Our Pro Wire Athlete of the Week for the week of September 19 are the Vandalia Jr. High softball team, the South Central Middle School softball team and SEB volleyball junior Peyton Barker.
Vandalia Jr. High softball claimed the first ever Regional Championship in program history when they beat the home team Meridian Hawks 10-1 in the Championship of the IESA 2A Meridian Regional. Playing in their first ever Sectional Championship, the Lady Vandals put up a big fight but fell by a run, 4-3, to Gillespie. The VJHS Lady Vandals end their season with a record of 11-6.
South Central Middle School softball won their fifth straight Regional Championship with an 8-2 win over Neoga to take the title of the IESA 1A St. Elmo Regional. The Lady Falcons fell into a deep 10-3 hole in the Hutsonville Sectional Championship but never quit battling as they scored five runs in the top of the sixth inning to close the gap to 10-8 but their comeback run fell short with a two-run loss. The Lady Falcons finish their season with a record of 18-4.
Lady Eagles outside hitter Peyton Barker has become a true all around threat on the court as she has paired her outside hitting skills with her ability to defend against the opposing teams hitting attacks as well. Barker averaged 6 kills, 9.7 digs 1.3 aces and 1 block a game this week and currently leads SEB in kills and digs for the season and is second in aces.
