Bainbridge

Head coach: Jessica Bratonia

2023 Record: 1-14

Key Returners: Junior Sofia Peato and Sophomore Rollins Anderson

2023 Record: 25-0

Key Returners: Senior Cerenity Fake and Junior Reese Anderson

Kingston

Head coach: Brenda George

2023 Record: 11-11

Key Returners: Senior Jayla Moon and Junior Tegan Stanford

Outlook: Even though Kingston finished fifth in the Olympic League, the Bucs squad was a very strong team. The Bucs began the season 6-0 and earned its first district playoff win in nearly a decade. Since most players return, the Bucs should have similar success.

Head coach: Bob Lawrence

2023 Record: 13-10

Key Returners: Seniors Kamdyn Haggerty, Ryleigh Wotzka, Elle Ecklund and Shelby Avery

Bremerton

Head coach: Andrea Cochran

2023 Record: 2-14

Key Returners: Seniors Attianna Cabato and Bridget Powell

Olympic

Head coach: Chuck Stark

2023 Record: 16-11

Key Returners: Junior Brenda Morrison

Schedule: Mar. 8, 4:15 pm vs. Central Kitsap; Mar. 12, 4 pm at Edmonds-Woodway; Mar. 16, 1 pm at Ridgefield; Mar. 19, 4:15 pm vs. North Kitsap; Mar. 21, 4:15 pm at Kingston; Mar. 22, 4:15 pm vs. Mountlake Terrace; Mar. 26, 4:15 pm at Port Angeles; Mar. 28, 4:15 pm vs. Bremerton; Apr. 9, 4:15 pm at North Mason; Apr. 11, 4:15 pm vs. Sequim; Apr. 16, 4:15 pm at Bainbridge; Apr. 18, 4:15 pm at North Kitsap; Apr. 19, 4:30 pm at Shelton; Apr. 23, 4:15 pm vs. Kingston; Apr. 25, 4:15 pm vs. Port Angeles; Apr. 30, 4:15 pm at Bremerton; May 2, 4:15 pm vs. North Mason; May 7, 4:15 pm at Sequim; May 10, 4:15 pm vs. Bainbridge; May 13, 4:15 pm at Central Kitsap

Central Kitsap

Head coach: Courtney Cotter

2023 Record: 6-13

Key Returners: Senior Kai Camacho

Outlook: CentralKitsap was the second-lowest-scoring team in the South Sound Conference last season with 113 runs. If the Cougars want more success, their younger players must step up at the plate.

Head coach: Meika Hall

2023 Record: 14-7

Key Returners: Seniors Riley Carter and Bailey Watland

Outlook: Klahowya finished second in the Nisqually League and scored an average of over 10 runs per game. If the Eagles can keep their offense rolling with a solid defense, they can make a run in the postseason.
