Mizorowski at opening day He had 11 today for the Brewers in five innings.
That's pretty good.
Pretty good Here's fellow walls the pitch swing and a miss Nothing in one
She'll clean the cleats and step out.
Check in with her coach.
And now back in from the right side.
Fisher in motion.
Rocks and fires.
Swing and a miss.
Strike two.
Nothing in two to the hitter.
Brewers, by the way, 14 to two winners in the opener against the White Sox.
Big day today.
Lots of fun.
Oh, two offering, and the pitch batters squared, brought the bat back, and it is going to be a ball.
One ball and two strikes.
And field drawn in a little bit.
Ball is not going to roll quite as briskly as it will other days.
Lucky to be playing.
Think about eight or nine inches of snow a week and a half ago.
Pitch down to the dirt.
and the count even now at two balls and two strikes.
The ground getting settled in and getting ready.
You'll get better each and every day, but when they schedule games in March, it's always kind of frosting on the cake if you can actually get them in.
2-2 offering, that one swung on and missed, and there are two gone here in the opening inning, where was Zika Steuben.
And the hitter, Brianna Ray, will start in the circle tonight.
Orts have a couple of players that will be their lead pitchers this year.
So that is a really good thing to have, good asset.
Here's the pitch to Ray.
She'll take a look at his strike.
Nothing in one.
Brianna stepping back.
Elise Sims in the hitter circle for the Orts in the opening inning.
Kyrie Fisher into the motion, head to the batter.
With the O1, swung on and fell back up onto the grassy hill.
Two strikes, up in the mezzanine seats.
A lot of Hornet fans will sit close proximity to the concession stand, which is open today.
I didn't know whether they would open or not for the opening game, but yeah, they're here.
Serving up some big cookies.
Other stuff, O2.
Here's the pitch.
Swing, Yanomis.
Drop by the catcher, Gander throws to first, Karen on the other end, hauls it in and that's a strike out, that's out number three.
That will do it for the Hornets, no runs, no hits, no errors.
Not left on after half inning of play
here
in softball.

Brianna Ray ready for the first pitch.
Abby right behind the plate for the Hornets.
Some was he could do it and there's a swinging strike.
Nothing in one.
Ray with a off-speed pitch.
We're pitch number one.
Ella trying to make contact with that one.
And Ray is set to rock and fire.
First of all, steps off the mound.
Making sure she has the signs all correct.
Looks at a wrist and ready to go.
Oh one offering here's the pitch.
That is just a little bit outside one ball at one strike But the rest of the was he could stupid defense in just a moment Bridget Valley should be very competitive and softball this year Here comes the one-one offering change up swing in a miss and the count is one ball with two strikes
Ithaca, of course, making a run to state last year, looking to be back and do well, and they'll get some competition every night.
One ball and two strikes.
Look forward to seeing the Bulldogs a little bit later on this spring as well.
Pitch is upstairs for a ball.
Two balls and two strikes.
I was looking at Ithaca schedule.
It seems like they are on the road a lot to begin first part of the season.
Some teams
Do that.
That was maybe a little bit better.
You got a chance to have some home games when the weather's a little bit better.
Fitch is down low, ball three now to Ella Clements.
Count is now work full.
Brianna Ray looking for the range here on the Hornets' lead off hitter.
Little count offering, and the Fitch ripped in the air behind second.
Center field coming on, coming on, and Kent makes the play.
Getting around first is Clementshow Hall there.
And she is on.
Horace, you have their base runner.
So the batter will be Reagan Schipp playing center field.
Good at that for Ella Clements.
Three, two, count.
And then put the ball in play, made contact with it.
The whole key, if you can do that.
And the whole key in softball, of course, is having a pitcher that takes away a lot of the pressure from the defense.
So it's a chopper towards second.
Mishandled and it's going to be bottled and everybody is safe.
So the Hornets have two aboard now in the opening inning.
And the batter will be Kyrie Fisher.
Fisher's pitching a year ago as a freshman really, I think, overshadowed her hitting because she had some big clutch hits for the Hornets as well.
And hit for some power.
Coming on now to hit for the first time in the 26th campaign here.
Time is called and she is ready Ray set to go runners at one and two this one hit off the handles shallow right field coming on the right fielder second makes the call and the catch Madison Shambo with the throw gets it back to first base and It is not in time Kind of caught Reagan a couple of steps off of first base made a nice throw to first.
She is safe There is one away as Fisher goes down and the batter will be
Jaycee Gander, the catcher.
The catcher spot, one of the Hornets' question marks after graduation.
There's a rip to center and deep.
This one way back there.
It hits off the bottom of the fence.
Clarence is going to score.
Reagan, Shep coming to third, being waved and Schill score.
That's a double for Jaycee Gander.
Two, nothing.
Richland center.
Boy, that was a poke here on the opening night of the season.
So two in for the Hornets on one big stroke for JC Gander.
So a two RBI duble and the batter Aubrey Colestead.
Colestead standing in, only one away.
Here's the pitch.
That one is high, one ball and no strikes.
I had started to say before JC Gander interrupted me with a double.
Maddie McGlynn did such a tremendous job for the Hornets as a senior last year's catcher.
Big spot to replace.
Here's a high fly to center.
Center fielder coming on and makes the graph.
Running play and there are two away.
Thing that people have to remember here in these opening games is these players have not had a lot of time outside to field fly balls or ground balls or anything.
So it's kind of somewhat of a
Chance to get some reps in.
There's a swing and a miss.
Nothing at one to Tatum raising.
Runner remains at second base.
There are two away and two out.
Two out, I should say, and one on board.
Gander remains at second base.
Here's the pitch.
Strike call.
Nothing in two to Tatum.
Batter number six for Richland Center.
Time is called.
Now, Razik back in.
The O2 swing and a foul off the handles this way against the screen.
And they will try again.
Razik playing left field.
Played kind of a utility role a year ago for the Horts.
Here comes the next pitch.
Off speed, off the handles.
It stays fair at third base side and the throw to first, not in time.
They're going to wait and make a play, make a call.
And they're going to call it a foul ball.
Base umpire says it hit her on the ankle or grazed her ankle, so it's called a foul ball.
Otherwise, it would have been an infield single.
So Tatum called back with a bat.
That means J.C.
Gander gets back to second base.
And a new ball coming out for the pitcher.
That's another thing today on a wet day or any wet day.
Somebody has to have the towels out to make sure the ball stays dry.
0-2 offering in the pitch.
Swing and a miss, and there is out number three.
The pitch from Brianna Ray, her first strikeout.
In the inning, the Hornets score twice on one base hit.
There were two errors and one left on.
After one here in Richland Center, Hornets two was Zika Steuben, nothing on WRCO and WRCO.com.

