Miranda Langen – Miranda will graduate from Morrisonville HS in Morrisonville, IL. She is a tremendous student with great athleticism. She is a great defensive catcher with a very strong arm.

Shannon is a solid hitter with gap power and was voted to the All-Conference team her sophomore season and looks to repeat that as a senior. Shannon finished a tough fall season with the Hitting Center 18u College Exposure Team, batting .419 with 12 RBI’s. Shannon is a tremendous student and will provide some much needed depth to our infield. Shannon is the daughter of David and Geri Stuart. |  |
