BYU Softball Signs T-Ville Star, Others
I am putting together a piece for the newspaper about the top sports moments in Utah in 2007, and I came across a candidate for my list: Taylorsville softball star Cyd Allen's unmatched home run prowess in last year's 5A state softball tournament.
It wasn't surprising, then, when I saw the list of players that BYU's softball program signed last month and noticed that T-Ville's Allen was at the top.
If she plays as well in college as she did last spring, the Cougars will have landed a phenomenal talent.
Allen, a catcher, is BYU's only in-state signee. She was the 5A MVP last year after leading the Warriors to the 5A title. Allen hit 12 home runs during the season and posted a .532 batting average.
Other BYU signees:
* Krista Hicks, an infielder from Mesa, Ariz.
* Tiffany Messerschmidt, an outfielder from Thousand Oaks, Calif.
* Jessica Dugas, an outfielder from Belle Flower, Calif.
* Coreen Lopez, a utility player from Riverside, Calif.
* Delaney Willard, a utility player from Camarillo, Calif.
"This is an exceptional recruiting class from top to bottom," said BYU coach Gordon Eakin. "It is one of the strongest classes we have had for our program and I think it is one of the best classes in the country."
