Atteberry named Jayhawk Player of the Week

Leading the Lady Saints to three wins with a big week at the plate, Seward County freshman Jullian Atteberry has been named the Jayhawk West Player of the Week in a league release on Tuesday. 

Atteberry hit .500 with three home runs and eight RBI's this week for the Lady Saints, also scoring eight runs in a 3-1 week for Seward.  Wednesday against Barton, the freshman shortstop, turned third baseman this week due to injuries, had two hits in each end of the Lady Saints doubleheader against the Cougars, knocking home two in a game one win while going deep and scoring two runs in game two.  Saturday against Dodge City she was at it again, cracking a two run home run in game one of Seward's sweep of the Conqs while homering for the third straight game in game two, a three run shot in a 13-7 Seward win. 

Atteberry is having a tremendous rookie season for Seward, hitting .390 with a team best 20 extra base hits and a Jayhawk Conference best 49 RBI's on the year.  Atteberry and the Lady Saints are scheduled to be back in action Wednesday on the road at #9 Cowley before returning home to Lady Saints Field for a Jayhawk West Conference doubleheader on Saturday.
