Lynnville-Sully’s Hay scores all-state softball honor

Lynnville-Sully senior Jakeira Hay ranked in the top 10 in doubles in Class 1A this past summer. She also reached base 46 percent of the time for the Hawk softball team.

Those statistics, and a few others, helped Hay earn honorable mention all-state recognition from the Iowa Girls Coaches Association recently.

Hay also earned 1A South Central District recognition, and L-S seniors Olivia Norrish and Alaina Roberts grabbed academic all-state recognition from the IGCA.

Joining Hay on the 1A South Central District 18-player squad were BGM’s Ryanne Van Dee and Karagyn Minnaert, HLV/TC’s Lily Randall and Ayla Hall, Sigourney’s Josephine Moore and Dani Aller, English Valleys’ Taylor Mikesell and Iowa Valley’s Izzy Kriegel and Lydia Kriegel.

Hay batted .375 and had an on-base percentage of .459. Her 15 doubles tied for sixth in 1A and she added 27 hits, three runs, one homer, 21 RBIs, 11 walks and 45 total bases.

Hay had a fielding percentage of .987. She was one of 37 players in 1A to commit one or fewer errors this summer.
