Softball: Betts, Loudin Named to 2026 All-OVAC Softball Teams

BARNESVILLE — Two members of Barnesville High School’s varsity softball team were recently recognized for their efforts on the field this 2026 season. 

Those two student-athletes are seniors Ella Betts and Peyton Loudin. The Ohio Valley Athletic Conference (OVAC) named both of them with All-OVAC Softball honors. 

Loudin was named first team, and Betts was named second team. Both players are expected to return for the Shamrocks next year. 

Head Coach Kelly Hanlon spoke highly of Betts and Loudin and their contributions to Barnesville’s success.
