Coach Terri Adams continued her relentless work on the recruiting trail by picking up 2012 verbals from SS Sarah Yoos of the Delco Chaos and 3B Brandi Harkness of Cal Lite.
Yoos plays for Archbishop Wood HS and she has been successful in both HS and travel ball. In 2010, Yoos hit an impressive .409 for the Chaos, while earning All State Honorable Mention, 1st Team Courier Times All Golden, and 1st Team All Philadelphia Catholic League.
Yoos is a versatile player with the ability to play either SS or 2B and over the course of her career she will probably see time at both positions for the Hawks.
Past Chaos members that have played in the A10 include: Jackie McBride and Emily Moran who have gone on to La Salle, Bernadette Moran at St. Joseph's, and Melissa Robbins and Christine Schlicter at Temple. In addition, Yoos' teammate Melissa Ruf has signed with the Hawks and will be playing for them next year.
Harkness comes to Hawk Hill from Cal Lite and St. Lucy's Priory HS. Harkness is primarily a 3rd basemen, but she also has the ability to play 1st or the OF. Harkness has a very quick release and that will come in handy for the Hawks, while they deal with the speed of some of the other A10 teams.
Harkness is the embodiment of a student-athlete, as she has had success both on and off the field, earning 2nd Team All CIF in 2010 and California Scholastic Federation Scholar Athlete. For her HS team in 2011, Harkness hit .380 with 3 HR and 12 RBI. Harkness is going to add a lot to the St. Joseph's program both on and off the field and Coach Adams definitely scored with this one. Yoos and Harkness join Anna Lauterbach in the Hawks' 2012 class.
Cal Lite is a fairly young travel ball program and Harkness will the 1st player that they have sent to the A10. Hopefully they send more players to the A10 over the coming years.
Both Delco Chaos and Cal Lite have qualified for Premier Nationals in 2011, which is the top travel softball tournament.
