Barlow softball sweeps 2025 Mt. Hood Conference year’s end awards
Published 11:05 am Thursday, June 5, 2025
Barlow softball is all smiles after claiming all three major awards during the end-of-season celebrations.
Bruins senior Charli Renner was named player of the year. Barlow senior Kaylee Pokorny was pitcher of the year. And the Bruin’s Rob Gehrke was co-coach of the year, sharing the honor with Aaron Hazel of Nelson.
That marks a rather rare sweep within the Mt. Hood Conference, and a coup for the third-place finishing squad that battled into the second round of playoffs.
There were others to celebrate during the 2025 Mt. Hood Conference Softball All-League awards. Players from Gresham, Sandy, Reynolds, and the rest of the conference all got their flowers.
The first-place Gophers had the most selections to the first team with five players. That contingent was led by four-year star La Terra Foster-Frison, who is heading to play for Michigan State University next year.
