Jim White isn’t a big fan of QuikStats Iowa.
He isn’t wild about the public seeing his team’s statistics on the Internet. And he certainly isn’t crazy about his players viewing them.
“I’m a team-first guy,” said White, head softball coach at Clear Creek Amana. “I’m just kind of concerned about kids being too concerned about their batting averages.”
Here, in a nutshell, is what viewers will find: The Clippers can hit. A lot.
According to Quik Stats Iowa, Clear Creek Amana’s Ashley Akers and Katy Sexton rank 1-2 in the state in runs scored.
Akers has scored 21 runs, Sexton 20.

Cedar Rapids Jefferson's Hannah Petersen was a 4A first-team all-state pitcher as an eighth-grader.
