Teams to watch

■ Boca Raton: Pitcher/outfielder Taylor Cochrane (.375, 24 RBIs), catcher Emma Morgan (.397/22) and pitcher/infielder Maddie Ihnat (. 382/ 14) are all back for the Bobcats, who were the District 10-9A runners-up last year.

■ Glades Day: The Gators advanced to the state semifinals last season, and return most of their starting lineup from that team, including pitcher Jaylin Smith.

■ Jupiter: The Warriors lost two-time Player of the Year Ally Costa and much of their offense from last year’s state semifinalist team, but return a strong group of seniors led by catcher Ashley Goebel.

■ Olympic Heights: The Lions won their first-ever district championship last season, and return much of their starting lineup from that team, including outfielders Kaitlyn Cunningham and Theresa Stettner.

■ Oxbridge Academy: Despite losing Player of the Year Lianna Mullins to graduation, the ThunderWolves return the bulk of their starting lineup from last year, and added a pair of transfers in outfielders Ariel Girardi and Jena Whipple.

■ Palm Beach Gardens: The Gators return plenty of talent and depth, and added sisters Katelyn and Breanna Robine from Lake Worth Christian.

■ Park Vista: The Cobras are young, but expect to challenge for a district title. Outfielders Morgan Keith and Kaylee DiNatali and shortstop Olivia Zehl return.

■ Royal Palm Beach: The Wildcats will have to replace standout pitcher Jaime Tino, but return the bulk of their offense. Infielders Nicole Hayslip and Paige Houck, and catcher Megann Linardos will lead the way.

■ Spanish River: Utility players Gigi Auricchio and Taylor Karger both hit over .400 last year for the Sharks, and both are back. Spanish River will need to find a replacement for starting pitcher Liz Gollin.

■ Wellington: The Wolverines return one of the area’s top college prospects in junior infielder Sarah Longley — a UF commit — and a pair of standout pitchers in Kate Desimone and Katie Schmidt.
