<p class="text-gray-700">Emersyn Haney is already putting in the work, and it shows. Even though she's still years away from being eligible to commit to a Division I softball program, she's not waiting around. She's consistently training to improve her strength and speed, and she's a regular at camps that sharpen her game. A versatile defender at second base and in center field, Emersyn batted over .500 this summer with an on-base percentage above .600, and she didn't record a single error in the field all season. Her recent appearance at the All-American Games in OKC added another highlight to her growing resume, and it's clear she's building something special.</p>

One of just nine players from five Southeastern states invited to the final tryout for the Women's National 13U Team, Kolbie is making a name for herself on a national stage.

<p class="text-gray-700">Peyton White is the kind of athlete who checks every box, and then some. A multi-sport standout from the 2030 class, Peyton is already making waves behind the plate with an impressive 1.87 pop time. Her power at the plate is just as notable, with multiple home runs this past summer and a presence that commands attention. She helped lead her team to a 2025 Alliance Tier II National Championship at the 14U level, competing against some of the toughest talent in the country. Off the field, Peyton excels in the classroom, proving she's just as driven academically as she is athletically.
