A week after earning Butler Eagle Softball Player of the Year, Knoch sophomore’s Emersyn Jones is an all-state first team selection.

The standout shortstop and pitcher for the Knights is one of six Butler County athletes to make the Pennsylvania High School Softball Coaches Association All-State teams, announced Monday.

Jones hit .508 with eight home runs and 22 RBIs at the plate while striking out 57 batters with a 0.78 ERA in 36 innings in the circle. The effort earned her the top mark in the county’s all-star team.

Karns City’s Nicole Huff, a junior shortstop, made the Class 3A first team, and Seneca Valley senior outfielder Paige Volz made the 6A first team. Huff hit .532 with 33 RBIs, 34 runs scored and five home runs. Volz hit .464 and is heading to the University of California (Pa.).

Both made the Butler Eagle all-county team.

Joining them on the all-state teams as second-teamers were: in 6A, Seneca Valley catcher Neve Miller and pitcher/first baseman/outfielder Abby Kalkowski, as a utility player; and in 3A, Karns City senior pitcher/second baseman Addison Burrows, as a utility player.

Burrows hit .426 with 20 RBIs. Kalkowski, a Gannon commit, hit .379, and Miller, a senior who also played catcher, hit .373 and is heading to Waynesburg. All three were also Butler Eagle all-county honorees.
