SHELTON STATE’S CAROLINE PAYNE NAMED TO ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM

Tuscaloosa, Alabama – Shelton State Community College (SSCC) softball player Caroline Payne was recently named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Tournament Team for the 2017 NFCA NJCAA Leadoff Classic. Payne was one of thirteen student athletes selected for outstanding play over three days of competition.

Originally from Madison, Alabama, Payne played at Clemens High School before becoming a member of the SSCC team. For the year, she is hitting .350 with five doubles, one triple, one homerun, and fourteen RBIs.

Payne’s coach, Buddy Boyle, is proud of his player. “Caroline is a talented infielder having a good freshman year,” said Boyle. “She helps us do many things on offense and defense and is very supportive of her teammates in any role she is asked to take.”
