    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Kelsey Rhoney (312-729-3685) PINNACLE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT-ATHLETE NAMED GATORADE® ARIZONA SOFTBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR CHICAGO (June 4, 2018) — In its 33rd year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company, today announced Marissa Schuld of Pinnacle High School as its 2017-18 Gatorade Arizona Softball Player of the Year.

The state’s returning Gatorade Player of the Year, the 5-foot-4 senior right-handed pitcher led the Pioneers to a 30-6 record and the Conference 6A state championship this past season. Schuld compiled an 11-1 record in the circle with a 0.74 earned run average and 151 strikeouts against just six walks in 76 innings pitched.
