accumulating an astounding 331 strikeouts in 168.2 innings. At the 10
plate, she posted a .527 batting average with 32 runs batted in, 41 11

out of competition, are a justifiable source of pride and a fine 16
reflection not only on her but also on her family, her teammates, her 17
coaches, her school, and her hometown. Serving local youth as a math 18
and reading tutor as well as a volunteer softball and basketball 19
coach, she has maintained a 4.0 grade point average throughout her 20
high school career, and she has attained the position of valedictorian 21
for her class. Her unwavering commitment to excellence has earned her 22
the prestigious Gatorade Ohio Softball Player of the Year honor, and 23
she is certainly worthy of high praise; and 24
WHEREAS, With athletic competition playing such an important role 25
in the total education of our young people, we are overjoyed to pay 26
