Fowler, Dorados continue to stomp competition
Since returning as CDO’s softball coach last year, 2005 and 2011 state championship coach Kelly Fowler has gone 53-8-1. The Dorados went undefeated (3-0) in the rain-shortened Michelle Carew Invitational last week in Orange County, Calif., against some of the nation’s top teams and are 21-1-1 entering a Tuesday showdown against state title-seeking Salpointe Catholic. What is amazing about Fowler’s team is that 16 players have already committed to college scholarships. The breakdown: seven to Division I teams, three to Division II and Division III teams, three to junior colleges and three to academic scholarships. CDO’s young players have been outstanding: Freshman pitcher Halle Morris and sophomore Ellessa Bonstrom have already committed to Utah; sophomores Anya Gonzalez and AJ Kaiser have committed to Syracuse; junior Wendy Castro accepted a Wisconsin scholarship.
