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
