Brad Kolwyck

School: Kelly

Class: Sophomore

Sport: Baseball

Position: Center Field

Coach: Mike Scott

Week report: Kolwyck went 6-for-11 (.545) with five RBI's as Kelly completed an undefeated string of four games to improve to 6-1. The Hawks won the inaugural Quad-State Tournament in Anna (Ill.) with a pair of 4-0 wins in the round-robin tourney. Kolwyck had Kelly's only two hits in a win over Anna-Jonesboro. He also went 3-for-3 with four RBIs in a 14-4 win over Charleston on Thursday.

On the season: In just his second season of varsity baseball, Kolwyck is batting .471 (8-for-17) with a team-leading eight RBIs. Kolwyck's RBI total is even more impressive considering he bats anywhere from the sixth to ninth positions in the Hawks' explosive batting order. Last year he batted .297 and was a key contributor down the stretch in the Hawks' state-playoff run.

Coach's comments: "Brad's just a good, young baseball man. He has baseball in his blood. He plays a very good defensive outfield and has a natural instinct for judging a fly ball. Brad will be one the top players in the area for the next few years. He's got a good, quick bat."

Jill Little

School: Chaffee

Class: Sophomore

Sport: Softball

Position: First Base-Left Field

Little had two hits and four RBIs in Monday's 26-1 rout of St. Vincent. Wednesday she totaled two hits and two RBIs in an 11-1 win over Delta. Little ended the week Thursday with a spectacular 4-for-4 performance with two doubles, a home run and five RBIs in a 28-4 pounding of Scott County Central.

On the season: In her first season as a full-time starter, Little has been one of the Lady Devils' top run producers. Batting in the fourth or fifth slot, Little is batting .563 with 13 RBIs.

Coach's comments: "Jill had a tremendous week. She's a very good athlete and has already made a lot of improvements. If she continues to improve like she has she'll be a tremendous player for us by the time she graduates."
