The next leg of the journey is just beginning for Edgewood senior Emmah Clement.
She is taking her softball talents to Chattahoochee Valley State Community College. It’s a sport Clement has been playing since she was two years old.
“I was always around the fields with my older brother,” Clement said. “It's been fun coming to Edgewood and finding the family here that I've always looked for in high school, and then getting to go to Chattahoochee Valley afterwards. It means a lot.”
Coach Ashley Coleman said Clement is a great teammate always doing the little things.
“I remember she ran down the line one game,” Coleman said. “She was just excited. She got an RBI. She didn't care if she got out. She was more worried about getting a run in for a team.”
Clement is rarely on the bench. She is at one of the corners when not in the circle pitching or catching.
“It's fun because I never get a moment on the bench and I love being on the field,” Clement said. “I'd rather be on the field than in the dugout. So it means a lot to be able to be able to go to different positions. I get to help the team in other ways than just pitching and hitting.”
Clement will likely play fellow senior and current teammate Lilly Stubbs in college. Stubbs signed with Wallace State Community College in Dothan.
“I will just be friendly competition,” Clement said. “Obviously, we both have a very big urge to win against each other. So we’ll just see how the games go.”
