Frenchtown softball P Sadie Smith voted SBLive’s Montana High School Athlete of the Week

Congratulations to Frenchtown softball pitcher Sadie Smith for being voted SBLive’s Montana High School Athlete of the Week for April 11-17!

The freshman came within one single of throwing a five-inning perfect game in a 14-0 softball victory over East Helena. Allowed only a leadoff single to start the game before striking out six of the next seven batters en route to a 10-strikeout performance overall.

Smith ran away with this week’s honor, receiving 91.3% of the total vote.
