COLONY — Casey Cook lived a coach’s dream Monday.

Her Crest High softball team took control early and never let up against an overmatched St. Paul squad, winning 23-2 and 20-2 in the Lady Lancers’ season-opener.

“That’s exactly what I wanted to happen,” Cook said. “My starting pitcher came out and threw the ball well. Our defense got their jitters out of the way. 

“What I wanted, if we could get ahead, was to get our other girls in there, and I was able to do that. I don’t know how many times we’ll be able to do that this season.”
