Jordan Atkinson Signs with Koalas

Jordan Atkinson, a senior from James F. Byrnes High School, will join the Fighting Koalas softball team next season.

Daughter of Ashley and Penny Atkinson, Jordan plans to major in history and minor in middle level education.  She was the starting catcher for the James F. Byrnes team that made it to the upper state semis this past season.  On the year, Atkinson allowed only 8 past balls and committed 1 error in 160 innings caught.  Atkinson received the toughest player and sportsmanship award. Apart from being a softball standout, Atkinson also played volleyball and worked as a trainer for 2 years.

Head coach, James Morrison said, "She is a strong defensive catcher and ready to play at the college level.  We are excited to add her to our program."
