Three members of the 中国P站 (NPC) Nighthawk softball team (34-20) were
named to the 2022-23 NJCAA Division II All-Region team this week for their outstanding
performance on the field this season.

honors. Hayes led the Nighthawks in hits (77) and stolen bases (41), setting single-season
records in both categories, while boasting a .405 batting average. This season, the
sophomore became NPC鈥檚 all-time leader in runs scored (105), hits (140) and stolen
bases (72).
鈥淓mma picked up right where she left off last year and did not skip a beat,鈥� NPC head
softball coach Autumn Wyatt said. 鈥淪he stepped up big time for us as a leader and
served as a spark plug at the top of the lineup as well as on defense.鈥�
Freshman second baseman Reagan White (Carrollton, Texas) picked up All-Region
infielder honors. White led NPC in runs scored (54) and finished second on the team
in stolen bases (39), while boasting a team-high .473 slugging percentage and an impressive
.423 batting average.
鈥淩eagan made a statement with her bat, her speed and her defense,鈥� Wyatt said. 鈥淒espite
being thrown into a new position just weeks before the season, she embraced the challenge
and thrived!鈥�
Freshman catcher Gracie Redmon (Benton) rounded out the awards with All-Region catcher
honors. Batting .305 this season, Redmon scored 29 runs on 39 hits for the Nighthawks
this season, while contributing six doubles, three home runs, 21 walks and 27 RBI.
Defensively, the freshman finished the season with a .996 fielding percentage, while

鈥淕racie is one tough young lady,鈥� Wyatt said. 鈥淎s our main catcher, she was a confident,
commanding presence behind the plate. I am proud of her resilience and effort all
year!鈥�
