Current Missouri Southern assistant softball coach Jakki Schneider, as well as former player and current Athletic Business Manager Brooklyn Farrellwere both honored by the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame yesterday in Springfield.
Schneider received the Hall's Diamond Nine Award, while Farrell was inducted into the Hall of Fame as part of the Webb City High School Softball Program.
Schneider (formally Prater) stared at both Nixa High school and the University of Central Missouri and is the current assistant softball coach for the Lions. At Nixa, Schneider was a four-year letter winner, four-time All-Central Ozark Conference and was All-District. She was the 2009 Nixa MVP.
As a senior she batted .534 with 47 hits and 36 RBI. At Central Missouri, Schneider holds 28 career and season records, including batting average, runs scored, hits, doubles, home runs and RBI. She was a three-time All-MIAA selection, and also earned All-Region as a senior, plus earned the Dr. Peggy Martin Award as the top senior female student-athlete. She helped the Jennies to a 49-16 record as a senior, the MIAA championship, the Central Region title and a trip to the NCAA Division II World Series.
Farrell was a four-year starter for the Lions and before that was a member of the Webb City High School Softball Program. A three-year starter for WCHS, Farrell was an All-State selection as a senior, helping Webb City to a State Championship in 2007 and a third-place finish in 2008. Farrell played for the Lions from 2011-2014.
The Lady Cardinals have been one of the state's winningest programs since their first season in the fall of 1994. Webb City has advanced to ten Final Fours, winning it all twice in Class 3 (2004, 2007). Webb City also was state runner-up twice (2000, 2013), third four times (2005, 2008, 2010, 2011) and fourth twice (1997, 2003).