Elise Sims leads off for the Hornets and takes a look at a strike from Hornet Kyrie Fisher.
Top of the second here in Richland Center.
Fill me with you on a Thursday night opening night.
Nothing at one.
Fisher set to work.
Here's the 01.
It's going to be strike two.
Want to give you quickly the word to text him to be a part of the multi-state text-to-win contest from WRC.
A radio this hour's word is bike.
B-I-K-E bike.
As in Henry Bray writes his big wheeler, three wheeler, it's a bike, right?
Something like that, a three wheeler counts as a bike.
Anyway, that's the word to text in through the Civic Media app or through 608-647-4155, the word is bike.
Sims, standing back in here, two strikes from Fisher, and there it is, swing and a miss.
And there are
There is one out and there are four strikeouts so far for Kyrie Fisher.
The batter will be Avery Kilburg.
Oh, it's really turned around after a loss to Ezeka Stubin last year.
In similar circumstances, maybe even a little bit wetter and colder.
Laying down there.
Here's the pitch, swinging and a miss, nothing at one.
And the Hornets played really well.
I believe it was a walk off for Ezeka Stubin.
Both teams, maybe
Struggle a little bit with the conditions, but, uh, Wozika's Tubin won a really nice game in the hole.
It's kind of after that regroup went on a winning streak.
Here's the pitch outside for a ball and the count goes even.
One ball and one strike.

and get to the third.
Hornets of Richland Center leading by a score of two to nothing.
In this game, that wind, which again was really non-existent at the beginning of the game, blowing out toward right field right now.
Pretty heavy.
That would have never affected me as a hitter when blowing out to right field.
I was a dead pull hitter to left field all the times.

Talk about young coaches.
When I first started all those years ago, 1986, a lot of the coaches were in their 40s and 50s, so it was a little intimidating to go and ask for an interview or the lineup or whatever the case might be.
This one upstairs, one ball and one strike, but now it's the other way around.
It's like, you can't tell the players from
the team sometime.
Where's your coach?

Here's the pitcher ripped towards second.
Nice play by Colstead over to first in time.
Two up, two down.
That's the first defensive put out today.
And Aubrey Colstead takes away one who has really hit sharply on the ground.
throws it over to Ella Carams for the out, two up, two down, and that's Breanna Ray coming to the plate for Wazeke Stubin.
Round the line, here comes the pitch, strike one call.
That's a problem with the defense too, when you're defending against or behind a really good pitcher.
Sometimes it's, you kind of like, I don't want to say you go to sleep, you're not used to making plays.
Here's one foul back strike two.
I mean when I played yes went to sleep, but nonetheless you kind of all of a sudden whoop, it's hit to me.

