The 5-foot-11 senior left-handed pitcher and first baseman led the Panthers (29-1) to the Class 2A state championship this past season. Preston compiled a 19-0 record and a 0.52 ERA in the circle along with a .454 batting average, 14 home runs and 46 RBI. She struck out 192 batters in 135 innings pitched. Preston is a two-time First Team All-State selection and the Clarence Cannon Conference Player of the Year.
Preston has maintained a 3.60 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to play softball on scholarship at the University of Alabama this fall.
A devoted member of her church youth group, Preston has volunteered locally on behalf of youth softball programs, a pre-K summer school and a community park clean-up initiative. "Madison Preston can only be described as clutch," said Sharon Buschjost, head coach at Blair Oaks High. "She's a darn good pitcher and I think she's an even better hitter. She's just a premier player on the softball field."
