The Southeastern Fastpitch League (SEFL)<\/a>\u00a0is excited to spotlight Alena Ball in our Alliance Player Recognition Program as our June Player of the Month. For the remainder of the 2021 season, the SEFL will highlight Players of the Month from each different age group.<\/p>\n

Alena is from Kennesaw, GA where she attends Harrison High School. While playing at Harrison High, Alena clenched the leadoff spot hitting .500 in the month of May, her OBP was .581, she scored 14 runs, was 8 for 8 in stolen bases, and had her first over the fence homerun! Her performance of being a pure slapper has allowed her to thrive through adversity and has helped her evolve in to becoming a true triple threat at the plate.<\/p>\n

During the summer, Alena plays for Georgia Academy Power \u2013 Tunon. She is a 2022 graduate and is committed George Mason University!<\/p>\n

Congratulations<\/span>\u00a0to Alena Ball from 16U Georgia Academy Power \u2013 Tunon, for being recognized as the June SEFL Player of the Month!<\/p>\n

What is the Alliance Fastpitch Player Recognition Program?<\/strong>
\n<\/b>The Player Recognition Program was built to recognize and spotlight our individual players in each Member League. Each month, registered Alliance Fastpitch coaches can nominate a player from their age division. League Leadership will review nominations and a monthly stats report from AthletesGoLive (AGL) to determine the League\u2019s Player of the Month.<\/p>\n

Following the announcement of each League\u2019s Players of the Month, the Alliance Fastpitch will recognize a National Player of the Month.<\/p>\n

To be considered for Player of the Month, your team must score League games in AGL so your stats will be included in the League\u2019s monthly report.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
