Channel 3 Sports is proud to continue its “Student-athlete Shout out” feature series during the 2015-16 school year. Each installment will spotlight the recent accomplishments of a deserving Northeast Ohio high school athlete.
Lawrence School softball player Carissa Carmichael
Lawrence Upper School eighth grader Carissa Carmichael boasts a team-best .542 batting average through the Lions’ first six games of the season. The team’s starting shortstop and No. 3 hitter has amassed 17 RBIs in 24 plate appearances six games into the program’s inaugural season.
Lawrence, a private, independent school in Sagamore Hills, completes in the Lake Effect Conference and is not an Ohio High School Athletic Association member school.
Carmichael has tallied eight extra-base hits, including two home runs, for the 3-3 Lions. In a recent game against league foe Horizon Science Academy, she pitched a complete game while only allowing two runs.
“Carissa is a very mature leader for being so young,” Lawrence athletic director Bryan Cioffoletti said. “She is constantly talking and teaching on and off the field to her teammates.”
