SIX - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 4,2012 Heppner girls chosen for Chamber Chatter softball all-state H eppner Two H eppner girls have been chosen for the Class 2A/1A softball All- State First I'eam. Cassi Day has been named first team infielder and Baily Bennett made first team pitcher. Bennett was also chosen as 2A/1A player of the year. Heppner High School soft- ball coach Petra Payne was named coach of the year. Day is the daughter of Kurt and Sandy Day of Heppner; she graduated last month from HHS. Bennett, the daughter of Mike and Misty Bennett of Heppner, will be a senior at HHS next year. To be eligible for First Team All-State, the girls first had to be on First Team All-League. Coaches from each district nominate play ers from all-league teams, and stats are submitted to back up those nominations. Then a coach representing each league—six coaches throughout the state—look at the stats and vote on the All-Team players. Those with the most votes are selected for First Team, while Second Team serves as a kind of “runner-up” category for those who get fewer votes. There is also an honorable mention category. Payne said she felt great when she heard the news. “They’re both great girls. They’ve had wonder ful stats that supported them in this,” she said. “I’m glad Bailv Bennett (L) and Cassi Day accept the state softball trophy on behalf of the Mustang team. -Photo by Sandy Matthews they were able to be recog nized at the state level.
