High School were selected MaxPreps / NFCA National High School Players of the Week for their outstanding play during the week of March 4-10.
South Region
Graham was a perfect 7-for-7 in her first two games of 2019. The senior third baseman was 3-for-3 with two homers, five RBI and three runs scored against Stuart Cramer. In her second game of the season, she nearly hit for the cycle with two doubles and a triple versus Polk County. Graham was 4-for-4 with seven RBI and three runs scored against the Wolverines.

She also helped herself out at the dish, going 3-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored. Two days later, Kackley struck out 20 more batters with zero walks against Grenville. Only one Lion reached base courtesy of a hit batter. The sophomore righty’s back-to-back 20 K outings were a season high and brought Kackley’s 2019 total to 267 in 112 innings.

Schrimscher hit .917 (11-for-12), scored 12 runs and recorded four triples helping the Nighthawks start the season 3-1.
