All-state softball pitcher Emma Remy of West Des Moines Valley High School will enroll at Morningside College next fall and compete for the Mustangs announced Morningside softball head coach Jessica Jones-Sitzmann.
Remy earned first-team Class 4A all-state laurels last summer after she pitched West Des Moines Valley to a third place finish at Iowa’s Class 4A state tournament. Remy had an 18-2 record and allowed only nine earned runs all season for a microscopic earned run average of 0.53. She allowed only 49 hits in 119 innings and held the opposition to a paltry .120 batting average. Remy blew the ball past opposing hitters for 159 strikeouts and walked only 16 batters all season.
