Tioga County Sports Report
TIOGA COUNTY — The Newark Valley softball team landed a trio of IAC Small School South first team all-stars and placed another on the second team.
Senior pitcher Joslyn Wright, junior first baseman Laura Ludwig and catcher Kaitlyn Keith, who is only a 7th-grader, are the Cardinals’ first-team picks.
NV’s Rosie Wandell was chosen to the second team.
Newark Valley went 5-9 overall during an up-and-down season. The Cardinals swept a three-game series from Groton and went 2-1 against Newfield. Their youthful team (only three seniors) also produced double digits in the run column in seven games.
Ludwig was a second team selection in 2023.
