Westfield softball star Avery Parker is among the finalists for Miss Softball this season.
Parker, an Indiana University recruit, is one of five players from across the state that will contend for the award, which will be presented at the All Star Game, which takes place June 25 at Indiana University. Players are nominated by their coaches and then voted on by all the coaches who attended district meetings on May 22. The All-Star team is picked by the seniors who receive the most votes.
Other finalists for Miss Softball are Hailey Cripe, Pioneer; Karley Trine, Kokomo; Karissa Hamilton, Shelbyville; and Brenna Blume, Gibson Southern.
The Softball Coaches Association of Indiana released its All-State teams last week. Four Hamilton County players were honored in the 3A/4A list. Parker and Guerin Catholic’s Izzy Kemp were named to the First Team, Carmel’s Sophie Esposito to the Second Team and Noblesville’s Scout Duplaga to the Third Team.
