Three FDS pitchers, Jojo Meunier, Julie Marks and Tess Rubega were selected by the CHSCA as All State players last week at the annual banquet held at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington, CT.
JoJo Menuier was selected to this years CHSCA All State team in Class S. She pitched her Somers High School team to the semifinals in the CIAC State Tournament. Her record was 19-7, an ERA of .99, threw 2 x no-hitters, 2 x one-hitters and 8 x two-hitters this season. The most notable statistic for JoJo, she struck out 314 batters during the season.
Julie Marks, who was also selected All State in 2008, was again recognized for her outstanding season, posting an 18-2 record for Granby Memorial High School, had a stingy ERA of .72 and struck out 237 batters. Julie who had an outstanding 4 year career at Granby, will continue her education at Central Connecticut State University and be pitching for the Blue Devils.
Tess Rubega, was also selected to the All State Academic team by the CHSCA. In 4 years at Norwich Free Academy, Tess's GPA was a stellar 3.98. Not only did Tess apply herself in the classroom but she also contributed in the circle having one of the lowest ERA's in Connecticut this season, at .98. All her hard work and diligence in the classroom and on the playing field paid big dividends for Tess and she will be attending Babson College in September.
Outstanding work, ladies!
