Wetumpka Indians pick up home-opening win versus Opelika

After last season’s disappointing and premature finish, the Wetumpka Indians are back on the dirt and reloaded with new talent, experienced players and drive to compete at a high level. The Wetumpka Indians hosted their first Class 7A softball opponent, Opelika (3-1), for their home opener last Wednesday night, picking up a win in a dominant showing, 8-3. The Indians are now 4-1 on the season, already showing their potential to contend in the postseason. 

That potential started in the pitchers’ circle, a point which Wetumpka coach Daryl Otwell has pointed to as a strength of this year’s team.
