Makenna Burslie ends her High School Softball Career in a Blaze of Glory

Makenna Burslie’s stature may be on the small side but that does not even come close to describing her talents on the softball field. Her senior season was highlighted by a trip to the 2019 Minnesota State Softball Tournament where her Gator team was runner-up, being selected to play in the Coach’s All Star Team, and also selected to the All State First Team. Wow!

She has been playing ball since she was little. She played T-ball and then once she was old enough to join 8u summer rec softball, the rest is history.

One of the softball highlights for Makenna is beating Mankato-Loyola 6-4 in the 2016 State Semi-Finals. “Many people thought of us as the underdog going into this game because their lineup had much bigger/stronger girls than us. Beating the odds of that game was an unforgettable feeling and it was even sweeter since we would then go to the State Championship game!”
