State Farm Student Athlete of the week

We are so excited to announce this weeks State Farm student athlete of the week, Kennedy Diggs. Kennedy is a Senior at Sherwood High School and is starting pitcher for the varsity lady Marksmen softball team. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet with Kennedy today as the Lady Marksmen are competing in the Hillcrest softball tournament. 

Kennedy was nominated by her coach, Erin Doll. Coach Doll stated, "she is an all around great student athlete. She is a straight A student and a member of FFA, NHS, FCCLA, FCA, and art club. Last week she threw her 1,000 strikeout of her career. 

She has now broken the state record for career strikeouts and we still have several games to go. Her BA is .600, OPS 1.823, SLG 1.180, and has 30 hits on the season. She has 14 1B, 9 2B, 1 3B, 6 HR, and 12 RBI. Kennedy also has 224 strikeouts on this season so far." Congratulations Kennedy, this is such an amazing accomplishment! We wish her and the Lady Marksmen the best of luck with the rest of their season.

Kennedy plans to further her academic and athletic career at KU.
