Player Summary

Hi! I am a 2024 RHP/1B.  In August 2023, I joined the Team Virginia Mizuno Organization and am looking forward to continue competing at a high level against top teams with Team Virginia Mizuno Lovell/Harrington 18U. 

This fall we will compete in the Heartland Showcase, ACLF Alliance Sup Cup Series, Legendary Showcase Showdown, Carolina Elite Classic, Northeast Power 50 Invitational and the Veteran’s Tribute.

In addition, I play varsity softball for Petersburg High School (WV). My high school team plays a very competitive schedule each year.  In my freshman season I was able to contribute with pitching and my bat to help my team make it to the State tournament where we finished in third place.  In my sophomore year I led my team on the mound and at the plate to Sectional and Regional Championships and all the way to the State Championship game where we finished the season as WV “A” State Runner-Up. In my junior year I led my team back to the WV State Tournament with Sectional and Regional Championships for the third time in as many years.

As a sophomore I was named to First Team West Virginia “A” All-State Pitcher, West Virginia “A” All-Tournament Team – Pitcher, First Team All Potomac Valley Conference Pitcher, Cumberland Times News (WV and MD) All-Area Second Team Pitcher.

As a junior my softball recognitions include: First Team West Virginia “A” All-State Pitcher, First Team All Potomac Valley Conference Pitcher, Potomac Valley Conference Player of the Year, Cumberland Times News (WV and MD) All-Area First Team Flex Player.
