Paul Laurence Dunbar

Coach: Mike Wainscott (15th year)

Last year: 15-17 (lost to Madison Central in first round of regional tournament)

Top players: Kaitlyn Elias (jr., cf); Kaylie Zander (so., p); Shelby Shanks (fr., p); Rachel Ferguson (so., ss); Stephanie Harvey (fr., c); Emily Norton (jr., p).

Outlook: The Lady Bulldogs will be young, with no seniors and only three juniors. Wainscott says his team should be fairly solid on defense, and is planning on having a competitive offense when tournament time arrives. Elias batted .393 last season, Harvey .303 and Shanks .287. On the mound, Zander won 14 games with a 4.18 ERA as an eighth-grader. Shanks had a 3.39 ERA.
