North Country will take the field with a well-balanced and talented lineup under third-year coach Meredith Chapman. The Saints lineup features a young lineup of three sophomores and eight freshmen. Returning for the Saints this season is Jenny Zagrodzki (Wilmington, NY/Lake Placid), who will split her time between the mound and shortstop. Diane Ralyea (McGraw, NY/McGraw) will call for the majority of pitches from behind the plate. Chelsea Meyer (Pond Eddy, NY/South Seneca) will see action in the outfield.
The freshman will provide a youthful energy and spark to the team. Miranda Typhair (Edwards, NY/Edwards-Knox) 2008 Class D 1st Team All-State selection, will be the ace on the mound; in addition to pitching duties, she will play infield. Cassandra Mitchell (Indian Lake, NY/Indian Lake) will provide experience and leadership to the infield and on the mound, and a strong presence at the plate. Newcomer Marcy Adams (Lisbon, NY/Lisbon) is the speed demon of the class of 2010, she supplies a much necessary bat and some spectacular plays in centerfield. Sharing the duties of the right side of the infield will be Tonya Forward (Morrisville, NY/Morrisville-Eaton), and Ashley Ehrenborg (Middletown, NY/Minisink Valley) who will provide a quick bat and much needed speed on the base paths. Brittany Jones (Golden, BC/Golden HS) is new to the game but enthusiastic and improving her skills each day, earning the respect of her teammates and playing time in the field as well. Rounding out the freshman class Grace Martin (Newton Falls, NY/Clifton-Fine) and Samantha Kaschel (Kingston, NY/ Kingston) will tandem majority of playing time in the outfield.
