By DOUG DONNELLY

Aly VanBrandt not only set a Whiteford record with a .678 batting average this past season, but she also set a new standard for all of Monroe County Region.

VanBrandt led the Region in batting and eclipsed a 25-year-old record as the highest batting average since the Monroe News began listing region softball leaders in 1984. Her .678 topped the .672 that Miss Softball Melissa Taylor hit in 1997.

A First Team All-State selection, VanBrandt had 78 hits in 115 at-bats.

In the pitching department, Whiteford sophomore Unity Nelson led the Region in wins (22), strikeouts (270) and ERA (0.42).
