Cox’s head coach Mark Barousse called him a “great kid” and “hard worker,” adding that he “always does what is best for the team.”
Stucker, also a junior, ended the softball season 13-1 with an ERA of 1.77, pitching a total of 83 innings, while striking out 86 and only walking 10. She also maintained a batting average of .350 with 16 RBIs and three homeruns. She made first team All-Conference and All-District, and was the SEMO Conference Player of the Year.
