Geneva standout Makaley Boswell delivered production in all facets as one of the top two-way softball players in the Wiregrass this past year.
Wicksburg head coach Josh Cox, meanwhile, delivered the best team turnaround from last year and nearly guided his team to a state title.
Sharing pitching time with teammate Katlyn Conner, Boswell amassed a 13-3 pitching record with three saves and a 1.56 ERA. She also had 1.02 WHIP , while striking out 147 batters to average 10 strikeouts per seven innings. Bell said Boswell was a valuable player in many regards, but felt her offensive ability and presence was most dangerous to opponents.
Her efforts helped Geneva to a 31-5 record, but the Panthers hit a stumbling block in the Class 4A, Area 3 Tournament and were shockingly ousted in three games.“I felt it went really well,” Boswell said. “I feel at the beginning, it was a little shaky, but as we went throughout the season, I felt we got stronger as a team. We came up short at the end. It was just a bad day. The rest of the season went really well. I liked how we all started to come together towards the end.
“It is really amazing,” Boswell said. “It is also relieving because I feel like it is a great way to end my senior season and for how hard I worked the past two years and for as long as I have been here . To end like this way is really amazing and it is good to know I get to end it this way.”Wicksburg’s softball team came within a hit or two from a possible a state title.
