Twin River’s (Neb.) JLee Van Driel captured the latest MaxPreps/NFCA National High School Fall Player of the Week award, the Association announced on Monday. She is being recognized for her outstanding play for the week of Sept. 8-14.

JLee had a jaw-dropping .833 on-base percentage last week.

Van Driel batted .750 (9-for-12) with two doubles, four home runs, nine RBI and 15 runs scored, keying the Titans to a 5-1 week.

She also drew nine walks, including six over the final two games of the week, to finish with an .833 on-base percentage and was also a menace on the base paths with 19 steals.

The junior went 4-for-4 in a win over Adams Central with a pair of long balls, four RBI, four runs scored and four stolen bases.

Van Driel also homered in wins over Polk County (2 RBI, 4 R) and Highway 91 (2B, 3 RBI) and was walked three times each against York and Lakeview.

Also, earlier this month, the standout junior was ranked No. 30 in the Line Drive 2027 HOT 100:

Thank you @LineDsoftball, @BrenttEads and @los_stuff for ranking me #30 in the class of 2027. I am honored to be alongside so many amazing athletes. https://t.co/Gd1T5sLIDW
