Lady Broncos earn academic accolades

Three members of the 2008 Lady Bronco softball team have been selected to the Middle Tennessee Softball Coaches Association’s All-Academic team.

Juniors Cassie Wanamaker, Leah Walker and Monica Hillis were selected for not only their efforts on the softball field, but also their accomplishments in the classroom. Wanamaker pitches for the Lady Broncos, Walker is the starting catcher and Hillis is the starting center fielder.

The criteria for selection are a student athlete must maintain a GPA of 3.75 on a 4.0 scale and be a junior or senior.

The All-Academic team will be acknowledged for their accomplishments on June 11 at the MTSCA’s All Star game, which will be played at Drakes Creek Park in Hendersonville.

‘We are extremely proud of these student athletes for their efforts in the classroom. Our players spend countless hours on the practice field and this is a tremendous accomplishment,’ said MTSCA representative Gary Davis.
