by Gracie Edwards

Avery has been playing softball for seven years. She stated that she started playing because “[her] first-grade teacher is really who introduced it to [her].” Since then, she has stuck with it. Her favorite position to play in softball is catcher because, as she explains, “I get the most action.” Avery’s proudest moment came when she was in travel ball. She states that her most proudest moment came from, “My first home run, I hit in travel ball.” 

What she enjoys about softball is “making friends and getting to travel places.” When asked about her favorite season, she states that this is her favorite season so far. One of her favorite memories is from her freshman year, she says, “Going to Chattanooga my freshman year, and we played 3 games, and just going with the team and having fun.” With state playoffs, Avery says, “I think for state playoffs the team will do good and will make it to Columbus. The chemistry on the team has gotten a lot better, and everyone is working together because everyone has the same goals.”

After all the hard work Avery has put into her sport, it is very clear that she is very passionate about softball.
