ABOUT
Spoiler alert: the final 2024 Extra Elite 100 rankings finish up next week with the naming of players in the Top 50 and one who might make it in this elite group is outstanding middle infielder Sophi Mazzola from Eureka, Missouri.
Wink, wink.
Committed to Washington, the standout for the St. Louis Chaos 18U team recently sat down with Extra Inning Softball to shed some light on what’s made her one of the best players in the senior class.
And who her hero is… which will make mothers everywhere smile!

What would you say are your high school team’s top accomplishments?
We are playing in the toughest Missouri class for softball (Class 5) and we always compete for the district championship. We also have two conference titles under our belts in the last three years!
How about your top individual accomplishments?
My freshman year I was Honorable Mention All-Conference, as a sophomore I was 2nd Team All-Conference and 2nd Team All-District and last year as a junior I was 1st Team All-Conference, All-District and All-Region.
What would you say are your strengths on the field?
I am a primary middle infielder with speed but I feel I am a versatile player that can play any position on the infield or outfield. As a hitter, I am a confident triple threat power hitter that can drop down a bunt for a hit or slap a ball past the shortstop.
What is your favorite softball memory?
Hitting back-to-back home runs with my older sister, Mia Mazzola, who is at Eastern Illinois, and then hitting back-to-back home runs on that same field with my younger sister, Gracie Mazzola, on the same exactly field two years later!
