The Crook County High School baseball team landed two players on the all-league team yesterday, as seniors Zach Close and Mike Haring were named honorable mention all league.

While the baseball team finished in last place and landed only two players on the all-league team, the softball team tied for second place in the Intermountain Conference and ared much better in the all-league balloting.
"We were recognized real well, and I'm pretty proud of that," said Head Softball Coach Tom Decker.
Decker and Mary Evers of Bend were named co-Head Coaches of the Year, and Junior Sydney Waite was named IMC Player of the Year.
"Being named Coach of the Year is another feather in my players' cap," Decker said. "They won that honor with their play."
Other Cowgirls earning first team all-IMC honors were junior pitcher Bre Crakes, senior catcher Santana Reece, and sophomore outfielder Josi Verity.
Infielder Kaitlyn Duncan and outfielders Paige Buswell and Kasey George were selected to the league second team and first baseman Sami Verity and pitcher Kelsey Casey were named honorable mention.
"It's great to see that our kids are recognized by the rest of the league for the achievements that they accomplished this year," said Decker. "I was real happy that other coaches recognized our kids for the hard work that they put in."
The Cowgirls have a first round bye in the state playoffs, then travel to Glencoe on Tuesday, May 20. Glencoe is currently ranked first in the state. |
