Horseheads Star Emma Loomis Signs with Red Barons Softball

Emma Loomis (Horseheads, NY) has signed her NJCAA National Letter of Intent (LOI) to play softball and attend SUNY Corning Community College next Fall.  Loomis was a part of the 2018 Blue Raiders team that won the STAC Championship and Section IV title.  In her sophomore season, the speedy outfielder hit .365, scoring 21 runs and knocking in 13 RBI's with a .423 on-base percentage and a .947 stolen base percentage.  Loomis has played travel ball for the NY Lady Rebels, TC Tremors 18U and most recently the Conklin Raiders Gold 18U, competing in some of the most premier travel tournaments in the country. 

Horseheads HS head coach Rick Gryska has this to say about Loomis, "I have had the pleasure of coaching Emma multiple times going all the way back to 8U All Stars.  Emma consistently plays hard, always hustles, never stops smiling, and most importantly is a great teammate.  She will bring an awesome left-handed bat and an aggressive defensive approach to the SUNY CCC program."

"Emma is very good and has the potential to be great", said CCC coach Stacy Johnson.  "This kid has the tools to be something special.  She, like a few others in the 2021 signing class, have the ability to come right in and dominate from day one.  Her skills perfectly compliment the team we are building and her big game experience will not only serve her well but hopefully be emulated by her teammates.  Emma brings multiple weapons to this team, on and off the field.  Any time we can keep a big name player from our community in our own house it's a win!  This young lady is a defensive standout, has great speed and is a weapon from the left side of the plate.  Emma will do big things here and is a key component to our future team successes. She flat out knows how to compete!  I couldn't be more pleased to have Emma sign on the dotted line." 

Loomis is an honor student and part of the New Visions Honors Academy.  She plans on majoring in Business Administration.
