SOFTBALL ATHLETE OF THE YEAR

Jordan McHale provided power and consistency in the middle of Johnston’s order all spring, while playing a solid third base for the Panthers.

She got off to a great start, hitting a home run in the season opener against Cranston East, and that was a sign of things to come.

McHale’s standout season earned her a First Team All-Division II-West berth.

She’ll continue her athletic career at Southern Connecticut State University next year, as McHale will take the diamond for the Division II Owls.
