ALL-DISTRICT

Six Kingfisher High School softball players were voted to the 4A-1 All-District team by its coaches.

Three of them earned first-team honors. Selected to the first team were Liliana Garramone as an outfielder, Lily Voth as a pitcher and Adlee Friesen as a utility player.

Earning honorable mention were Kinlee East, Kendall Farrar and Addison Johnson.

All six players are either freshmen or sophomores.

“It’s always an honor to earn all-district, but especially this year,” said KHS head coach Morgan Dutton.

“This was a super tough district with tons of talent. A lot of girls we played against this year are college commits.”

District 4A-1 produced the state champion in Weatherford as the Lady Eagles went 33-2 overall and claimed the state title last Saturday by downing Purcell 5-0.

Weatherford went 11-1 in district games with that lone loss coming at the hands of KHS.

Elk City, which was second in the district with a 9-3 mark, also qualified for state.

The Elkettes’ only district losses were a sweep at the hands of Weatherford - which also beat Elk City in the state quarterfinals - and to Kingfisher.

KHS went 6-6 in district games and placed fifth. The Lady Jackets were 23-9 on the season despite just one senior on the roster.

A sophomore, Garramone led the team with a .412 batting average and .551 onbase percentage.

She was third on the team with 25 runs scored, drove in 12 runs and also drew a team-high 21 walks.

Friesen, also a sophomore, tied for fourth on the team with a .357 average. She tied for second with 30 hits, was second with 27 runs and also drove in 12 RBIs.

Voth was big at the plate and in the circle during her freshman campaign.

She led the team with 93 2/3 innings pitched and gave up just 39 runs, 30 of them earned.

She struck out 66 batters, walked only 17 and carried a 2.24 earned run average.

Voth was also third on the team with a .361 average and tied for first with 21 RBIs. She collected 30 hits and scored 16 runs.

Like Voth, East was a dual threat for KHS.

In her sophomore campaign, she pitched 85 2/3 innings during which she gave up 61 runs, 42 of them earned.

East struck out 67 batters, walked 29 and had a 3.43 ERA.

At the plate, East was second on the team with a .396 average and .456 ONBP. She led the team with 36 hits. Of those, 17 went for extra bases as she had a team-high 11 doubles and she also hit two home runs.

East led the team with 33 runs and was third with 20 RBIs.

Johnson was tied for fourth with a .357 average. The freshman collected 25 hits, 16 RBIs and scored 18 times.

Farrar, also a freshman, led the team with three home runs and tied for the team lead with 21 RBIs.

She hit .338 on the season and scored 19 runs.
