The softball program is one of MMI's up-and-coming athletic programs.  Playing in the Wyoming Valley Conference, the Lady Preppers' Nine have advanced to the PIAA play-offs eight times, most recently during the 2007 and 2008 campaigns.  Additional play-off appearances have been in 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, and 1999.  District competition also seems likely for the upcoming 2010-11 season.  

Marsha Kringe of Drums has been appointed head softball coach.  Coach Kringe has had nine years of softball coaching experience and 13 years of softball playing experience.  She was an All-American third team pick at the catching position for King’s College in 1996.  She served as assistant coach and then head coach for the Hazleton Area School District’s junior high softball team.  Coach Kringe is also the head coach for the Drums Elementary/Middle School junior high girls basketball team.

The 2010 softball team saw a winning record of 9-8 advancing them to the play-offs; however, this year see's the loss of Alaina Titus, Shannon Wenner, Taylor Olian, and Caitlin Ferry.  Seniors Dana Chippi and Brittany Purcell will step up to lead the team, lending experience to the younger players.

The Preppers also began a girls junior high softball program in the spring of 2009.

The 2010 campaign marked the final season with Head Coach Dave Purcell at the helm of the Preppers.  For more information, please contact Athletic Director, Bruce Young at athletics@mmiprep.com.
