On Tuesday, it was announced by the South Carolina Coaches Association for Women's Sports that Chesnee's Maddie Handy earned the AA Softball Player of the Year award.
"It is such an honor to receive an award as big as this,” said Handy. “It reminds me of all the hard work and dedication that I have put into this sport and this is softball’s way of rewarding me. Thank you to all of my coaches and teammates who have pushed me to be the player I am today. And thank you Chesnee softball for a great senior season, I love this sport.” "This is a major accomplishment for Handy and our entire program,” said Chesnee head coach Tripp Fogle. “She has been with us for the last five seasons, and has worked hard to reach this point. We are proud of her." Handy closed out a stellar five year career with a strong senior season that led to her being named All-State and Region I-AA Player of the Year. She will also participate in the North/South All-Star Game on June 13th and 14th at USC Aiken as she has helped the Eagles win three straight region championships, and a pair of district championships in the last three seasons. Handy finished the season batting .397 with eleven extra base hits including a homer and 23 RBIs. In the circle, she had 15 wins with a school record 215 strikeouts and also had an impressive 12.6 to 1 strikeout to walk ratio. Handy will play collegiately at North Greenville University next year.
