The Lady Gators softball team, under head coach Rebecca Kirkland, is geared up for another playoff run in 2015. Last season, they were the number-four seed out of Region 3-AAAAA and fell in the first round. The big news to come out of the offseason was senior Blake Crews verbally committing to play at Stetson University in Deland, Florida. The catcher was First-Team All-Region last year, hitting .264 with an on-base percentage of .333. During her first three years of playing at Ware County, she has had a fielding percentage of .985 while knocking in 31 runs.
She will be one of the players returning to Coach Kirkland’s team. Others include First-Team All-Region 3-AAAAA pitcher Domineek McClain, who pitched 64 innings with an earned run average of 1.85 in 2014. She gave up 54 hits, 37 runs, and chalked up 38 strikeouts; junior Emily Oliver, who hit .342 last season with two homeruns and 17 runs batted in; senior Whitney Thrift, and juniors Amber Holley, Lizzie Shubert, Kennedy Sanders, and Alexis Trusty.
