Two locals named all-district

By Becky Walz,

A pair of area senior softball players were named all-district by the Iowa Girls Athletic Coaches Association.
Decorah’s Avery Shelton, along with Turkey Valley’s Aleah Hackman were recognized in the Northeast Iowa district. Both are first-time honorees.
Shelton gets her initial nod after earning her third All-NEIC honor. The senior went 13-4 this season on the pitcher’s mound. She produced a 2.64 earned run average, striking out 111 in 106 innings of work. Shelton was also strong at the plate. She hit .452 this season, with a .518 on-base percentage and .808 slugging mark. She pounded out six home runs, eight doubles and drove in a team-high 30 RBI.
Hackman was also a first team selection in the Upper Iowa Conference. Moving around the infield, the senior posted a .404 average, second on the Trojan squad. With 94 at-bats, she had 38 hits, including 15 doubles and drove in 41 runs. In addition, she had a .500 on-base percentage and .617 slugging mark. Stepping into the pitcher’s circle 15 times, Hackman had an 8-5 record and 3.84 ERA with 55 strikeouts.
