HOT SPRINGS – Former Benton Lady Panther catcher Gracie Redmon made some noise her freshman season with the National Park College Nighthawks. Redmon was recently named to the NJCAA Division II All-Region Team in helping the Nighthawks to a 34-20 record, the most wins in program history. NPC finished runner-up in the NJCAA Region II Tournament.
In her rookie year with the Nighthawks, Redmon hit .305 with 29 runs and 39 hits, adding six doubles, three home runs, 21 walks and 27 RBIs. Defensively, Redmon had a .996 fielding percentage and threw out 11 runners.
“Gracie is on tough young lady,” NPC Coach Autumn Wyatt said. “As our main catcher, she was a confident, commanding presence behind the plate. I am proud of her resilience and effort all year.”
Redmon won two state titles with the Lady Panthers her junior and senior seasons in which Benton went a combined 63-0. She earned All-Conference and All-State Tournament Team honors after batting .435 with 11 doubles and 27 RBIs. She had the game-winning RBI in the 2022 5A state championship title game.
Also for NPC, former Benton All-Conference selection and now Nighthawks freshman Aubree Goodnight had a good rookie season, batting .382 with 52 hits, 28 runs, five doubles, two triples and 22 RBIs.
