PAIGE VICKERY – COMMERCE

Paige Vickery has gotten off to a blistering start to the 2022 season. She’s putting up Player of the Year type of numbers. Last week is the latest exhibit of that. She batted .583, which is insane, going 7-for-12. That included 2 homers, which gives her 4 already on the season. She added 8 RBI, 7 runs, 2 doubles, 2 triples, and 2 walks in 3 games of work. Those are video game numbers. The Lady Tigers senior shortstop earns her first POW award.

MARY LOVELL – RABUN COUNTY

Senior centerfielder Mary Lovell had a stellar showing for the Lady Wildcats last week. The Rabun County standout went 5-for-9 at the plate, good for a .556 average. She had a homerun, 4 RBI, and 2 doubles, posting a 1.667 OPS in 3 games. This is her second career POW award.
