Through the program, the NFCA honors high school and collegiate softball teams for their success in the classroom.
“I am obviously extremely proud of the players’ hard work in the classroom,” said Anderson head coach Tommy Hewitt. “It’s a confirmation to the parents and future recruits that we are serious about academics as well as softball. It’s also an individual commitment by each player to the team. That’s what makes a team.”
