Chapmanville senior Andi Williamson was named the Gatorade West Virginia high school softball player of the year Thursday.
Williamson, a 5-foot-8 senior pitcher who has signed with Tennessee, posted a 22-1 record with a 0.09 earned run average in leading the Tigers (31-3) to the Class AA state title. She struck out 367 while surrendering just 23 hits and 17 walks in 161 innings. The three-time all-state first-team selection fired 19 shutouts and four perfect games while also batting .366 with four home runs and 33 RBIs.
Williamson maintains a 4.02 grade-point average and has volunteered at area nursing homes and at local elementary schools as a mentor. She is now eligible for the Gatorade national player of the year award, which will be announced this month.

As a sophomore, after the State Board of Education shut down Harts High School, Andi and her fellow Harts Creekers had to go to Chapmanville to school. Andi was Chapmanville's top hurler as a sophomore and led Chapmanville to the 2007 Class AA State Championship, and was selected to the Class AA First Team All-State list.
As a junior, despite a very good regular season, the Tigers failed to win their section, but Andi was still selected to the 2008 Class AA First Team All-State team.
Of course, Andi was a Class AA First Team All-State selection in 2009.
Congratulation Andi! Let it be known that you're a "Four-peat" First Team All-State gal from Harts Creek! Harts Creek! Harts Creek! Harts Creek! Harts Creek! Harts Creek! Harts Creek!
