Fossil Ridge High School softball pitcher Nicole “Nikki” McGaffin has made a name for herself. With 811 high school strikeouts, a 74-9 pitching record, and an ERA of 1.88 it is no wonder she is ranked #1 for recruiting in NCAA Softball. It is also no surprise in her success that McGaffin was named CFA 1st All-Region, Gatorade Player of the Year nominee, and a two-time 5A Player of the Year. McGaffin and her Fossil Ridge team won the 5A Championship in 2020.
