The Kentucky softball team has been outside just twice this year because of the winter weather, but the team is only a week away from starting the 2011 campaign. UK will head south for the FIU Combat Class in Miami on Feb. 11 to begin the season. The Cats’ first opponent in the tournament will be Ohio State, which has ended Kentucky’s NCAA Tournament run in each of the last two seasons.I’ll have some upcoming feature stories on the team over the next couple of weeks on the blog, including some additional baseball stories as well, but in the meantime, check out a pair of videos from interviews I conducted with head coach Rachel Lawson and pitcher Rachel Riley. Head coach Rachel Lawson
