Meanwhile, Millie Roberts—a past All-State First Team selection—earned an honorable mention nod. The Auburn Tigers commit finished the year with a .415 batting average while hitting 11 home runs and driving in 46 runs.
“I think that being honorable mention was an honor being that there are so many amazing players in the state,” Roberts said.
Head Coach John Biggs Sr. said that the pair deserved the honors given all the hard work they have put in throughout the 2021 season.
“It’s just an honor to be recognized on these teams,” Biggs Sr. said. “This is a statewide honor voted on by the coaches all over the state. It shows you the respect these girls have earned through the year.”
