Keith Brewer is once again leading Plant City’s Juniors Softball team, and expectations going into tournament play were as high as could be.
“Most of (the girls) played with us last year,” Brewer said. “We already knew what they were, so we worked beyond fundamentals … a lot of them played for coach (John) Demos during the winter league. He brought them back to me ready.”
Between winter league play and traveling with Brewer’s FCA Fire team, plus last year’s PCLL All-Stars experience at the Majors level, the girls of the 2017 Juniors team went in with more than enough experience to serve them now and in the near future.
“I’m going to lose a lot of (the girls) this year, which I hate,” Brewer said. “But I think we’ve prepared them for high school.”
Brewer said that the team’s strong defense, plus improved hitting, could help reach the ultimate goal.
“We’re fixing to go to the state tournament,” he said.
