The best athlete I've ever been around male or female and it's not close. A special kid who is very special to me.

Congratulations Batman! I cannot wait to watch you keep proving me right. We are so proud of you. Love you kiddo.

The 2025 final leaderboards are up. Big-time falls had by A LOT of kids.

11/08/2025

It’s amazing what a difference a year can make. Just ask Prime 2028 Avery Abbott.

A year after Abbott debuted in the PSFL and struggled to stay afloat as a young player, she put together a sensational sophomore campaign, led her team to the league championship and won the Underclassman of the Year Award.

Abbott, a RHP/MIF from McGehee, was a force on both sides of the ball - offensively and in the circle. She slashed a .447/.533/.579 line, had 15 RBIs and a PSFL-leading 20 runs. In the circle, Abbott led the league in innings pitched at 39 and had a 4.31 ERA. Her Prime Green team used a two-headed combo of her and 2027 Alexis Cook all season, but Cook was absent at last weekend’s PSFL Championship. Abbott didn’t skip a beat, pitched all 19 innings for her team and led them to four wins and a PSFL title.

“That girl has just grown by leaps and bounds,” said Green Coach Billy Camplain, who also coached Abbott in the 2024 PSFL. “In the past 12 months both physically and mentally, there’s been just tremendous development with her. She always has a ‘can do’ attitude and there is no cap on what she can accomplish in this sport.”

Last year in the PSFL, Abbott’s line read like this: .174/.367/.174 w/ 3 RBIs and 5 runs. In the circle, she had a 5.38 ERA in 9.1 innings pitched - all a stark contrast from her 2025 campaign.

“Avery is an A+ kid like for real,” Prime Director and PSFL Commissioner Jay Lupo said. “So coming into the draft, I knew she’d end up with me or Billy. I knew she’d gotten better - I’d seen it. And Billy loved her from last fall.

“But neither of us were targeting her because we thought she’d lead our team to the championship. We just loved her. I’d say that ole Billy got his value out of that draft pick in 2025.”

Abbott said last fall was a bit of a wake-up call for her. It drove her for the next 365 days.

“After last fall, I knew that if I wanted to improve I would need to put in a lot of work,” she said. “So that’s what I did. Day in and day out I worked trying to accomplish my goals.

“I worked not on the physical stuff, but the mental part too. It definitely worked. It was amazing to see all of the hard work I put in finally pay off during the games. I’ll just continue to work hard.”

Abbott is just a 10th grader, so she has two more falls in the PSFL. There’s no reason to believe she won’t end up littering the organization’s career leader boards when her career is finished. That, she said, is not what drives her, however.

“I could have the opportunity to maybe break some records in the PSFL,” she said. “And that would be a big honor with all of the great players that have played in it before me. But that’s not what it’s about. Softball has taught me so many life lessons that I feel I could never learn anywhere else. I think softball and life will come with wins and losses along the way but it’s what you do with them and how you respond that truly matters.”

Either way, Abbott loves the PSFL and loves playing for Coach Camplain.

“Along with great teammates I’ve met some of the best coaches,” she said. “One of those is Coach Billy. He cares about growing us as an athlete. The constant reminder to ‘just let them hit it’ and ‘hit what’s in my wheelhouse’ will cross my mind every time I step onto the field.

“He has helped me so much these past two years. I’m just glad I could have a good fall and help our team win the championship.”

Lori Harris has long known what a privilege it is to have Kammie Terrell in the circle. This fall in the PSFL, that “privilege” was bestowed upon the entire Prime Organization.

Terrell, a 2028 LHP from Mt. Pleasant, TX, started her PSFL career with a bang in 2025 and has earned the Pitcher of the Year Award for her efforts. Terrell, a big and powerful lefty, tossed 27 innings for her Prime Orange squad in the PSFL and had a 3.11 ERA, a record-breaking 57 strikeouts and just 13 walks to earn the award. She edged out Navy 2027 Maryemma Hammond and Columbia 2028 Cole Reynolds for the award.

“Having Kammie in the circle is a privilege that I don’t take for granted,” said Harris, Orange Coach and longtime coach of Terrell. “If we’re facing a heavy-hitting team I’m never worried. I trust her and more importantly, her teammates trust her.

“She always steps in the circle with confidence.”

Terrell joins OBU freshman Alaina Lyle (2023) and Three Rivers College (MO) freshman Addison Cooper (2024) as recipients of the Pitcher of the Year Award.

“This award means so much to me,” said Terrell, whose 57 strikeouts were a PSFL single-season record. “I’m beyond blessed and grateful to get it. To join the great pitchers before me to win it is something I’m really proud of.”

Terrell is a tall, menacing presence in the circle with the attitude to match. Prime Director and PSFL Commissioner Jay Lupo said that might be her most endearing quality.

“Kammie has that swag that you just love from a pitcher,” he said. “It’s not cockiness. It’s just confidence and she wears it really well in my opinion.

