Wilcox Has High School Jersey Retired

Ottumwa -- Sarah Wilcox, a key contributor to the success of the Indian Hills softball team the past two seasons, has had her jersey retired by Carlisle High School. Wilcox's jersey was retired in a ceremony prior to Carlisle's June 29 game with Saydel.

Her jersey is one of 20 that has been retired in the 27 years that Jim Flaws has coached at Carlisle. Flaws' program has sent a number of talented players to Indian Hills.

Wilcox was a two-year starter at shortstop for Indian Hills. She played on the 2010 team that qualified for the NJCAA Division I National Tournament and on a team that tied for the Region 11 regular-season championship this past spring.

In high school, Wilcox was a four-year starter in softball and a two-time all-state selection. As a senior, she led the Wildcats to the Class 3-A state championship game and was chosen to play in the senior all-star game.

Flaws said Carlisle usually retires the jerseys of its former softball players soon after they complete high school so the current players can be there to honor their former teammates.
