After a 9-win season that left the Lady Indians just shy of the playoffs, Stephens County is heading into a new fall looking to get back into the postseason for the first time since 2020. Long-time coach Dave Poffenberger has given way to new coach Kasey Ivey.

Head Coach: Kasey Ivey, 1st season
2022 Record: 9-17; No Playoffs

“Our expectations are high,” says Ivey. “We plan to have a winning season and make a deep run in the state playoffs!”

Personnel

Returning Starters: 9 (11 players total returning)

Key Departures: N/A

Key Returning Players: Fayeth Ivester, JR SS Hallee Shirley, JR 2B Addison Vandal, JR IF Carson Stowe, JR P Riley Walker, JR OF Kylee Glaze, JR OF Maddie McGee (junior outfielder), SO 3B Nyleigh Hutto, FR Carley Funderburke, SR P Emerson LeCroy, OF Ally Means

A loaded junior class will be key to the success of the team. Incoming freshman Carley Funderburke has a big bat and will contribute right away, and move-in senior Emerson LeCroy will also be a major factor.

Strengths

Strengths: “We have several girls with speed and a couple of girls with big bats!,” exclaims Ivey.
