WELSH – Throughout her career at Welsh High School, Emmalee Mallett has been through quite a few firsts in school history. She was a member of the first Lady Hounds’ softball team that hosted a playoff game, played on the school’s first volleyball team and became the first Welsh player to ever hit a grand slam. However, it was another first that made her eyes sparkle when looking back on her time at the school. Mallett became the first ever Welsh player to sign a college softball scholarship by inking with Baton Rouge Community College (BRCC) going into her senior year on the diamond. She explained it was a goal of hers to reach this pinnacle after beginning to play travel ball in the Lafayette area with the team LA Glory led by Harley Lanthier. Unlike many other sports where players are primarily seen with their high school squads, softball concentrates on seeing players in the summer and fall.
