Despite a pandemic, the past two seasons (2021 & 2022) The Winchendon School’s softball team has been crushing it, in no small part due to Tes D. ’22. A transfer student from Lancaster, MA, Tes settled in as a boarding student and found her place.
This year, a full schedule of college recruiting, applications, and games, gave Tes the opportunity to end her high school career on a memorable note.
Teammates Tes and Madi Zancan were selected to play for the WNEPSSA All-Star game on May 1st at Ethel Walker School. In the game, Madi went 2 for 2 and was perfect in the field. Tes pitched two hitless innings and struck out three batters. She also went 1 for 2 at the plate.
Number 42 also pitched five perfect innings against Lexington Christian Academy in a game where she struck out 12 batters. For Tes, wearing 42 is in honor of the great Jackie Robinson.
“I wear number 42 to remind me of Jackie Robinson and what he went through and how he persevered through everything and it’s always just a reminder to never give up, and to always keep pushing to be better. “

Next year, Tes will be pitching for the Seahawks of Keiser University – and we can’t wait to see what she does next!