Welcome back to Richland Center High School.
There is a pitching change.
Elena Crachy is now in the circle for Wasika Stubin and Brianna Ray, the previous pitcher, moves to third base.
So Ray with a total of six strikeouts tonight does a good job for her team.
Again, a couple of errors didn't help her out.
Her defense made a couple of errors in the opening inning, but also the Hornets bats came alive with the total of seven hits against her.
And I think just the one walk, yes.
So she leaves after three innings pitched.
Throw down to second base, and the new pitcher, Elena Crachy, will be ready for the two, three, and four batters in the Richland Center order.
Reagan Shep, Kyrie Fisher, and JC Gander.
It's the bottom of the fourth.
Hornets leading by a score of six to nothing here at the Richland Center ball field.
Shepp has scored two runs tonight, has reached on an error and a single.
Rachie with a pitch, inside for a ball.
Alaina with a nice fastball that appears.
Here comes the next wind-up and the pitch, swing and a miss, one-on-one.
Always a good asset for a team if you've got a couple of pitchers, maybe with
Little bit different speeds.
Bring somebody in and kind of have the team a little bit off balance.
Here's the pitch ripped toward right, and that is going to be in there for a base hit.
And it rolls by for a moment.
Now going to second base is Reagan Shepp, throw to second.
She slides again in the mud, and she is safe.
So Reagan Shepp with a base hit.
Holds on.
I mentioned earlier, she was going for the muddiest uniform award.
She's taken the lead, I think.
So one on for Kyrie Fisher.
Fisher, who flew out in the first inning and then singled in two runs and scored a run in the second inning.
His pitch is long.
Getting by the catcher, Shep trying to get the third.
She's down again, sliding safely.
So there is another runner for Richland Center in the scoring position.
We're in the fourth inning.
Fisher with a one ball and no strike count.
Brachy rocks fires.
That one hitter on the ankle and there are two aboard.
But Kyrie takes first.
Shep at third and here comes Jacey Gander who's had a big day.

Kyrie Fisher at third is being held.
Good solid single for JC Gander, three for three today.
Five RBI as well.
Shep coming in.
Get Fisher at third.
Gander at first Aubrey close to the batter the pitch taken high one ball in those strikes don't know it out in this fourth inning We have had a few rare broadcasts And late March through the years here's the pitch upstairs for a ball Sometimes the weather is pretty nice on the last day of March or the last days but Not always today.
I would say pretty typical and as always
If you look at this spring, Wednesday is always the nicest day of the week, and they don't schedule games.
Here's the pitch, but it's foul for strike one, like yesterday, for instance.
And I'm not saying there shouldn't be a family day because that's wonderful, but it always works out that the best day of the week is the day that teams don't play.
Very sunny yesterday and up there in the 60s.
Two balls and a strike to Aubrey Colestad.
Here's the pitch.
Bunted foul.
Dead ball on the third base side.
And the count goes to two and two now to the batter.
Hornets working on some things, trying to bunt that batter over.
Grachy in motion, ready to work.
Here comes the pitch.
Strike three called on the play.
Gander goes to second base, so there is one away.
Runners at.
Second and third.
And Tatum Raisik, the batter.
She is one for two.
Truck out back in the first and singled in the third.
Runners at two and three for the Horns.

She is score to run Standing in with the bases loaded.
Here's the pitch that one is high
One ball and no strikes Took my cue from our good friend Sharon Pansky who used to have a weather pod.
I think it was the first one that I ever saw Little plastic contraption you could fit in here's one fell off One ball and one strike and Sharon would would use it at the football games and I remember the first time I heard somebody say hello to me and I'm like who's that voice coming from if she was
tucked inside.
One ball in one strike here's the pitch down low and it's nice play by the catcher Abby Wright makes a stop making sure that runner stays at third base.
Two balls in one strike.

It is parents night here tonight as well.
I was informed that I thought if they did it, they were going to announce parents before the game.
They're doing it right now.
So parents are being recognized with their daughters here tonight and very nice program before the JV take the field.
So let's recap the game for you.
Kyrie Fisher, starting yourself more season with a perfect five inning outing here against Wasika Steuben.
Strikes out 13.
The defense made a couple of plays tonight.
She actually was one of them that made a defensive play.
The other was a really sharp play by Aubrey Colestad as well.
But 13 strikeouts today on the way to perfection.
And the Hornets backed her up.
10 runs and 10 hits.
Beginning on the top of the order, Ella Clements, one for three with a walk and two scored.
Reagan Shep, two for four with two scored.
Kyrie Fisher is one for two with two scored.
JC Gander, three for three with five RBI and a double.
Other key hits, Tatum Raisik is one for three.
Ella Carons, one for three.
Both Tatum and Ella scored a run.
And RBI for Morgan Cleppy and Eva Martin, one for two with a walk and two RBI.
So everybody that played tonight,
contributed in one way or another.
So, super job tonight by the Hornets on both sides, defense and offense.
The loss goes to Brianna Ray, who worked the first three innings, truck out six, gave up seven hits and walked one, and Alayna Crachey worked the fourth inning for Wasika Steuben.
Hornets get the win here tonight and now prepare for a spring break.
Coming up next week, spring break,
And I believe a choir trip and some things, maybe not too many things scheduled next week.
I know there is a track meet next week, but really going to come back and get to the schedule and be busy the following week, the day after Easter, really gets underway with that first full week of April, and that's when things
We really get heated up for the schedule and the scoring, and I think Ritzel Center girls will have a conference game that week.
I think they and the baseball team both will play River Valley very early in the season to open up conference play.
Thanks to Tim Feed, our engineer back at the studio, and hear more about Hornet Sports, the Ritzel Center track team on the upcoming Dairyland Transportation High School Sports Update.
