Shawnee Area Softball Underclassmen to Watch
North Rock Creek Cougars: Sophie Morris, Sophomore, UTL
Sophie started some as a freshman last year on the state semi-final team but will have a bigger role for use this year in the middle of the infield. She will also be a big contributor offensively, as well.
Bethel Wildcats: Bailey Tucker, Freshman, SS/2B
We have high expectations for this incoming freshman. We look for her to play in the middle infield and make an immediate impact. She’s a great defensive player and strong at the plate. She will add great depth to our team.
McLoud Redskins: Cochana Martin, Freshman, P
Cochana is a freshman who’s going to make an immediate impact for McLoud. She’s a fierce competitor which bleeds over to her teammates. Her competitive nature, combined with her toughness, is on full display when she steps into the circle to pitch. There’s a lot of excitement with the young group coming up at McLoud, with Martin as the catalyst.
Dale Pirates: Reece Herring, Sophomore, 3B
Reece is just sophomore but is coming off a freshman season where she led the Pirate in steals. As a freshman, she hit .350 from the 2-hole last year.
Prague Red Devils: Jadyn Hightower, Junior
Jadyn enters her junior campaign as a two-year starter for Prague. She is an all-around player that will keep a .400+ batting average with good power. She also plays solid defense.
Harrah Panthers: Elliott Cresswell, Sophomore, P
Elliott is a sophomore pitcher that can spin the ball well and put it in great locations.
