New Franklin sophomore pitcher Brynn Belstle joined an elite group this past season after being selected second-team all-state by the Missouri Softball Coaches Association. While joining players from all across the state, Belstle was also just one of two sophomores named second-team all-state by the coaches.

Boonville senior Abby Pulliam said she chose Lincoln University in Jefferson City for two reasons last week while signing a softball letter of intent in the high school commons in front of family and friends. While playing the last four years on the Boonville Lady Pirates softball team, mostly as a pitcher, Pulliam said she wanted to go to Lincoln University because of their education program as well as the coaching staff.

Boonville senior Caidyn Hazel has endured more in a short period of time than any player for the Pirates baseball team when it comes to adversity. After biding his time, the first-two years as a player on the junior varsity team, Hazel finally got his shot to show what he was really made of his junior year as a starter under head coach Greg Hough.
