"Hannah is a great kid," Coach Edwards said. "She helped a lot with the middle school team until the schedules conflicted with her volleyball."

Coach Edwards said she believes Hannah, who can play almost any softball position, will be one of the best as she moves up over her high school years.

"She played multiple positions in softball at the middle school," Edwards said. "I have watched her grow immensely as I coached her in the middle school."

Hannah was a pitcher in middle school and played outfield. Edwards is uncertain at this point what her main position will be this spring, but she expects great things from this exceptionally positive and talented young athlete.
