Seneca Valley softball building momentum
JACKSON TWP — Just a few months ago, George Trew spoke about the hopes he had for his Seneca Valley softball team in 2017.
“I remember talking to (public address announcer) John Fetchko before the season started,” said Trew. “He asked me what I thought of the team and I told him we had a chance of doing something really good this season.”
It may have sounded like cautious optimism at the time, but the Raiders now have the look of a team capable of playing deep into the spring.
Seneca Valley capped its section slate with a 16-0 home win over Butler Thursday afternoon. The Raiders (13-4, 9-1) had already clinched the Section 3-6A title outright, the program's first uncontested section crown since 1999.
“We got off to a slow start,” admitted Trew of the season, “but we beat North Hills in our first section game and that got us rolling. We had that one loss to North Allegheny (5-1 on April 11) and I'm still mad about that one. It kept us from being 10-0 in the section.”
