Wingspan: What has been your favorite part of the season?
Dehnisch: “My favorite part has been beating wakeland. It meant so much because we haven’t beat Wakeland for 7 years.”
Wingspan: What has been the biggest challenge this season?
Dehnisch: “The biggest challenge has been adapting to our new style of play. Last year we could hit really well, however with a lot of our seniors graduating last year we had to change to more of a small ball team. We really had to embrace the underdog role, and I think we have done a really good job of that so far.”
Wingspan: What’s your team’s greatest strength?
Dehnisch: “Our greatest strength is definitely our baserunning. We do a really good job of stealing bases and finding ways to sneak an extra bag.”
Wingspan:What advice would you give to underclassmen on the team?
Dehnisch: “Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Give 100% all the time and coaches will notice.”
Wingspan: What are your goals for next year?
Dehnisch: “I think we have a really good shot at winning districts next year. I really like who we have coming back and I think we can still be really good.”
Wingspan: Who is your biggest inspiration?
Dehnisch: “It’s probably my dad. He’s such a good role model and he’s exactly the type of person I wanna be when I’m older. He works so hard in everything he does and he impacts so many people.”
