Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

By ANDREW SIMONSON | Sports Editor

Eleven different local softball stars found their names on the All-State softball team when the roster released on Saturday, June 7, including players from the Thompson Warriors, Helena Huskies, Chelsea Hornets, Shelby County Wildcats and Cornerstone Christian Chargers.

In addition to those names, Helena’s Mark Sanders took home the Class 6A Coach of the Year award. In just his second season as a varsity coach, Sanders won the Class 6A state championship as the Huskies went undefeated at the state tournament to claim their first championship in school history.

Thompson led the way with five selections for Class 7A, including Aubree Hooks as a First Team pitcher. Hooks led the county with a 20-0 record, 1.41 ERA and 0.88 WHIP while racking up 158 strikeouts against 19 earned runs in 94 innings.

In addition, Kadyn Bush and Olivia Tindell earned Second Team selections. Bush was selected as a pitcher thanks to her 10-1 record, 2.37 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 90 strikeouts. She gave up just 24 earned runs and 20 walks in 71 innings.

Tindell received an outfielder selection after batting .417 with a .497 on-base percentage and .700 slugging percentage. She also secured 31 RBI off 50 hits, including 12 doubles and six home runs.

Aubrey Bauer and Kelsey Burden rounded out the Thompson selections with Honorable Mentions. Bauer batted .403 with 18 RBI off 31 hits in 77 at-bats while earning a .472 on-base percentage and .519 slugging percentage.

Burden won Class 7A state championship MVP after a season where she went .415 at the plate with a .484 on-base percentage and .500 slugging percentage. She had 28 RBI and 45 runs off 54 hits and earned 25 stolen bases.

Helena’s top two pitchers received All-State honors as Marlee Parsons earned an All-State First Team and Carrington Schiefer taking home an Honorable Mention.

Parsons went 17-8 on the year with a 2.18 ERA and 1.01 WHIP, securing a county-high 185 strikeouts against 34 walks and 49 earned runs. She also pitched the most innings in the county at 157.

Schiefer won Class 6A state championship MVP for going the distance in the state title game against Saraland along with multiple key hits at the plate. For the season, she went 10-5 with four saves, a 3.37 ERA and 1.53 WHIP. Schiefer secured 78 strikeouts against just 17 walks and 38 earned runs in 79 innings.

Chelsea’s Katie Hopson secured a Class 6A All-State First Team utility spot. She finished the year with a .461 average, .512 on-base percentage, .954 slugging percentage and .955 fielding percentage while playing multiple defensive positions. She racked up 16 home runs, 23 doubles and 49 RBI off 70 hits.

Shelby County’s Caitlan Bland earned an Honorable Mention for the Class 5A All-State team after earning a .349 average, .462 on-base percentage and .756 slugging percentage thanks to her 28 RBI off 30 hits, eight home runs and three triples.

Cornerstone received two Honorable Mentions in AISA for utility player Laney Wilson and designated player Makayla Allen. The freshman Wilson split time between shortstop and the outfield and batted .482 with a .723 slugging percentage and 32 RBI off 40 hits.

Allen was one of the top hitters with a .793 batting average and a 1.110 slugging percentage thanks to her 41 RBI off 65 hits.
