There is one big difference from the 2023 Paradise Honors softball team freshman Olivia Jimenez-Facio and Meghan Stroh joined and the current Panthers team that they lead.
And it was Stroh’s idea. She gave Coach Cristy Waring a list of ground rules she wanted to set for the 2026 team — in May 2025 right after that season ended.
“My favorite this year is not touching any equipment. It’s a senior rule we have,” Stroh said. “These freshmen, I love them. They’re funny and very low key, which I love, because I did not want hyper freshmen at all.”
