Five standout softball players from our area were selected to participate in the recent USSSA Missouri/Kansas All-State Softball Games—an event honoring athletes for exceptional sportsmanship, teamwork, attitude, and skill throughout the season.
Representing our communities were Kallie Ann Knowles (Butler), Ella Bauer (Montrose), Briley Warner (Nevada), Braelynn Isaacson (Butler), and Lilly Ford (Fort Scott). Each athlete earned a coveted nomination during USSSA Qualifying Events because of their all‑around efforts and positive conduct.
The participants teamed up with players from across Missouri and Kansas in two exciting showcase games, grouped by age and class. Every player received a commemorative All‑State Games ring at the conclusion of the event—an earned reward for their dedication.
Congratulations to these young women for standing out on the field and being recognized among the best in the region!
