Callie Turner, a rising junior at Land O’ Lakes High School, was recently selected to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-South Region First-Team.
The NFCA awards honor softball student-athletes from the association’s five regions with first- and second-team recognition; member coaches from each region’s respective committees selected the honorees.
Turner, a University of Tennessee softball commit, is one of 160 student-athletes representing 93 programs to receive 2017 NFCA High School All-Region accolades.
Besides Turner, just two other players from Florida received honors— Canterbury’s Danielle Romanello and Taylor Bump.
Turner, the Miracle Sports Class 6A Pitcher of the Year and one of the state’s most dominant aces, helped guide Land O’ Lakes (29-3) to its first fastpitch title in May.
She won 17 games, posting a 0.21 ERA and 249 strikeouts in 132.2 innings pitched.
In her 20 starts, Turner tallied 18 complete games, 10 shutouts and four no-hitters.
Also a standout hitter, she batted .319 with 14 RBIs.
