Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum made history after he became the franchise's youngest-ever player to reach 10,000 points.
David Mundee Sitting next to the signing table in the Slocomb High School Media Center was a basket filled with yellow softballs. The softballs were all the home run balls hit by Slocomb’s Gracie Ward during her five years on the RedTops varsity team.
In addition to her offense, Ward is also known as a speedy outfielder, playing mostly in centerfield. She has also been a catcher and a middle infielder during her career. Ward, who began playing softball when she was 5 years old in rec ball, chose the South Alabama program in Mobile over interest from Troy, the University of West Florida, Montevallo and several junior colleges
This past spring, Ward, in 31 games, hit .463 for Slocomb with an .564 on-base percentage, six homers, 10 doubles and three triples, while driving in 37 runs from her No. 3 spot in the batting order. She helped the RedTops to a 17-14 record.
