THE FRONT ROW with MARK NELKE: The dirt on the state 5A softball tourney in Post Falls

“I couldn’t be prouder of my girls. We’re soooooooo young,” Coeur d'Alene coach Bobbi Darretta said. “Four freshmen, two sophomores and a junior out there (starting), and two seniors in the outfield. I’m really excited for the future. I told them hang your head high … everybody had us the No. 4 team (out of four) in the league and we won league, won districts and beat the No. 1 team in the state. We weren’t even supposed to be here, so for us, that’s a win. Next year, we’re coming back, and we’re going to be stronger.”
