The Grant Union/Prairie City softball team pose with their medals and second-place trophy following the finals of the OSAA 2A/1A state championship game at Jane Sanders Stadium in Eugene on Friday, June 3, 2022.

JOHN DAY — The Oregon School Activities Association named six Grant Union/Prairie City softball players to the 2A/1A All-State Team, with two Lady Pros earning Co-Player and Co-Pitcher of the Year awards.

The Lady Prospectors had a stellar season, going 23-0 before dropping a non-league game at the close of the regular season, a 9-6 loss on the road at La Grande.

The squad steamrolled through the preliminary rounds of the playoffs, outscoring their opponents 34-1 in the first three games. However, in the end, they fell just short of a state title, losing 5-3 to Lakeview in the June 3 championship game in Eugene.

Riley Robertson, a graduating senior, was named Co-Player of the Year and a first team all-state catcher, while Drew Williams, a sophomore, was named Co-Pitcher of the Year and a first team all-state pitcher.

Along with Robertson and Williams, four other Lady Pros made the first team: senior Paige Gerry, first base; freshman Savannah Watterson, infielder; freshman Addy Northway, outfielder; and junior Raney Anderson, utility/designated player.
