NATALIE SHUBERT – LUMPKIN COUNTY

Natalie Shubert had a stellar week both at the plate and in the circle last week. The senior pitcher and catcher led Lumpkin County by going 5-for-7 at the plate, good for a .714 batting average. She drove in six runs and notched a double. She was arguably more dominant in the circle, going 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 16 strikeouts across 11 innings of work. This is Shubert’s first POW award.

TAYLOR SPIVEY – JEFFERSON

Senior Taylor Spivey came up HUGE with a walkoff hit against Oconee County for the Lady Dragons last week. That was just part of her great effort, as the firstbaseman hit .667 (4-for-6), including three RBIs. Spivey earns her second career POW award.
