The 2011 high school softball season was one that saw three Columbia County squads – Evans, Greenbrier and Harlem – make the state playoffs.
In addition, numerous county players had a splendid season.
Here is The Columbia County News-Times’ 2011 All-County Softball Team:
Player of the Year
Casey Rowland, Greenbrier
The Wolfpack softball program has plenty of tradition and has experienced only success.
The senior shortstop added to it while jetting into the program’s record book this season.
Rowland’s 17 home runs and 55 RBI were both Greenbrier records. She hit .393 and slugged .934 with 46 runs scored while helping to lead a young squad.
Coach of the Year
Colette Cassedy, Evans
This season will be best remembered as one in which the team ended Greenbrier’s run of region titles.
It was quite an achievement, but it didn’t define the season.
What did was the way the Evans coaching staff managed a team that might not have featured one big star, but did have a slew of talented players.
Cassedy led the Knights to the second round of the state playoffs. Evans finished 24-11 and finished second in the Region 2-AAAA Tournament.
First Team
Pitcher
Kristen Mills, Harlem
The senior went 14-7 with a 1.83 ERA and 97 strikeouts. She also hit .472 with six home runs and 32 RBI.
Mills edged out Evans’ Tiffany Sellers because she pitched every inning of Harlem’s more significant games.
