FAIRFAX, Va. – Katie Holehouse earned three letters in softball at Flower Mound High School. The Flower Mound, Texas native was a member of the National Honor Society and the Math Honor Society. Holehouse was a National Merit Qualifier on her way to being an All-Academic honoree three times. Holehouse was also selected to the All-District second team twice while at Flower Mound.
“Katie is our first recruit from the great state of Texas. She is a power hitting corner player who we think can be a good run producer,” said Verbanic. In two games, Holehouse is batting .333 with four RBI and two runs so far this season.
