Athlete of the Week: Jefferson's Olivia Husted
First-year Lady Dragon sparks team during win streak

Olivia Husted has seen no significant drop-off between her sophomore and junior softball seasons. That’s an impressive feat in itself, seeing how the Jefferson pitcher and outfielder was playing for a small Class A team in the GISA a year ago against a fraction of the competition she faces on regular basis nowadays with the Lady Dragons. “At first, it was kind of a difficult switch because I went to playing at a small school against teams that weren’t necessarily as good as schools with the heavy hitters — girls that will hit the ball over if I leave it over the plate,” said Husted, who played for Bethlehem Christian Academy in Winder last season.