“She’s so tall; every bit of 5’10 or 5’11 with room to grow. She’s long. She’s left-handed, has that long stride. And she’s just got a certain aura out there about herself. I loved get to watch her throw this fall.”

Harris echoed Lupo’s sentiments.

“It really doesn’t matter what team she’s facing or what type of competition she’s up against,” Harris said. “She always steps in the circle with confidence.

“And she’s a lefty so she’s putting a different spin on things. Her movement and break is just nasty. It’s a lot of fun to watch her take control in the circle.”

Terrell, Harris and a host of Texas teammates joined Prime last summer. They were very successful but played the majority of their ball in the Lonestar State. The PSFL was their first opportunity to make an impression on their Arkansas sisters.

“I was a little nervous I guess and didn’t really know what to expect,” Terrell said. “As I got in it, I realized real quick I had to adapt to the players I was competing against. A lot of them were older and there are some really, really good players in this league.

“But I just stayed true to myself. When I step in the circle, all I think about is my attitude, my effort and my efficiency. And I just go to work.”

Lupo said that Terrell, who is already appearing on various college recruiting boards, is just scratching the surface of what she can be in this sport.

“Kammie has a ton of upside,” he said. “She checks all of the boxes. She’s tall. Long. Already has great velocity. Has some serious spin that gets a lot of swings and misses. All the physical stuff is present now and will only get better.

“And she’s got the moxie, too. Again, got a little swag in that circle and that’s what you look for. She wants the ball in all situations.”

Harley Grammer had a sensational debut season in the PSFL a year ago. As a 10th grader she hit .538 and threw 16+ effective innings for eventual champion Prime Red. She won multiple weekly awards throughout the season and was a finalist for the Underclassman of the Year Award. Coming into 2025, she simply wanted to take another step forward in her development.

Well the results are in and, um … Mission Accomplished, Harley.

While her Coral team might’ve fallen short of its goal, Grammer most definitely did not. One of the best individual seasons in PSFL history has netted her the league’s third Player of the Year Award after the junior slashed a .536/.629/1.214 line with 5 home runs, 15 RBIs and 18 runs. In the circle, she threw 18 innings, struck out 25 and had a 2.33 ERA. Grammer led the league in slugging %, home runs, extra-base hits and RBIs while ranking in the Top Three in hits, average, OBP, runs and ERA.

“Harley was fantastic,” Prime Director and PSFL Commissioner Jay Lupo said. “I mean she really was. We had some that had great years - Destiny Martinez immediately jumps to my mind. But it was never really a race because Harley just separated herself all fall. She wouldn’t really let anybody get close to her and then about halfway through the league, she started pitching. And true to form, she was awesome at that, too.”

Grammer joins elite company in OBU commit Addison Highfill (2023) and OBU freshman Alaina Lyle (2024) as previous winners of the POTY. Her slugging percentage of 1.214 is the 2nd highest in the league’s history - .003 points behind Arkansas commit Skylar Sterritt in 2023. She is now the PSFL’s career leader in runs scored - 41 in two seasons - and ranks in the Top 5 historically in hits (36), doubles (14), OBP (.622), XBH (21), slugging (1.060) and home runs (7).

“This award means a lot to me,” said Grammer, a coveted 2027 IF prospect from DeWitt. “There are so many good players that have been in this league and I’ve played with the two that won it before me. So to be mentioned with them is really special.

“I didn’t focus on this award. I was mostly thinking about helping my team win. But I did want to build off last year and take another step.”

Grammer was expected to be one of the league’s top players, no doubt. Nobody should be surprised to see she’s the player of the year. But she entered the fall not planning to pitch much if any. Necessity dictated otherwise, however, and Grammer not only got back in the saddle … she was one of the best cowgirls at the rodeo.

“I was actually really impressed with what I did pitching wise,” she said. “I did good I think. I haven’t done it in so long I had no clue what the results would be. But it gave me another way to help my team out and be a better all-around player. So I was all for it.”

Grammer played for Prime’s flagship team a summer ago, Prime Black - an 18U team that faced some of the best competition the country can offer. She, like the other players on the team, faced a gauntlet of Division I-committed arms. Eighteen, to be exact. Some of which are headed to destinations like Arkansas, Auburn, Tennessee, North Carolina State, Stanford, etc… While she was up and down offensively like the rest of the team, that experience helped her when the PSFL rolled around.

“The pitching we saw definitely made me better,” Grammer said. “And what it really did was just make me a more confident player. I was ready for anything I’d see in the PSFL.”

Lupo said adding the POTY award is just another notch in the belt loop of one of the organization’s top players.

“Honestly this is just par for the course for her,” he said. “I think she’s got a great chance to become the first-ever two-time winner of the POTY award next year. When the dust settles on her career, she’ll be at or near the top in every major statistical category.

“Harley is a big-time prospect. She’s got the physical tools, the body. And she’s a great teammate and kid. She’ll just keep getting better. I can’t wait to follow her journey.”

