A 5-foot-7 first baseman/third baseman, Stribling hit .257 this past fast-pitch season for head coach Susan Frazier’s 7-11 Division 5-5A runners-up. The defensive standout also compiled a .967 fielding percentage playing primarily at first base. Last fall in her final slow-pitch campaign for MHS, Stribling batted .437 and fielded at a .988 clip in helping lead the 21-13 Lady Wildcats to the Class 5A South State championship and state runner-up finish for the second consecutive year. During her junior slow-pitch season, Stribling hit .303 with 20 runs batted in as a member of Meridian’s state runner-up ballclub. Having competed in varsity softball since the ninth grade, she has also participated in the State Games of Mississippi. An active member of the Boys & Girls Club of Lauderdale County, Stribling is the daughter of Willie Hart and Phyllis Stribling of Meridian. Stribling joins previously announced EMCC softball signees Leigh Ellen Barefield (Neshoba Central HS), Megan Ladner (Poplarville HS), Chelsea Theriot (Poplarville HS), DeShuni Sanders (Hew Hope HS), Mallory Pace (Northeast Lauderdale HS), Justine Jenkins (Caledonia HS), Katie Newman (Oak Hill Academy), Courtney Castleberry (Clarkdale HS), and Celeste Fontenot (Brusly [La.] HS). |
