McKenna Larsen has an injured ulnar collateral ligament in her right hand, which will require surgery, (Larsen is a left handed pitcher). Larsen said she put the injury out of her mind during the Panthers’ recent run to the state girls' basketball tournament where Larsen finished with five 3s on the day. She attempted 21 field goals, just six short of the state tournament single-game record. She also had eight rebounds, five steals and two assists..

Word from our Fastpitch Chronicle sources indicate that she will miss the entire softball season, an issue that WFSCA Division 3 coaches doing rankings didn't know about or failed to use in their consideration.
