Russell's Casey Walker to play at Pikeville College
RUSSELL - A veteran of multiple positions will ply her craft at Pikeville College next season.
Russell High School senior Casey Walker signed a letter of intent to play softball for the Lady Bears next season in a ceremony at the school today.
Walker won 15 and lost only 6 as a junior for the Red Devils, striking out 116 while walking only 36. Her ERA was a miniscule 1.48 as she helped Russell to a 30-12 record in 2004.
In the field, she was just as skilled, compiling a .385 batting average with an on-base percentage of .401 while driving in 25. In addition, 15 of her 50 hits went for extra bases.
"We're very happy to have a player the caliber of Casey," said Coach Robert Staggs, whose Lady Bears finished the season 22-20, their first winning season in six years. "She brings a lot to the table and can help us in various ways. She'll be a nice addition to our club and will be a valuable member of the college community."
Walker has played for Russell since she was an eighth grader and already has for 16th region championships under her belt.
"Obviously, Casey comes from a winning program and that's something you cannot teach," said Staggs. "We're trying to instill a winning mentality here and it certainly helps when you get players such as Casey from a program like Russell."
Earlier this year, Betsy Layne High senior Kim Clark signed to play both basketball and softball for Pikeville College.
**Congrats Case, I love ya!!**
