Horseheads Lexi Wahl-Knowlden Signs LOI with Red Barons Softball

Lexi Wahl-Knowlden has signed her NJCAA National Letter of Intent (LOI) to play softball and attend SUNY Corning Community College next Fall.  Wahl-Knowlden, an outfielder, was a member of the 2018 STAC Championship and the 2019 STAC Runner-Up teams as a Horseheads HS Blue Raider.  In 2019 she hit .405 in 42 AB's with a .490 on-base percentage.  Wahl-Knowlden plays travel ball through the Valley Storm softball organization.  Valley Storm Head Coach Curt Maynard had this to say about Lexi: "She is all hustle.  I never worry about her being in the right place whether it's backing up a throw to a base or a bunt she was always where I needed her to be.  Offensively, she battled every at-bat and took the pitcher to an 8-9 pitch count that typically ended in a productive at-bat.  Lexi loves to be coached and learn the game, we wish her the best and I am sure she will be successful at the next level.  She will be missed in our program." 

CCC head coach Stacy Johnson has this to say about Wahl-Knowlden: "Lexi is a welcome addition to our recruiting class.  She is a solid player with the ability to compete at this level.  She has been around our program as her cousin Emily Knowlden was an All-Region player for the Red Barons a few season ago.  She knows what the expectations are and the level we strive to compete at.  Lexi's maturity and work ethic will serve as a team contributor not only on the field but off the field as well.  I am pleased to have Lexi choose to be a Red Baron!"

Wahl-Knowlden is a high honor student at Horseheads, a member of the National Honor Society, a New Visions Honor Academy student and was chosen to participate in the National Youth Leadership Forum in Engineering. 

Wahl-Knowlden will major in Liberal Arts Math and Science with a career goal of becoming a Pharmacist.
