CHARLESTON — Elkins High School’s Hailey Riffle and Gabby Mahanes have earned Class AAA all-state softball honors.

Riffle, a senior, is a second-team selection, while Mahanes, a junior, is listed as honorable mention.

Meanwhile, a fourth consecutive state softball title at Winfield paid dividends this season for the Generals, who landed three players on the first team.

Mattie Carroll, a senior pitcher who was part of three of those championships, was named first-team captain, as voted by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association at the conclusion of the state tournament.

Carroll was joined by Generals teammates catcher Rylee McClellan and outfielder Brooklyn Cole on the Class AAA first team.

Winfield was not only powered by Carroll’s pitching, but her bat as well. In the circle, the College of Charleston-bound Carroll tossed 180 2/3 innings this, appeared in 32 games and posted a 22-7 record, with two saves in two opportunities. She struck out 220 hitters on the way to being named Most Valuable Player in the Class AAA state tournament.

At the plate, Carroll had a .364 batting average (40 for 110) and eight doubles, a triple, two home runs and a team-high 29 RBIs.

Keyser infielder Bibs Felton earned much consideration for top billing as well after her offensive numbers helped the Golden Tornado to a 25-8 record this season.

Felton led Class AAA and finished in the top five in the state in four offensive categories – batting average, slugging percentage, on-base percentage and home runs.

The junior batted .626 to top Class AAA and place fourth overall in the state, had a slugging percentage of 1.286 (No. 1 in AAA, fourth overall), a .706 on-base percentage (first in AAA, third overall) and 12 home runs (No. 1 in AAA, fifth overall).

Additionally, Felton had 57 hits, 12 doubles, six triples and 38 RBIs and scored 44 runs while helping Keyser to the state tournament.

A shortstop who also played some at second base, Felton had a .918 fielding percentage this season.

Felton’s teammate Leighton Johnson was also selected as one of the three pitchers with Carroll to lead the All-State first team. Lily Dijkstra from John Marshall rounded out that list.

Keyser’s Brielle Root was a first-team catcher, along with McClellan. Rounding out the first-team infield was Point Pleasant’s Chloe Patrick, Kaylee White of John Marshall, Ayva Veltri of Herbert Hoover and Abbie Jeffers of Lincoln County.

Hoover’s Bella Haas joined Cole and Greenbrier East’s Reagan Cline as first-team outfielders.

Utility spots were awarded to two players from PikeView. Shelby Maddox, a sophomore, and Emma Compton, a junior, rounded out the first team.

Maddox and Dijkstra were the only sophomores on the first team.

Johnson, Root, Felton, Cline and Haas are all juniors returning next year, while the rest were seniors this season.

John Marshall junior infielder Nora Shock was named the second-team captain.

Wooden plaques in the shape of West Virginia that include the player’s name and school, licensed WVSWA logo and year of the honoree are available to all-state first-team, second-team and honorable-mention team members and can be purchased from the Bear Wood Company through WVSWA.org or Bearwoodcompany.com.
