#3 She could be the best to ever wear a Reeds Spring uniform…

For my number three story of 2019 I return to Reeds Spring.   The Lady Wolves Softball program has seen some very good talent step between the lines.  No doubt some very special ladies have worn the red and white.

Not sure that the best of them all did not complete her senior season, this fall.  Izzy Erickson is a rare talent.  Her all-around game is something that is very seldom seen.  She has as much speed as just about any player in the game and she has as much power as anyone that has ever worn a Lady Wolf uniform.  She has the single season and career home run records.

I could go on about her accomplishments in the batters box, but its in the circle that she thrives even more.  For the second consecutive season she averaged more that two strike outs per inning.  She helped lead the Wolves to the district Championship game this season.  She was named All-State and will attend Butler Community College next fall.
