A Pittsburg High School softball player is having a season to remember, including challenging an all-time state record.

 

Brette Pasteur is a junior on the Purple Dragons softball team, and has established herself as one of the top overall talents in Southeast Kansas. Pasteur is hitting .712 on the season, with 37 hits, 11 doubles, two triples, 12 home runs, and 41 runs batted in.

 

The junior is close to the all-time record for batting average in Kansas, which is held by Kendall Patterson of McLouth, who hit .810 in 2008. Pasteur also plays for the Iowa Premier club team, which is one of the best in the area, and is earning Division 1 interest in her junior season. 

 

Brette isn't the only hitter in the Purple Dragon lineup, as six different players are hitting over .400 this season, and Pittsburg is 16-2 on the year.
