Alleman standout Avery Nelson has signed a National Letter of Intent with Muscatine Junior College to accept a softball scholarship and play for the Cardinals starting this fall. The daughter of Pioneers assistant coach John Nelson earned All-Western Big 6 Conference honors last season as a pitcher and hitter. The first-team All-Metro performer for The Dispatch and Rock Island Argus posted a 14-4 pitching record, leading the league in wins (six) and innings pitched (48) in Big 6 action. Nelson also hit .333 and led the regional finalists with 13 doubles. The senior has helped the ASA's Heartland Havoc '95 to a pair of USSSA state titles in the summertime.
