The report says Platts played a decisive role as Gilbert advanced to the state tournament. Her impact came in both matches rather than one isolated moment.
That contribution underlined her value in high-pressure matches. Gilbert, reportedly ranked fifth in Class 2A, needed two wins to continue its season, and Platts influenced both outcomes directly.
Ramus earned recognition after reportedly leading Roland-Story to a 10-0 victory over Greene County. The right-hander completed all six innings, giving the Norsemen control from start to finish.
The outing matched the result: a shutout performance behind a double-digit Roland-Story score. It also helped the undefeated Norsemen maintain their momentum.
The report says Platts received 79% of the vote, while Ramus secured 71%. Those figures reflect performances tied closely to team success: Gilbert reached the state tournament, and Roland-Story remained undefeated after a commanding win.
Platts now faces the next stage of Gilbert’s postseason push, where her attacking influence will again be tested. Ramus, meanwhile, will look to build on a six-inning shutout as Roland-Story continues its unbeaten baseball campaign.
