Early softball, baseball thoughts

Hello bloggers.
Area high school softball and baseball seasons kicked into full gear this week and there have been a couple of surprises out of the gate.
In baseball, Eisenhower, which graduated many of its top players a year ago, seems to have filled the voids with solid young players.
I saw the Eagles against Lutheran North and Ford II, and in both games Eisenhower has played solid defense, good pitching and timely hitting, including three home runs against the Falcons.
Many may have thought the Eagles would take a step back this season playing in the always tough MAC Red Division. However, if they can stay healthy and continue playing solid defense, this team should be one of the team's battling near the top for a division title.
Eisenhower's softball team has also opened some eyes early on, rallying from an 8-0 first-inning deficit against Bishop Foley to win 11-10 on Monday, before blanking Sterling Heights 2-0 on Wednesday.
Eagle coach Floyd Shotwell has the ability to use three solid pitchers, who are each different in their own way. This team also plays solid defense and the hitting, led by Danielle Craft and Tori Kabel, has been solid early on.
I'm not sure if Eisenhower had enough talent to win the MAC Red Division with state powers Stevenson, Dakota, Chippewa Valley and Anchor Bay all in the league, but the Eagles will surely not be a pushover like they may have been in year's past.
Are there any surprises or disappointing team's you've watched this season. If you have, I'd love to know.
