Call it swagger and it's not a bad thing to have.
The Lyman Bulldogs girls softball team come in with the attitude that they're going to win, every time they step on the field, and coach Gary Hoyt is happy to see it.
"The senior class think their freshman year was not a successful one and yet, we went from 3-17 to 9-12," Hoyt said. "Their attitude was we were only 9-12. We started 17-0 the next year and I told them we weren't going to win them all and they were like 'Why not?'."They've been that way and it's a good thing. They walk on the field expecting to win."
Such as the Bulldogs did on Wednesday as they pounded out 14 hits in a 10-1 win over St. Bernard. Chrissy Bourgoin and Holly Shinkle both homered in the game for the Bulldogs who improved to 8-0 on the season.
