years to come. We were very fortunate to sign two pitchers of their caliber in
one year. With our game, everything starts in the circle, and I believe we have
set ourselves up for a lot of success in the coming years by adding these two
athletes.”
MEGAN
OTTINO
Outfield, R/R,
Torrance, Calif./North
Megan
Ottino, a four-year varsity starter and 2013 team captain at
North High School in Torrance, Calif., led her high school team to a 24-8
record in 2012. In 2010, she helped lead her high school team to a second place
finish in the CIF finals, and in 2012, she was named to the All-League Team.
Ottino was a member of the 2010 Adidas Futures Team and hit a grand slam in the

her high school team (.380), recording six home runs and 25 RBIs. At the club

the Artesia Punishers. Helping USA Athletics qualify for the ASA Gold Nationals,
she hit two back-to-back home runs in a national qualifying game.
Powers
on Ottino: “Megan will roam the outfield for us next season. Megan's power at the plate will be a nice
addition to the middle of our lineup and we look forward to her driving in runs
at the new Logan Field. She is versatile
and can also play infield if needed.”
PAIGE
BOUSKA
Second base/outfield/shortstop, L/R, Keizer, Ore./McNary
Paige
Bouska, a four-year varsity starter from McNary High School in
Keizer, Ore., helped lead the Celtics to a 2010 league championship (18-0
league record) and to the 2012 state semifinals. Bouska was named 2010 Second

Oregon Panthers Gold and helped lead the Washington Ladyhawks Miller Gold to
the Oregon 16A state title in 2011.
Powers on Bouska: “Paige will compete in the middle
infield for us next season. She brings a
solid glove and the slapping element on the offensive side. She is a true utility type player that can
play multiple positions at a high level giving our team much needed depth
throughout the field.”
