VTSU Johnson Athletics Department welcomes Jossalyn White as she commits to joining the varsity softball program at the start of the 2024-25 campaign. In addition to representing club teams, C-Town Rebels and the Dirtballers, the outfielder/shortstop from Libby, MT was a four-year member of the Libby High School varsity program. White's 1x 2nd Team All-Conference and 2x Honorable Mention All-Conference recognition there add to the growing momentum the Badgers program brings into next season.
"We're excited to have Jossalyn join our softball family. As well as being a great athlete, Jossalyn brings a lot of versatility with the ability to play both outfield and infield at a high level. She also has sneaky power from the plate. We're looking forward to watching her grow as both an athlete and scholar," says Coach Arnold. Welcome aboard, Jossalyn and Go Badgers!

Most Memorable Sports Moment: My most memorable moment was winning the Polson Splash summer ball tourney the summer after my junior year. It was a long day of games on tourney day and we had finally beaten one of our most rivaled teams of the season. It was the end of an era with one of my most favorite people to play with, Mackenzie, as that was our last tournament and game ever playing together.
