Freedom High School softball player, Megan Brown, was recently named to the 2014 Lehigh Valley Carpenter Cup softball team, coached by John Eyer.

Beginning June 23, Lehigh Valley, along with teams from New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, will compete in the Carpenter Cup Softball Classic, a double-elimination tournament sponsored by the Philadelphia Phillies.

"I thought I had a pretty good try out, and a strong day batting. I seemed to be on for that. I was nervous because my name was one of the last to be called, but as soon as I heard my name I thought, I did it," Brown said.

Brown's primary position will be rightfield, the same position she plays for the Patriots.

"I'm looking forward to working with the girls because there are only two other girls I know," she said.

The tournament also serves as a showcase for college coaches.

"I'm excited and nervous because I would like to play in college. I've been emailing coaches, and I know what it's like to play with coaches there," said Brown.

Even during try outs, Brown could see the potential of the Lehigh Valley team.

"We seemed to work really well together. We got a feel for how everyone plays. It's one thing to play with each other and another thing to play against," Brown said.

On June 23, Lehigh Valley will take on Berks County at FDR Park in Philadelphia.
