Lannie "Bell" is a talented, hard-working, humble, self-controlled pitcher. I began working with "Bell" when she was eight years old. From the very first day, her determination, coachability and work ethic made me believe she was going to be successful!
By Traci Farrington (Pitching Coach) Lannie is one of the most accurate and focused pitchers I have seen this year. She hits her spots and has a very good attitude. Her work ethic is great! She is also an excellent outfielder and can hit as well as she pitches.
By Monica Light (Coach) Lannie pitched for Va. High when we played them this past season in a regular season game and she had great command of all her pitches and can hit her spots all the time. She has 5 or 6 different pitches and can throw all of them .
By Steve Lester (Head Softball Coach at John Battle High School Brs)
