White named to all-league second team

Louisburg High School junior Miranda White was recently named to the all-Frontier League softball team. White earned second-team honors and was the lone Lady Cat to be selected.


 

It was a rough year for the Louisburg High School softball team as it ended its season with a 0-21 record.

There weren’t many positives for the Lady Cats to build on, but Miranda White was one of them. All-Frontier League honors were released last week and White’s name was on the list.

White, the team’s starting centerfielder, had a good season for the Lady Cats and earned second team honors as she was one of the team’s top hitters and was their best defensive player.

“I’m honored, especially to stand out with an 0-21 record,” White said. “But it makes me feel good knowing that I represented LHS. I feel that I gave it a full 110 percent and that I did my job.”

This is the second consecutive season White made the list of all-league players and was one of four returning players that made the state tournament in 2014.

White was perfect in centerfield with a 1.000 fielding percentage to go along with seven assists. At the plate, White had a .519 average, a .481 on-base percentage and a .703 slugging percentage.

She finished with 22 hits, four doubles, two home runs and five RBIs to go along with 17 stolen bases. Despite the good numbers, White learned a lot from the difficult season.

“More importantly I gained self-esteem and my leadership skills grew,” White said. “I enjoyed showing the other girls technique when they asked for help. It was hard not getting down but I did my job on the field and did all that I could do for the team.”

Spring Hill led the league with seven selections, including four on the first team. Paola was next with six spots on the all-league squad.
