2018 Pahranagat Valley Softball Capsule

PAHRANAGAT VALLEY

Head coach: Mike Sparrow, 17th season

2017 record: 31-5 (10-0 1A Southern/first)

Returning letter winners (starters): Twelve (six)

Top players: C Madalyn Taylor (Sr.), P/2B Ashlyn Wadsworth (Sr.), P/1B Katilyn Davis (Sr.), SS/C Morgan Harris (Jr.)

Outlook: The five-time defending Class 1A state champions bring back six starters and should get another boost with the return of Taylor, who sat out last year to heal a knee injury. Taylor hit .398 as a sophomore.

Sparrow expects Harris, who hit .476 last season, to shift from catcher to shortstop and help anchor the infield. Davis (16-2, 1.48 ERA) and Wadsworth (13-3, 2.76) both return in the circle.

“Ashlyn Wadsworth and Kaitlyn Davis will provide leadership in the circle along with returning infielder Rachel Bunker and center fielder Karley Whipple,” Sparrow said. “We expect to fill the remaining starting positions with girls in the program.

“This group should help us contend for another state title this year.”
