Softball players to watch

Cory Mattson

Everett

Senior Pitcher



Mattson has already set school records for career strikeouts (with 633) and career victories (with 54), accomplishments that become all the more impressive when you realize she has yet to play a single game of her senior year. Mattson helped the Seagulls to three straight state tournament berths (Everett went 2-2 in state last year as 3A District 1's second seed) and will play for the University of North Carolina-Greensboro Spartans next year. The winner of the Herald's Softball Player of the Year award as a sophomore in 2006, Mattson also knows a thing or two about offense, having set school records for home runs in a season, triples in a season, doubles in a season and runs batted in in a season.

Becca Bean

Lakewood

Senior Catcher



Becca Bean made First Team All-League in the Cascade Conference as freshman, and did it again last year as a junior. A four-year starter, Bean led the Cougars last year in hits, stolen bases and runs scored, and set a Lakewood record by posting a .493 batting average.

Ashley Todd

Jackson

Senior Shortstop



Ashley Todd is a four-year starter for Jackson and a 2007 First Team Wesco South selection. Coach Michael Moran calls Todd "one of the most respected players in all of Wesco both on and off the field," and credits the senior with being a fundamental part of Jackson's success (the Timberwolves have won Wesco South every year Todd has played and earned District 1 state berths in 2005 and 2007.) A member of the Lake Breeze Gold ASA Summer Team, Todd has accepted a scholarship to play for Penn State University in 2009.

Elizabeth Jusko

Snohomish

Senior Infielder



Utility player Elizabeth Jusko was a First Team Wesco North selection last year as a designated hitter. In 2007 Jusko contributed a .414 batting average, a .552 slugging percentage, a .476 on-base percentage and had a team-high eight doubles.

Jordan Birch

Monroe

Senior Pitcher

Briar Stanley

Monroe

Junior Catcher



What do you get when you combine a pitcher that won The Herald's 2007 Softball Player of the Year award with a catcher that leads her team in batting percentage, home runs and RBI? If you are the Monroe Bearcats, you get the deadly one-two punch that led to a 4A District 1 championship in 2007. Jordan Birch pitched the first perfect game in Monroe's history against Everett last season, and followed that up by pitching another one against Cascade a few weeks later. The Illinois State-bound senior faced 671 batters, threw 271 strikeouts and doled out just 20 walks while posting a minuscule 0.36 ERA. Briar Stanley added a .425 batting average and 22 RBI and batted 2-for-3 with three RBI in an April match against Everett ace Cory Mattson.
