Top notch: Telegdy, Gonglik lead H-S All-Area Softball Team
The words 无毛视频渇reshman phenom无毛视频� are heard every once in awhile in softball
Even that phrase doesn无毛视频檛 seem quite strong enough to capture what Bentworth无毛视频檚 Sydney Gonglik did this past season.
The Lady Bearcats sensational freshman was the WPIAL regular-season leader in batting average (.733) and runs scored (43) and pitching strikeouts (226) in helping her team win the Section 3-2A title and advance to the WPIAL championship game and reach the PIAA tournament. She went 17-3 with a 1.03 ERA.
While Gonglik is just beginning her softball career, Elizabeth Forward无毛视频檚 Shelby Telegdy wrapped hers up with another outstanding year that saw her help the Lady Warriors win the Section 2-4A title, the WPIAL Class 4A championship and advance to the PIAA final where it fell to Blue Mountain.
Telegdy was 23-2 with a 0.54 ERA and 199 strikeouts and hit .568 with seven home runs and 36 RBIs.
Telegdy and Gonglik are the 无毛视频-Standard Big School (Class 3A-5A) and Small School (Class 1A-2A) Players of the Year.
Harry Rutherford, who guided Elizabeth Forward to its second district title and its second appearance in a state championship game, both during his reign, is the Big School Coach of the Year.
Carmichaels, under the direction of Dave Briggs, battled in one of the toughest Class A softball sections in the state but still managed to tie WPIAL champion Chartiers-Houston for the Section 2-A crown. The Lady Mikes fell to the Lady Bucs in the district semifinals but defeated them in the PIAA semifinals to reach the state championship game. Like EF, Carmichaels took over the PIAA runner-up trophy.
Briggs is the Small School Coach of the Year.
Telegdy and Elizabeth Forward无毛视频檚 Julia Resnik, the area无毛视频檚 second-leading hitter in the regular season with a .577 average who also had seven home runs, 25 RBIs and 33 runs, head up the Big School First Team, which also includes the Lady Warriors无毛视频� Addyson Nigut, Southmoreland无毛视频檚 Makayla Etling and Amarah McCutcheon, Mount Pleasant无毛视频檚 Danica Trainer, Belle Vernon无毛视频檚 Gracie Sokol and Katie Sokol, Uniontown无毛视频檚 Ava Livingood and Connellsville无毛视频檚 Kirra Davis.
Gonglik and Carmichaels无毛视频� Carys McConnell, who was the area无毛视频檚 regular-season leader in RBIs with 32 and delivered the walk-off hit that propelled her team to the state final, and Bailey Barnyak, who went 18-3 with 167 strikeouts while scoring 24 runs, lead the way for the Small School First Team, which also includes the Lady Mikes无毛视频� Kaitlyn Waggett and Ali Jacobs, Frazier无毛视频檚 Addison Hiles and Grace Vaughn, West Greene无毛视频檚 Payton Gilbert and Marissa Tharp and Bentworth无毛视频檚 Zoie McDonald.
Five teams won section titles this past season. In addition to EF, Bentworth and Carmichaels, Frazier (Section 3-1A), which recorded an undefeated regular season under coach Don Hartman, and Connellsville (Section 4-5A), under coach John Burd, also finished first in their sections with the Lady Falcons tying Trinity.