Heading into last Sunday’s PSFL Championship at UAM, Prime Green Coach Billy Camplain knew his team could win the tournament if they just caused a little havoc. And that’s exactly what they did on Sunday in Monticello.

Green pulled away late in an opening-round 10-6 win over Purple then blew a semifinal game wide open in extra innings against Columbia and never looked back, going a perfect 4-0 to claim the PSFL Title. Camplain’s squad beat Navy 16-2 in the winner’s final then topped them again 10-2 in the title game to waltz to the championship.

“The greatest thing about this group was they were not selfish and would do whatever it took to improve or help the team,” Camplain said. “You could see what was on the horizon.

“I knew coming in that we could win it. We just had to get a little creative and cause some havoc.”

Green sat 4-4 after the first three weekends of the league but finished 6-1-1 in their last eight games. When the dust had settled, there was no question who the best team was.

“Not going to lie, after the first few weekends I thought they were probably going to finish towards the bottom of the league,” PSFL Director and Columbia Coach Jay Lupo said. “But they just got so much better every weekend. Like literally, every game they played was better than the last. My team couldn’t beat them - we were 0-3 against Green.

“Billy did a phenomenal job with that group.”

Camplain said he always felt good about his group’s defense. But it was the offensive side of the ball that saw tremendous growth over the fall.

“We were pretty salty defensively start to finish,” he said. “Our biggest growth was on the offensive side. I think that first weekend we hit .250. But the girls were receptive to making minor adjustments and you just saw our average jump 20-25 points every weekend.

“They learned what it meant to hit what was in their ‘wheelhouse.’”

Green’s story was not without adversity or bumps in the road. They rarely had their full team present and didn’t on championship weekend, either. In Monticello, they were down to one pitcher - 2028 Avery Abbott - and she took a line drive off her right hand in the team’s first game of the day. She proceeded to throw 19 innings the rest of the day to help lead her team to the title.

“They very, very seldomly had all of their kids there,” Lupo said. “And he wasn’t missing young kids or whatever. He missed difference-makers on several weekends. But that didn’t matter. They still got better every time out.”

Camplain said Green, like their standout pitcher, showed a ton of “grit” throughout the fall.

“We played every weekend with only two arms,” he said. “Abbott and [Alexis] Cook split every other inning until we only had Avery that last weekend. That kid, like our whole team, showed a lot of grit taking a line drive to her right hand in the first game and continuing to go throughout the day.”

Green had plenty of standouts throughout the fall and in Monticello.

Abbott, a year after hitting .150 as a 9th grader in the PSFL, showed unbelievable growth in her sophomore campaign in the league. The RHP/MIF from McGehee slashed a .447/.533/.579 line, scored 20 runs and threw a PSFL-high 39 innings in the circle. She won awards throughout the league and - hint, hint - will be taking home one of the league’s most prestigious individual awards in the days that follow.

2027 Ouachita Baptist commit and PSFL veteran Raeleigh Milton was her usual bubbly, effective self in 2025. She hit .390, stole 10 bags and locked down a position she’d never played before in 1st Base because that’s what her team needed.

2027 Cabot MIF Cassie Baugh was one of the star’s of the PSFL, hitting .405 with 20 runs and laying claim to the league’s top defensive player. She was a pure magician at times with the leather and saved countless runs.

2027 Rison OF Riley Hyatt, while absent early due to cross country commitments, finished with a flurry to help propel her team to the championship. The speedy lefty slashed a .464/.500/.643 line, scored 12 runs and stole 9 bases despite only playing in 12 games.

“They were just great kids,” Camplain said. “Team-first, every one of them.

“Milton played a position she never even thought about playing and never complained, did a great job. [Tessa] Smith did a fantastic job behind the plate and got her bat pretty hot at the end. Baugh would lock down short and make fantastic plays. [Allee] Autry, Hyatt and [Tae] Thrower had the outfield secured and made serious plays throughout the season. [Natalie] Lawson was exponential in all aspects. And Cunningham did a really good job for us too. Got a huge hit early in the day. You could just see growth of some sort whether it was an approach at the plate, confidence in their play or just a great attitude. It really was a great bunch of kids.”

In the end, Camplain was just like a proud father with his team and thankful for the PSFL.

“To me, the PSFL is a no-brainer,” he said. “They see competition, how they stack up with other players in their class. They get different coaching styles. They have Lupo that will represent and sell them if that’s what they’re looking for. All the while they’re having fun playing a game that has so many life lessons they can take with them.

“It was a great experience for us this year and I owe that all to the kids on this roster.”

Camplain becomes the third different winner of the PSFL and, ironically, the third different Prime Black staff member to hoist the trophy. Black Coach Jay Lupo won it in 2023 with his Prime White Squad. And Black Assistant James Lyle won it with the team of death in Prime Red in 2024. Camplain’s gritty Green team continued the trend in 2025.

So that begs the question … Is Lucien Loyd next in 2026?

Don’t hold your breath on that one, folks.
