Olathe Northwest senior shortstop Avery Laha recorded a record-setting performance in a game against Olathe North, amassing 11 RBI—the most ever in a single game in Kansas high school softball history. Laha went 4‑for‑5, including three home runs (one a grand slam), five runs scored, one double, and a walk. The Ravens’ assistant coach, Kami Berg, emphasized Laha’s leadership on the field and her influence on younger teammates. Laha attributed her success to her teammates being on base and recalled a special moment celebrating her freshman sister’s first home run with a hug at home plate. The performance underscores Olathe Northwest’s strong softball program in the region.
