ESCANABA –What’s better than having one player earn All State recognition?

Not two, but three players earning All State recognition.

Escanaba juniors Katey Lamb and Grayson LaMarche, as well as senior Anna Boutilier, all earned recognition for Division 2 from the Michigan High School Softball Coaches Association.
