Four Bravettes honored by SICL coaches

Madison Van Zee waiting at the plate.

Four Bravettes were honored by being included in the various SICL all-conference teams chosen by the league’s coaches.

Senior pitcher Kallie Robison was the only Montezuma player chosen to either the first or second teams. She was placed on the second team.

Chloe Snook and Madison Van Zee were on the honorable mention list.

And, senior Kalynn Wanders got the Golden Award, given to an injured player who likely was an all-SICL pick had she been healthy.
