The high school softball season is in full swing, with most northern teams able to start play last week.

As expected, it’s the big arms that are leading the charge. Mankato East goes as senior pitcher Kylinn Stangl goes. So far, she has been as good as advertised: three victories, 35 strikeouts and just one earned run allowed for the future Gophers pitcher.

The same can be said for Randolph’s Carter Raymond. Another University of Minnesota signee (and 2024 Star Tribune Metro Player of the Year), Raymond and her 65-mph fastball have been lights out early.
