Both the baseball and softball teams at Camp Verde High School begin preparing for the May postseason Thursday, Feb. 26, at two three-day preseason tournaments.
Driving head coach Will Davis’ emerging Cowboys baseball team is a return to the state tournament. CVHS hadn’t missed it for 12 seasons until last spring, in which it won just five games.
“We have a legitimate shot,” Davis said. “We have two front-line starters, which is what it takes in high school baseball to win games and make a playoff run.”
In softball, head coach Henry Smith has a deficit he can’t make up, as senior Danya Weir was lost for the season in January after a rodeo horse fell on her leg and broke it.
