Shults, Madison Make All-CIF Softball First Team

The Hart and Valencia softball teams were well represented on the All-CIF Division I teams. Hart’s Jessica Shults and Valencia’s Madison Shipman earned first team spots.
Two of Shults’ teammates made the All-CIF second team: pitcher Destiny Rodino, who threw a no-hitter in the CIF Division I playoffs, and second baseman Melissa Brown. Valencia’s Carly Mortensen, who took a no-hitter into the seventh inning of her first playoff game, was also named to the All-CIF second team.

Norco’s senior pitcher Tegan Gerhart was the CIF Division I player of the year. Norco eliminated Hart from the Division I playoffs in the semifinals.
In high school volleyball, Valencia’s Nick Ferry earned All-CIF Division II first team honors.
Teammates John Souisa earned second team honors and Daniel Johnson was on the third team. Jake Kneller from Westlake High School was the Division II player of the year.

About Connie Jones

Connie and her husband, John, moved to the Santa Clarita Valley almost 30 years ago. Living in Santa Clarita for that long is the direct opposite of Connie’s childhood. She was an Army ‘brat’ who moved every two to three years. Consequently, she has lived in many states and even spent three years in Europe. All three of her kids went to Santa Clarita schools. Connie says the best thing about her job at KHTS is that she is never bored. “If I’m not smiling, Carl is sure to ask why, just before giving me a mind-boggling project.” “KHTS AM-1220 is an integral part of our community and I’m glad to be a part of it. Besides, the DJs will take my request to play Shania Twain’s ‘Still the One’ for my wedding anniversary – gotta love that!”
