March 13, 2023/in Coach's Corner/by Anthony Hartwig

NORTH JACKSON OH- The spring weather is starting to break and we can smell the ball fields in the air. With the softball season approaching it is time to get to some season previews. Our very first one of the season comes straight out of Jackson Milton as the Blue Jays look to build off an impressive season. The Jays like every team in northeast Ohio had to deal with a very wet spring in 2022. They still found a way though to improve greatly on offense, and keep up their dominance in the circle. With still plenty of talent on the pitching staff in 2023, Jackson Milton promises to be a big contender in the MVAC. The Jays open the season March 27th vs Springfield at home.

Mariah Ciccolelli returns to the helm of the team for another fun season. She took some time to talk with YSN’s Anthony Hartwig about what this campaign could look like for Jackson Milton. Check out the first episode of Coach’s Corner with Mariah Ciccolelli only on YSN!
