Emily Spears

My name is Emily Spears , and I am a 2025 MIF/ OF with a consist right handed bat. I currently play for the Lady Dukes 18u - Swope, and attend Shaler Area High School.  After playing this sport for 10 plus years, I’ve have gained confidence in my ability to push my myself and preserve through what ever conflict may come my way whether it’s on the field or off. Faith is a very important component in my life. I’ve learned to begin to play for an Audience of One, and put my trust in Jesus Christ through every situation. 

Recently my high school softball team and I placed 2nd in the 2023 PIAA State Championship. Being apart of this team was one of the most rewarding accomplishments of my life. Being able to be on the starting line up for such a successful team has made me appreciate the hard work of my team mates and myself. In that same season, I received First Team All Section for Designated Hitting in the Class 5A. This award was presented to me during regular season. I will continue to strive for nothing but the best in my upcoming high school and travel seasons. 

My athletic and academic career does not just stop at softball. I am currently on my high schools varsity volleyball team and have been involved with this program since 6th grade. This sport’s dynamic has taught me that team must always come first and tests my agility and endurance in every game. I have had a consistent 4.0 GPA through my high school career along with leading a christian group at my school called Shaler Area SOZO. I’m currently involved in the Latin National Honors Society and take 2 AP Classes and 2 CHS Classes. I plan to study nursing and work within the PICU when I am older!
