VHS Spring Sports Report
Softball – The Lady Loggers are off to
a very good start to this new season and
should be one of the favorites to win
Special District 1.
Sara Smith
Vernonia started off the season
going 2-1 at the Seaside Tournament,
falling to Astoria 10-8 before beating
Warrenton/Jewell 14-1 and Woodburn
15-5. The Lady Loggers kicked off
league play by demolishing Nestucca
in three games, 26-4, 32-0 and 31-1 and
also beat Colton 16-6 in a non league
match up and then beat Delphian 26-0 in
a league game on Tuesday, April
5.
The Lady Loggers are loaded
with talent and experience this
season with seniors Kassidy
Fetch, Paige Smith and Sara
Smith, leading the way. Fetch,
an All State selection last year,
will handle most of the pitching
duties. Sara Smith, also an All
State selection last year, is playing
with a serious knee injury, but is
playing first base and still hitting
the ball well; she already has
several home runs this season.
Junior Payton Wolf is also
carrying a big bat for the Loggers
and helps anchor the infield at second
base. Sophomore Allegra Poetter,
another All State pick from last year
will play at third base and also do some
catching and is another big bat in the
lineup. Freshman Joyce Everett
will do some pitching and will
play wherever needed in the
field. Junior Cassidy Whitton
and Pearl Cook will also play
important roles.
The Lady Loggers have
upcoming home games against
Neah-Kah-Nie on April 12 and
a double header against Gaston
on Friday, April 22.
Baseball – The Loggers look
like they might put together a
good season this year. With a
6-1 record to start the season,
the Loggers look like they could battle
Knappa for the Special District 1 title
this year.
