1A HONORS: Thunderbirds’ Bryl does it all, earns MVP honors
It’s hard to imagine Brandi Bryl doing much more for Indian Springs’ softball team.
The senior pitcher went 25-1 with a 1.69 ERA and 172 strikeouts in 136 1/3 innings, leading the Thunderbirds (25-1) to their second straight Class 1A state title. Bryl also batted .651 with five home runs and 67 RBIs.
For her value from the batter’s box to the pitcher’s circle, coaches recently voted Bryl the Class 1A Southern League Most Valuable Player.
Coach of the Year went to Indian Springs’ Steve Lawson.
