Eight Eagles earn all-district softball honors
By JON FULBRIGHT
Staff Writer
Pecos Eagles senior catcher Rebecca Wein was named the Most Valuable
Player for District 2-4A in softball, and pitcher Stephanie Herrera was
named the district's outstanding defensive player in voting by the district's
six coaches.
Three other Pecos starters were named to the first team 2-4A squad and
three more were second team selections for the Eagles, who won the district
title for the fourth consecutive season.
The list was release following this past weekend's playoff losses by
Pecos to San Angelo Lake View and by Fabens to Andrews in the area round
of the Class 4A playoffs.
Wein was the outstanding defensive player on last year's all-district
team and has been name to the team all four seasons on the Eagles' varsity.
This year, she led the team in both batting and extra base hits, as Pecos
went 10-0 in district and 14-5 on the season.
Herrera was 9-0 in district games and 13-3 overall in earning her second
straight first team 2-4A selection. She had three one-hit games in district,
and received the defensive award for her fielding work on both bunts and
balls hit back to the mound during district play.
The other first team selections were first baseman Jessica Rodriguez,
second baseman Danielle Garcia and left fielder Neftali Salgado. Rodriguez,
like Wein and Herrera, was a repeat all-district pick at first base this
season from the 2001 team, while Salgado was an honorable mention selection
a year ago in the outfield, and Garcia made the first team as a freshman
this year.
Two of the three honorable mention selections also are freshmen, third
baseman Katie Lee and rightfielder Kelsey Flores. Lee started most of the
Eagles' games at third base this season, though she and Garcia had to spend
time at shortstop late in the season, while Flores played most of her 2-4A
games in the outfield, then was at both second and third base in the final
regular season games.
Sophomore Bre'Ann Windham is the other second team pick for the Eagles,
as centerfielder. She split time in the outfield last year with Salgado,
and took over the centerfield spot this season after starter Kathy Maldonado
was injured.
Second place San Elizario also had five players chosen to the first-team
all-district squad, including junior Valerie Soto, who was named Outstanding
Pitcher for the second year in a row. Fabens, the third place finisher,
has three players selected along with Clint, with the Lions' senior Marissa
Arnold earning Outstanding Offensive Player honors.
San Eli also had senior catcher Reba Madrid, junior shortstop Vicki
Treviso, junior second baseman April Valencia and freshman outfielder Carla
Garcia named to the first team. Clint's Arnold was joined by two other
seniors, shortstop Jennie Parada and second baseman Yvette Maldonado, while
Fabens put senior pitcher Regina Villalobos, junior outfielder Samantha
Arrellano and sophomore shortstop Nancy Ramirez on the first team.
The other first team selections were Canutillo senior Maria Hurtado
at shortstop and junior Cassandra Cisneros at pitcher, and senior shortstop
Vanessa Sanchez and freshman outfielder Brenda Beltran from El Paso Mountain
View.
The other second team selections were San Eli sophomores Valerie Valencia
and Debbie Ayala at first and third base; Fabens seniors Marisol Maya and
Stephanie Olivas at outfield and shortstop; Clint junior first baseman
Nancy Almanza, Canutillo junior second baseman Janice Marquez and Mountain
View senior catcher Luisa Alvarado.
