Grace Lumpkin, Yorktown Sr. P :
The hurler enters her fourth season as the team’s top arm. She went 16-6 with a 1.77 ERA a season ago and has 47 career victories.
Katy Johnson, Yorktown Sr. SS:
One of the top defensive players in the area, Johnson also possesses a formidable bat, having hit .441 with 13 doubles and five home runs last season.
Kaija Aikman, Wapahani Jr. 1B/P:
One of the top hitters in the area, Aikman hit .551 with 11 doubles and seven home runs. She’ll likely carry a heavy pitching burden as well this season after the departure of ace Hanna Rose.
Sara Masters, Wapahani Sr. C
The Cowan transfer had to sit out all of last season but is now eligible. She is one of the most potent hitters in the area and bolsters an already solid lineup. She was last seen hitting 18 home runs in her first two varsity seasons.
Larissa Boles, Jay County Sr. P
Setting the standard for two-way dominance last season, Boles was equally deadly as a hitter (.515 average, 10 home runs, 1.102 slugging) and a pitcher (18-2 record, 0.59 ERA, 200 strikeouts).
