Elizabeth "E" Koch

E was apart of the 2025 Franklin High School Athletic Hall of Fame induction class. E is the first and only FHS Softball player to be named to such honor. E was part of our 2020 graduating class and a large reason for the success Franklin Softball saw in the 2018 and 2019 season. 

In 2019, E's junior season, she threw over 70 innings appearing in 19 of 23 games, finishing the season with a 10-2 record. In those 19 games she allowed only 40 hits, 11 earned runs, while striking out 98 batters, which was good for a school record 1.39 ERA. Opponents had a .161 batting average against E. This season long performance is a large reason why we placed 2nd in the SEC conference, behind state qualifying Oak Creek, and won regionals for the second year in a row. E earned first team All-Conference in the SEC, First Team All-District, and First Team All-State in 2019 as well. Her season 1.39 ERA is still a school record to this day. 

After high school, E went on to play D3 softball at Trine University where she earned a degree Marine Biology. E currently resides in Arizona where she uses her degree working at a local zoo.
