    Only a sophomore, Anthony is already a team leader for the Polars.

    “Maddy is a quiet player that leads by her play on the field,” Polars coach Tom Thole said.

    Thole added that Anthony, a righthanded pitcher and infielder, “is a great player and teammate that hasn’t even reached her potential yet.”

    Last week, Anthony allowed only two runs and eight hits while striking out 16 in 16 innings. She allowed one run and six hits in 11 innings in a 1-0 loss to White Bear Lake.

    This season she is 11-2 with a 2.21 ERA. She has struck out 92 in 91⅔ innings.

    “When Maddy has all her pitches working she can dominant a game on the mound,” Thole said.

    In 20 games, Anthony is batting .551 with eight home runs (tied for eighth in the state) and 40 RBI (second in the state).

    The Polars (18-2) play Woodbury in the Class 4A, Section 4 playoffs Tuesday.

Myers, who has committed to Bethel for college, is hitting .381 this season and is 4-1 with a 1.89 ERA as a pitcher.
