Webster, N.Y. Those who have had the opportunity to watch the Webster Schroeder softball team play the past two seasons probably noticed the contributions of A
Ava West , pictured here with teammates Sarah Ferruzza and Carley Casteline , was born with Ebstein's Anomaly, a congenital heart condition, where her tricuspid valve was malformed and too low in her left ventricle. Her valve was too tiny to replace so doctors opted to do an oversew called the Starnes procedure, where they closed off the blood flow to that ventricle and redid the plumbing until she was old enough to undergo a surgery where a more permanent solution could be created.
A sure-handed centerfielder with good speed, West could cover gap-to-gap on defense and ignite the Warriors’ offense as a second lead-off hitter batting in the No. 9 spot. Steady, if not spectacular, West helped Schroeder to a 21-3 record, the Section V Class AA championship and a berth in the state quarterfinals as a senior.
“She was huge for us,” Schroeder coach Meaghan Keil said. “She worked hard. She’s a very quiet kid, very reserved, but she has a lot of respect from the kids. She’s funny and she’s a great teammate. She’s not going to be your vocal leader, but she leads by example every day. I can’t sing her praises enough.
West ranked fourth on the team with a .355 batting average while racking up 22 hits, including seven doubles, scoring 15 runs and notching 10 RBI while compiling an OPS of .912.
