CARTERVILLE, Ill. — Caidence Phillips has done something no other softball player in the state can claim this year: the Carterville standout was named the Gatorade Illinois Softball Player of the Year, according to WPSD Local 6.
WPSD did not report additional details on Phillips' season statistics or what the award criteria entail in the item reviewed by this bureau.
A hometown kid making a statewide list is the sort of thing worth putting on the water tower.
