3A "Player
of the Year"
Ashley
Nilsen, graduating senior at Hailey’s Wood River High School, has been
selected as Idaho Class 3A "Player of the Year," in fast-pitch
softball by the Times-News newspaper based in Twin Falls.
Sidelined
by a knee injury for entire junior season, Nilsen enjoyed a terrific
senior year for Wood River. A strong leader, she also hit .532 with 38
runs scored and 34 RBI and played several positions on defense.
Nilsen’s
all-around play sparked Wood River to a state tournament appearance in
the 2002 campaign.
Making
the Times-News All-Area First Team covering the south central Idaho area
in the 5A, 4A, 3A and 2A ranks were Wood River graduating senior B.J.
Adams at second base and junior Joni Chatterton at catcher.
The
second-team shortstop was graduating senior Laurel Williams.
