🎉 Congratulations, Lizzie Sapp! 🎉 Claxton Middle School's very own Lizzie Sapp has reached an extraordinary milestone in her softball journey! 🥎 The talented eighth-grader has been selected to represent Georgia in the USSSA National All State Tournament, which took place in Cocoa Beach, Florida, this week, December 28-31, 2024. Lizzie is 1 of only 15 girls chosen from Georgia for this prestigious event—an impressive feat considering her 14U division features a highly competitive pool of 324 athletes! A standout pitcher and utility player, Lizzie has developed her skills over three seasons with Claxton Middle School and multiple seasons of travel ball with Bulloch Elite. The tournament united top players from across the country, with Lizzie teaming up with athletes from New York, Ohio, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Illinois. Her selection is a true testament to her hard work, talent, and passion for the sport, marking her as one of the best young softball players in Georgia! 👏 Join us in congratulating Lizzie Sapp on this incredible achievement of proudly representing Georgia on the national stage!
