Laura Smartt and Kasey Myers playing softball at Grundy County High School greatly helps two team averages – the batting and grade point averages.
Smartt is co-valedictorian of the 2010 class with a 4.0 GPA. Myers is next at 3.829.
Smartt batted .390 and drove in 20 runs when Grundy County went 24-9 last season. Myers batted .340 a year ago with 15 RBIs.
“I’m competitive at everything,” Smartt said. “I’ve been told that by a bunch of people. I play to win. I don’t play to have fun.”
She conceded that it’s fun when the Lady Yellow Jackets win, and they’re off to a 6-2 start this season.
