It was only a couple of years ago that JF Webb had no softball team. Covid and a lack players meant the program had become dormant. That has all changed with Corey Hammett. Last year she brought the program back and took the Warriors into the state playoffs. Hammett sees more success this year for JF Webb. “We should be a top three team in the conference,” she said on Thursday’s SportsTalk. There are still challenges for Hammett. “Our biggest challenges are getting girls interested and teaching the fundamentals,” Hammett explained.
She also had to overcome field problems since it had not been used in some time. This year, the field is once again an issue. Not because of non-use but rain. The team has had several games rained out the wet field has meant they have only been able to get in two games, both losses, to Oxford Prep. Hammett said she hopes to get the Warriors back on the field on the road against Riverside Monday night.
