POLAHS Softball INF Savana Ramirez Signs With Yavapai College

Another signing day ceremony for San Pedro Prep Sports for a great 2014-2015 sports year occurred on Monday as recent graduate of Port Of Los Angeles High, softball infielder Savana Ramirez, signed a letter of intent to play at Yavapai College in Prescott, Arizona.

Ramirez, the San Pedro News Pilot 2015 Prep Softball Co-Infielder Of The Year helped the Polar Bears go 31-5 and reach the CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division I semifinals, where it lost 8-6 to eventual champion Chatsworth. Ramirez, who made the All-City Division I team and is the Coliseum League Co-Player Of The Year, hit a booming two-run home run which tied the game in the sixth inning.

Earlier on Ramirez committed to Indiana Tech University before being recruited by Yavapai as a catcher, one of three positions she played at POLA along with second base (her main position in 2015) and shortstop.

"I wanted to be closer to home and I was given a great opportunity and offer to play at Yavapai," said Ramirez, who hit .429 with 38 runs, 3 home runs, 23 RBIs, 5 doubles, a new school record and team-leading 48 hits and was 7-for-7 in stolen bases for POLA. "(The atmosphere at Yavapai) was very comforting. Everyone was so nice and helpful."

The intriguing part about Ramirez's signing is that she will play in the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference (ACCAC) which also features Eastern Arizona, where she will be on opposite ends with POLA alumni Kelsea Short.

"I am very excited to play against Kelsea," Ramirez said. "It's not going to be the same being on the opposite team but it will be fun."

In three years since Ramirez transferred from West Torrance, POLA compiled a 89-21 record with a CIF-LACS Division III championship in 2013, and back-to-back Division I semifinal appearances. Ramirez joins the likes of Short, fellow graduate Nicolle Miranda (Eastern Michigan), Allison Bayer (Carroll College/Montana), Sarah Maldonado (Long Beach City) and Brianna Grayson (Dickinson State/North Dakota) as POLA alumni playing at the next level.

"There's so many things I'm going to miss about playing for POLA," Ramirez says. "But I'm really going to miss the girls and the coaches the most. We all just had a chemistry that couldn't be broken."

Yavapai College is an NJCAA Division I school that went 31-27 in the 2015 season.

This is the eighth signing day for a San Pedro Prep Sports student athlete, as Ramirez joins Miranda, Mary Star's Marina Vitalich (softball, George Mason), and the San Pedro quintet of Dominic O'Brien (football, Southern Utah), Luis Lona (football, Baldwin Wallace/Ohio), Louie Canjura (baseball, Sacred Heart/Conneticut), Danielle Nunez (cross-country, Loyola Marymount) and Johnie Cortez (softball, Marymount California).
