All Stars who will be competing against Ohio on Saturday in the 77th annual OVAC Rudy Mumley All-Star Football Game presented by Huntington Bank at 7:15 p.m. ”We have a good team to go far this year.Pictured are the W.Va. “We have a lot of young talented girls this year, and we need this competition to prepare us for tournament play,” Triplett said. Sophomores Peyton Mischel and Ava Peterman add to the pitching depth behind Walters and Staffan and can contribute in the batting order, and freshman second baseman Aubrey Del Cecato saved a run Friday with a hustle play on a blooper behind first base. Juniors Emily Yanczura in right field and Makayla Fain, who is doing all of the catching with freshman Addy Zak out injured, also saw action during the run to the state tournament two years ago. “Games like this in a row gives the younger girls a great opportunity to show what they can do and contribute to the team,” Staffan said. The Johnnies will test their young players down the stretch, too, when Heath, Fredericktown, which beat the Johnnies in a district final last season, Licking Heights and Newark Catholic fill the final week of the regular season in early May. Indian Valley’s loss Thursday was at the Wendy’s Classic in Ashland, and the Johnnies were scheduled for two more games in Ashland on Saturday. This weekend’s schedule is a bit of a dry run for the caliber of play Johnstown will encounter during the postseason. Our hitting is off the charts this season. “As a whole, we are a little slow in the beginning, but we pick it up,” Staffan said. The Johnnies (11-2, 7-1) have had a knack for wearing down opponents this season, but they jumped on Lakewood junior Dani Stewart from the start. Staffan’s rocket up the middle that kept rising gave a jolt to a powerful offense that often has taken its time getting from 0 to 60 mph this season. I want to get on base because I trust them so much to get me in.” “I am really proud of myself, but it comes from my teammates,” Triplett said. The Johnnies’ leadoff batter often has been setting the table and clearing it with one mighty swing. Triplett has been on quite a power surge of late, hitting four home runs in a doubleheader sweep of Pickerington Central in April 15 and adding two more in the following victory against Newark Catholic.
