Best pitcher: Kirkemier is a three-year re- turning starter. “She is a poised position player who is not easily rattled on the mound,” the coach said. “She has an excellent assortment of pitches under her command.”
College prospects: Hickey said Felts is a
University of Arkansas signee, and St. John and Kirkemier have signed with Central Bap- tist College. Rachael Jones also has the poten- tial to continue her career after high school, the coach said.
Games to watch: Hickey listed conference games with Russellville, Van Buren and Bry- ant.
Expectations for the 2015 season: “We are looking to finish high in conference and advance through the state tournament,” Hick- ey said.
