Flathead’s Craver, Glacier’s Goudette are All-State

A pair of Kalispell softball players have been named first-team all-Western AA, and thus are All-State picks in voting from league coaches.

Flathead outfielder Macy Craver and Glacier second baseman Kenadie Goudette were named All-State.

Goudette hit .433 for the Wolfpack, second on the team. She hit two homers, nine doubles and drove in 15 runs.

Craver hit .400 and led the Bravettes in hits (24), runs (18) and doubles (5).

Players of the year were Helena Capital’s Anna Cockhill on offense and her teammate Nyeala Herndon on defense.

Cockhill hit .447 with seven homers and 29 RBIs, and also scored 52 runs for the Bruins, who finished third at last weekend’s State AA tournament. Herndon was the ace pitching, going 15-3 with a 2.12 earned-run average. She fanned 151 batters in 109 innings.

Making second-team all-Western AA were shortstop Sammie Labrum and pitcher Ella Farrell from Glacier. Labrum hit .470 for the Pack and also led the team in runs (33), doubles (10), triples (3), home runs (6) and RBIs (26).

Farrell was the top pitcher, going 8-6 with a 3.76 ERA. She struck out 124 in 97 innings.

Glacier’s Alli Kernan and Emma Cooke and Flathead’s Laynee Vessar were honorable mentions.
