The Troy High School softball team has had a rough go since their last win against Thompson Falls in April.
Yet, the Trojan junior varsity team is gaining confidence and showing constant improvement even as the varsity team struggles to find their confidence.
“So far, we’ve played Thompson Falls, Eureka, we played Sandpoint twice and Libby, and we’ve been competitive and close in every game,” Haggerty said of the JV team after they ended 17-10 against Libby’s JV last Tuesday.
The JV Trojans faired much better than their varsity teammates, who fell 15-0 against the varsity Loggers.
Yet, that 15-0 loss was a true varsity game between the two teams, and the final score was one that the Trojan varsity team might have faced against the JV Loggers in the past.
“We just need to get them kind of back on track, and realize the season’s coming to an end quickly,” Haggerty said.
The Trojans’ final home game is Saturday, when they will host Plains at 2 p.m.
