Walker earns A-P softball’s first All-State nod in a decade

PARKERSBURG - Hard work and effort pay off.

Aplington-Parkersburg’s Eva Walker credits those attributes and more as the rising sophomore earned Class 2A Second Team All-State honors from the Iowa Girls Coaches Association (IGCA), becoming the first Falcon softball player selected since 2013. 

“This means a lot to me,” Walker said. “My dad sent a screenshot of the All-State team to our family chat. Honestly, it’s because of his coaching and all my coaches, my teammates that pushed me that I was able to do this.”
