RTCA Softball Earns Awards

Robert Toombs
Christian Academy held
their Annual Softball
Awards banquet last week
and honored their Lady
Crusaders.
Three RTCA Lady
Crusaders softball play
ers were chosen for State
All Star Game. Seniors
Elbe Graham, Morgan
Newsome and Madison
Williams were selected to
play in the GISA All Star
Senior Classic, which was
held October 25 at Geor
gia Southwestern Univer
sity. Newsome had a solid
year defensively for the
Lady Crusaders only
committing three errors
on the season. Graham
led the Crusader offense
with a .508 batting aver
age and runs scored with
31. Newsome was able to
come back from major
knee surgery to help lead
the Crusader outfield
and was a team leader in
RBI’s.
Coach Brian Fitzger
ald says, "It's always an
honor to have one of your
players selected and rec
ognized for their hard
work and dedication and
in our case three players.
They work hard in and
out of the classroom and
are the best of what it
means to be a Crusader."
Seven Lady Crusad
ers were selected All Re
gion. Seniors Graham at
short stop, Newsome at
second base, Williams in
right field, Marli Mccra-
nie in center field, Junior
Charlee Ely as outfield
and pitcher, Freshman
Railee Thomas catcher,
and Meredith Durden as
pitcher were unani
mously chosen to repre
sent Robert Toombs
from the Lady Crusader
softball team. Freshman
Pitcher Meredith Durden
was selected as the Re
gion Player of the Year.
These Ladies helped
RTCA finish the season
as the 5th ranked team in
AA this year. Coach
Fitzgerald said, "With a
full summer to work this
year, we had a tremen
dous improvement espe
cially from our middle of
the field defense. We
were able to cut our er
rors by over half from last
season, and Meredith was
pretty dominant in the
circle. Offensively, we
were able to score 35
more runs in fewer games
than we did last year. Our
girls really worked hard
to get themselves in a
position to be ranked 5th
in the state. I am excited
about the growth we had
and the potential for our
future."
Two Lady Crusaders
were selected to All State
Team. Senior shortstop
Graham and Freshman
catcher Thomas were se
lected to the GISA AA
All State Team. Graham
led the crusaders offense
with a .508 batting aver
age and 31 runs scored
while driving in 23. De
fensively, she only had
five errors in over 50
chances on the season.
Freshman catcher
Thomas led the crusad
ers in RBI's with 30, and
was second on the team
with a batting average of
.407 while also leading
the crusaders in walks.
Coach Fitzgerald
added, "With a player
with the speed of Elbe
Graham, it is easy to see
why she hits so web. She
was a great table setter for
the middle of our lineup,
and was almost automatic
on defense. This girl is
gonna be hard for us to
replace next season. As
good as she was on the
field for us, she is an even
better person and student
who represents her fam
ily and school with class.
“Railee Thomas as an
8th grader last year really
made a name for herself.
She led us offensively in
almost every category.
She continued that suc
cess this year offensively,
despite the fact she was
always pitched to with
extreme caution. Leading
our team in extra base
hits, walks and RBI's was
obviously great, but I was
most pleased with how
much better she played
for us defensively. She
has all the tools to be a
special player. Looking
forward to helping her
develop her talent in the
future at RTCA."
