Hail to Guam All-Island softball selection Guerrero

Hail and congratulations to Kara Guerrero, a Guam High Panthers senior softball third baseman who was named to the Independent Interscholastic Athletic Association of Guam’s All-Island first team.

The lone Panther named to the All-Island first or second teams, Guerrero helped lead the Panthers to a 4-6 regular-season finish, fifth place out of six teams.

But the Panthers played much better than a 4-6 team on Saturday. Guerrero led the way at the plate, going 4-for-6 with three triples, an RBI and four stolen bases as Guam High surprised fourth-place George Washington 25-15 at Agana Heights.

That helped the Panthers set a semifinal date with league regular-season champion Southern for the right to play in their first island championship game on Saturday.

Honorable mention selections from Guam High were senior catcher Jaeann Duenas, pitcher-shortstop Daniela Hoyos, second baseman-utility player Nia Walker and left fielder Kayla Blend.

Congratulations, Kara!
