games, entering the state record books. In 49 innings pitched, she has

Karys, who has been playing varsity since the eighth grade and at one
time was
an award-winning gymnast, had an extremely productive sophomore softball
season, when she went 19-4 in the circle with 173 strikeouts and a 1.93
ERA.
She was also one of the most productive hitters on the team with a .416
batting
average with 13 home runs and 40 RBI. She finished 18th in the state for
homeruns, 23rd in the state for wins. She was named first team all-NKAC

also
named to the 33rd District all-tournament team.
A 4.0 student who is active in community service, Karys also plays for a

coach her the past seven years."
