The softball team is competing at districts on April 13, and they currently rank No. 1 in Hillsborough County.

The district tournament will be hosted at Plant this year.

“One of the reasons that our team is successful is because we all get along so well,” Danielle Scott, senior, said.

Plant recently won tournaments in Palm Harbor, Kissimmee, and they had a breast cancer tournament where they raised money for Moffitt Cancer center.

“Our game for breast cancer raised $4706 for Moffitt Cancer Center,” Erin Fields, sophomore, said.

Besides helping Moffitt raise money, the team has been working on their skills constantly.

“We have always been a good defensive team and have struggled offensively but we have improved a lot on both sides,” Fields said.

“Our pitchers have been improving a lot this season as well and keeping us close in games but our biggest weakness is getting distracted when we pull too far ahead in games,” McKenzee Heron, junior, said.

The team won two major tournaments recently. The Breast Cancer game against Riverview High School benefited Moffitt Cancer Center.

“Our biggest strength this season is that our talent is very spread out, we don’t just rely on one or two players every game, it’s a true team effort,” Melissa Sigmon, softball coach, said.
