Correction

Because of an oversight when compiling last week’s story on Wakulla Lady War Eagle softball players named to the All-Big Bend team, sophomore Parker Stubbs was inadvertently left out of the story.
Along with Cylie Long, named Softball Player of the Year, and Charley Butler, named Softball Pitcher of the Year, Stubbs was named to the All-Big Bend First Team.
A sophomore, Stubbs was an infielder for the Lady War Eagles who played 24 games, had a .342 average, with 26 hits in 76 at-bats, with one home run and 18 RBIs.
We regret the error.
