Posted

Three Chatham County student-athletes were honored recently by the North Carolina Coaches Association for their efforts in the 2019 spring softball season.

Hannah Weigle of Northwood and Emery Moore and LeeAnn Lilly of Jordan-Matthews, all recent graduates, picked up awards.

Weigle was chosen to the 3A All-State team for her efforts in the spring, both on the mound and at the plate.

Offensively, Weigle batted .523 with 34 hits in 75 plate appearances while scoring 12 runs, slamming three doubles and a triple, and driving in 30 runs.

On the mound, Weigle went 12-7 with a sharp ERA of 2.36 in 98 innings pitched. She allowed 70 runs but only 33 were earned, while yielding just 12 walks and striking out 157.

Moore and Lilly, meanwhile, were tabbed to the All-District 5 2A squad, which is comprised of players from Chatham, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, Caswell, Forsyth, Davidson, Alamance and Guilford counties.

Moore posted a .367 batting average in 2019 with 20 hits, 14 runs, a homer and seven doubles while driving in 18 runs. Lilly collected a .363 average at the plate for the Lady Jets and slammed five doubles and scored 10 runs in 2019. Lilly also drove in 11 runs during her senior campaign.
