Bison, Saints earn honorable mention all-state
LINCOLN, Neb. — McCook senior Jada Berry and freshman Brooklyn Gillen both earned Class B All-State softball honorable mention from the Lincoln Journal-Star on Sunday.
Berry was the top pitcher on McCook’s subdistrict finals team this fall while Gillen stepped into the starting shortstop position where she became a defensive anchor.
Both were also among the best Bison hitters throughout this 2021 season.
Gillen, Berry and senior Brenna Carner all captured Southwest Conference honors last week.
Meanwhile, the Southern Valley-Alma Saints earned similiar honors.
Natasha Hock and Brynn Bailey both earned Class C softball All-State honorable mention in the Journal-Star.
The Saints slipped a bit to 10-20 this fall after reaching last year’s district championship round before losing against Kearney Catholic.
