When pitcher Aubrey Allen transferred from New Life Christian, the Elmore County softball team knew it was getting some extra talent for its pitching rotation. Allen said she was not sure how well she would do in her first few games but after a month of the season, she has proven herself in the circle.

“Coming from a small private school, there wasn’t that same competition I have now,” Allen said. “I was a little nervous at first but I work very hard to be the best I can be so it has been fun to just get out there and start pitching.”
