BIRMINGHAM – Hewitt-Trussville stars swept the state’s most prestigious high school baseball and softball awards Sunday.
Riley Quick won Mr. Baseball and Kenleigh Cahalan was named Miss Softball, marking the first time two players from the same school won the awards in the same year.
They were honored Sunday at the Alabama Sports Writers Association’s annual convention.
Quick and Cahalan are also the first Mr. Baseball and Miss Softball winners from Hewitt-Trussville.
Piedmont junior Jack Hayes was also a selection on the Super All-State Baseball Team. Pike Road’s Jada Roberts also won the ASWA’s Jimmy Smothers Courage Award, which recognizes an athlete who overcame adversity and starred for their school.
Quick, an Alabama signee, was 13-1 with an 0.92 ERA this season. In 83 2/3 innings, the right-hander gave up 40 hits with 37 walks and 130 strikeouts.
Cahalan, a junior infielder, batted .549 with 13 home runs and 66 RBIs in 54 games. She compiled a .672 on-base percentage and, with 40 extra-base hits, slugged 1.042.
Roberts shined for Pike Road in both girls basketball and soccer while also helping take care of a young nephew who was diagnosed with a rare, life-threatening respiratory condition.
She was a multi-year starting point guard in basketball and started this season at goalkeeper in soccer. In basketball, Roberts averaged 10 points and five assists this year for the Patriots, who reached the Class 5A regional semifinals.
