2009 News Clips: By Mark Dewar (Associate Sports Editor, SUN Publications) July 15, 2009 All-SUN Softball Selections Kellie White St. Thomas Aquinas The Saints ace, a junior and Class 5A second-team all-state honoree, compiled a 9-2 record and completed nine of her 12 starts. In 75 innings, the first-team All-East Kansas Leaguer fanned 85 of the 310 hitters she faced, walked only 11, allowed just 10 earned runs and boasted a 0.93 earned run average. "Kellie was our No. 1 pitcher on staff and faced each team's No. 1 pitcher of every doubleheader," St. Thomas Aquinas coach Chris Orel said. "Her pitching toughness was a huge reason for our success this season." By Mark Dewar (Associate Sports Editor, SUN Publications) April 24, 2009 St. Thomas Aquinas High School softball pitcher Kellie White is The Sun’s Athlete of the Week. In an East Kansas League game April 15, the junior worked all 10 innings in a 1-0 victory over Blue Valley Northwest. She scattered six hits, fanned nine and did not walk a batter. In the three games she has pitched this season, she has not allowed an earned run. She has faced 83 batters, allowed 12 hits, struck out 30 and just walked three. Kansas Softball Team Previews By Terez Paylor - The Kansas City Star - April 10, 2009 Saint Thomas Aquinas The defending 5A state champions are back, and they've got plenty of ammunition to make another run at a title. Junior pitcher Kellie White has a 0.72 ERA and earned all-state honors last season, while senior third baseman Ashley Dobbie, senior outfielder Janessa Swinney, senior catcher/second baseman Cayce Jacquinot and junior shortstop Ellen Drummond return to form a talented nucleus. KC Metro Players To Watch Kellie White - Saint Thomas Aquinas A junior pitcher, White went 12-2 with a 0.59 ERA as a sophomore. She was 3-0 with a 0.33 ERA at the 2008 Kansas 5A State Tournament. 2008 News Clips: By Charles Redfield (Associate Sports Editor, SUN Publications) May 28, 2008 “Everyone contributed to the championship,” Saints coach Chris Orel said. “Sophomore pitcher Kellie White pitched all three games and senior catcher Meagan Mathiasmeier called great games.” White only allowed one run on nine hits spread over the three games. She fanned 19 and walked only three. The Saints defense only committed one error in the course of three games. By PAT SANGIMINO (Special to The Star) May 25, 2008 A three-run lead with one inning to play was more than enough for sophomore Kellie White, who tossed the two-hit shutout and allowed just a single run in 21 innings of work over the course of the weekend. “I settled everyone down and we focused on getting out of there,” White said. By MATT BROWNING (Wichita Eagle correspondent ) May 25, 2008 Aquinas starter Kellie White was dominant all tournament, but she took it to a new level in the title game. She had a no-hitter through five innings. She struck out 10 and didn't allow any runners past first base. "Kellie had a great week of preparation," Aquinas coach Christine Orel said. "There wasn't anybody else we would have gone to for this game." Kansas City Star (Varsity Sports) May 24, 2008 Sophomore Kellie White proved herself every bit as good as Sarah Wedel, the Salina South senior who is generally regarded as the top Class 5A pitcher in Kansas. As a result, St. Thomas Aquinas is advancing to today’s semifinal round after a 2-1 victory over the No. 3 seeded Cougars at Two Rivers Park. White retired the first 10 hitters she faced. She ended up surrendering just three hits, while striking out five. “Here’s what’s so sweet about that,” said Christine Orel, the Aquinas coach. “We came down here expecting to face the best pitcher in 5A. The way Kellie pitched tonight, I beg to differ.”
