Sosby to compete in Queen of Diamonds Showcase South

By
The Highland County Press-

Kiley Sosby of Whiteoak High School has recently been selected to compete in the Queen of Diamonds Showcase South (QDSS) at Winthrop University Aug. 24 and 25.

This is the sixth event for the Queen of Diamonds in the South. The QDSS is part of the Queen of Diamonds Showcase events, which are the largest fast-pitch softball showcases of its kind in the U.S.

This event continues to attract athletes from over 30 states and two Canadian provinces. Its sister showcase, which Sosby attended last year, the Queen of Diamonds North, is in its 18th season and takes place on the campus of Kent State University.

Both events have near 2,000 applicants in which over 264 athletes are selected. This showcase is very unique as athletes actually ‘apply to’ this event individually and are selected based on many criteria ranging from ability, potential, academics, graduation year, coaches' requests and referrals.

Sosby, a pitcher, plays select summer ball for Buckeye Heat '97 out of Columbus, Ohio.
