We’re barely two weeks into the high school softball season, but already a home run race is brewing amongst local players.
Greencastle-Antrim’s Meadow Gambacurta and Chambersburg’s Addison Gsell have come out swinging this spring, with Gambacurta belting three home runs and Gsell crushing two of her own. The slugging duo lead a group of 10 area girls who have gone deep this season.
On the baseball diamond, Smithsburg’s Mason Oates had a big week and now leads the Local.News1 coverage area with a .615 batting average, while also ranking among local leaders in doubles, home runs, runs, and RBI.
Our track and field leaderboards also had a major shakeup after multiple invitationals last weekend. Waynesboro’s Ben Williams, Smithsburg’s Jenna Howe, and North Hagerstown’s Rian Johnson all lead the area in multiple events.
Our spring sports leaderboard is based on stats reported to maxpreps.com, athletic.net, and GameChanger. Is your team not represented on this list? Shoot Andy Sandrik an email at [email protected] and point us in the right direction.
