Neela Applegate (‘25 Earlham, IA) playing SS made a routine play on a GB with bases loaded & 1 out. Charged the ball, kept her feet moving and saved a run…the little things matter! #KCfallshowcase @IAGoldProspects @PGSoftballScout @PGSoftballIowa @scoutlane11

2025 All-State infielder for @IAGoldProspects (Baker) @NApplegate_2025 from Winterset!

Proven herself time and time again in many BIG games!
Great range at SS. Power to take the ball out but consistent and timely at the plate. Unfazed and confident.

@NorthScottHS Neela Applegate of @WintersetSchool hits a home run! The score is now tied 1-1.

This is the sixth home run of the season for Neela.

[Larry Peterson @larrypeterson]

Neela Applegate's homer to tie the game 1-1 was a big hit with her teammates. Applegate was one of four Huskies on the all-tournament team.

[All-Iowa Prep Sports @AllIowa]

Neela Applegate hit a homerun - her second in as many championships - as Winterset defeated North Scott for the Class 4A state softball title. https://t.co/W2eeZUJizQ
