CHILLICOTHE — Over the past four springs, there may not have been a player in the Scioto Valley Conference more valuable to her team than Kylee Kellough.
Huntington’s flame-throwing senior enjoyed yet another successful season this spring, leading her crew to a 12-10 record while posting nine wins, a 1.93 ERA and 124 strikeouts.
