CLASS 2B SOFTBALL PRESEASON TOP 10
1. Adna
Pirates have the gold ball, and the reigning 2B player of the year in fireballer SP Haley Rainey (as well as all-state catcher Emma Eko)
2. Pe Ell/Willapa Valley
Reigning state runner-up graduated entire battery, but SP Olivia Matlock ready to emerge. And 2B’s top power hitter (Britney Patrick) is back
3. Northwest Christian of Colbert
A definite state contender, the Crusaders rely heavily on all-state SP Alison Shaler, who can also mash the ball with the best of them
4. Ocosta
Losing all-state SS Kaylee Barnum will hurt, but the Wildcats return CF Evalyn Marsh as a building block in a solid lineup
5. Onalaska
The Loggers will have to reload in a tough Southwest District in a hurry, but OF Hannah James showed promise and power as a ninth grader
6. Toutle Lake
SS Keeley Studebaker-Smith is one of the toughest outs in 2B, and is a senior, and SP Jasmine Smith was team’s ace last year as an eighth grader
7. Colfax
The Bulldogs were primarily ninth graders and sophomores, and SP Jorja Koerner is ready to take that next step in the circle
8. Kittitas/Thorp
The returning 2B EWAC champions scored often, and have one of their power hitters back in 3B Tory Coates, now a senior
9. Friday Harbor
All-state performers Thea Seltz (CF) and Grace Pauls (SP) graduated, but SS Bristol Halvorson is a star in the making
10. Kettle Falls
If you want beat this team, you better take care of 1B Jocelyn Glover, who also teams up with Olivia Miller as a pitching duo
