“That’s just something I think I’ll remember forever,” Addison Allaire said.
Addison Allaire and Mackenzie Fisher have helped build a softball dynasty at Trenton, WCJB reported. On Wednesday afternoon, with family and friends gathered around, Allaire put pen to paper with the University of Florida, and Fisher finalized her commitment to Saint Leo University.
Allaire earned Gatorade Player of the Year honors for the 2025-26 season. As a four-time state champion and the Lady Tigers’ strikeout queen, she joins the next generation of pitchers at Florida.
Speaking exclusively to TV20, Allaire explained that an unofficial visit cemented her choice after she rode around campus on a golf cart with Gators coach Tim Walton. “It was great. I knew when I got there that that’s where I wanted to be,” Allaire said.
She looks forward to working with the coaching staff. “I know that he’s going to, him and the rest of the staff are going to help me to become a better player, but more importantly, a better person, and I can’t wait to be there,” Allaire said.
After leaving a strong impression for Trenton both as a basebasher and hitter, Fisher moves on to the Division II champion Saint Leo. The versatile player also threw 32 innings in the circle.
Fisher told TV20 that the decision came down to how she felt during her campus visit. “I walked on to the campus, and it was just like I was welcomed with open arms,” Fisher said. “And being able to talk to Coach K and Coach Zach, they’re just really welcoming people, and they just treat you like family.”
