Six Lady Tigers earn All-Region VI honors

Fresh off having eight players receive all-conference recognition, the Cowley College softball team had six players named All-Region VI performers on Tuesday.


Freshman pitcher Jacey Juden, freshman catcher Kashilia Young, freshman third baseman Breayle Tackett, and sophomore outfielder Colby Hart were each named first-team all-region, while freshman second baseman Sara Smith and sophomore outfielder Danielle Saylor-Perkins earned second-team honors.

“I thought it was good representation considering the season we had,” Cowley head coach Ed Hargrove said. “With four freshman that will be submitted for All-American, we have a pretty good group to build around.”

The players helped Cowley capture its fifth straight Jayhawk Conference Eastern Division title as the Lady Tigers finished the season with a record of 42-10 overall and 17-1 in the Jayhawk East.

Voting was conducted by coaches in Region VI.
