Incoming Wichita State softball player Hayley Temple has been named the Arizona Small Schools Player-of-the-Year for the 2008-09 academic year by the Arizona Republic.Temple helped lead Chandler Valley Christian to a 24-5-2 record and a spot in the 2A state tournament this spring. Her .624 batting average, .670 on base percentage and 1.161 slugging percentage were tops in the state while her 11 triples led the nation. She also ranked in the state’s top 10 in RBI (41), runs (43) and doubles (13).In the circle she led the state with 315 strikeouts and ranked in the top 10 with a 0.60 earned run average, 176 innings pitched and 21 wins.
“I’m kind of shocked,” Temple told the Republic. “We didn’t win state. I always thought whoever wins state, their best player would get (the Player of the Year award). I feel really honored and special.”
Derby senior Sammie Shook, who lead Derby to a top 8 finish in KS 6A State Tournament, was recently named to the Wichita Eagle All-Metro Softball Team. The All-Metro team covers the counties of Sedgwick (Wichita), Butler, and Harvey. Sammie was also named 1st Team All Ark Valley-Chisolm Trail League. On the year Shook batted .405, with a outstanding .825 slugging percentage, drove in 35 runs, and belted 8 homers. State honors have not been anounced yet, but I'm sure this Shocker will be among those honored!
