2009 Review
The Lady Mounties completed another successful year in 2009. The young team finished 3rd in the 7-A West standings behind Fayetteville and Bentonville earning another trip to the state playoffs. Playing many true freshman led to some early growing pains, but as the year progressed those young players gained more and more confidence and began to play better.
The unquestioned leader of the team was Ashley Brown who was named All-State. Ashley finished her career with the most runs scored with 73 in her four year career. She is number four all time with a batting average of .472 for the 2009 season. Lastly, her 75 career hits placed her fourth all time for the Lady Mounties.
Katie Walker led Rogers with 15 wins in the circle. Opponents batted .224 against her for the year. She also had 165 strikeouts on the season. Walker plans to further her pitching career at Carl Albert Jr. College.
Ashley Ferguson had arguably the greatest freshman season in school history. Her batting average was .329. She scored 25 runs from the leadoff postion which was 7th best for a single season. Her 29 hits was the 9th best in school history. Additionaly she had the highest fielding percentage among the starting players while playing shorstop.
Hannah Slaughter hit .320 and led the team with 20 rbi. on the season. Much will be expected of her during her senior season both from a productivity and leadership standpoint.
