Cloud County Athletics
CONCORDIA - Cloud County Community College freshman softball player Ryleigh Jones has been named the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference Division II Softball Player of the Week for her performances in a pair of games last week against the McPherson College JV team.
Jones had a stellar debut for the T-Birds in their 2022 season opener as the Alma, Kansas native would hit two long balls and drive in four runs as part of a 13-7 win over the McPherson College JV team. After a two-run home run to Centerfield in the bottom of the third, Jones would homer again in the fifth by showing off her wheels for an inside-the-park two-run home run that would cap off a 13-run outing for CCCC. Jones would also add a double in game one against the Bulldogs before going one-for-two in game two with a sacrifice fly and an RBI double that would get Cloud County on the board. Through two games, Jones has an OPS of 2.404 and 1.833 slugging percentage to go along with a .571 slugging percentage.
Cloud County will next be in action on Monday, February 28th when the T-Birds play host to Northeast Community College in a 1 p.m. non-conference doubleheader.
