Player of the Week: Kaymin Calaway

Congratulations Kaymin!!

This week’s AllOnGeorgia Player of the Week honors brought to you by Jim Aaron’s Summerville McDonalds go to Chattooga Softball’s Kaymin Calaway.

Calaway, 16 years old, is a  junior at Chattooga High School. She is the pitcher for the Chattooga Lady Indians.

“Kaymin has done a great job for us this year we have six wins and she has four of those wins,” Chattooga Softball coach Jeff Bennett said. “Not only is she doing well on the mound she’s also doing well at the plate.”

Calaway’s batting average is .500.

Calaway transferred to Chattooga last year, “we are so glad to have Kaymin eligible this year, last year she was a ineligible but she worked every day never missed practice,” Bennett said.

Calaway has been playing softball for nine years, it is a year-round sport for her. She is also a member of the Lady Dukes 18-U Warren travel team.

She said her most memorable moment in softball was beating Berrien County in the last game to advance the Indians to the Elite 8 and when the Indians beat their cross town rival, Trion 4-3, last week.

Calaway said her team goal is to win region and her personal goal is to continue to strive to be a good pitcher and be a good team player/leader for the team.

When asked who her role model was and why, Calaway said: “My role model is my grandmother, Melody Edwards. She has taught me to stay faithful to the Lord and she’s always positive no matter what is thrown at her.”
