Reloading is the way Head Softball Coach Dustin Wengert likes to say it, and he hopes that this group will bring more to SCC Softball than just wins. "This group has everything they need to be successful on the field, but what could set this group apart from others is their work ethic and tenacity to do the little things", speaks Wengert. This group comes from five states (Missouri, Illinois, Oklahoma, Texas and Tennessee), which proves again Wengert's ability to recruit not just locally but regionally as well. Welcome to the follwoing group...
