The Heart O' Lakes Conference announced its 2021 All-Conference softball team members and honorable mentions, which included three members of the Perham Yellowjackets. Katie Johnson and Lily Lorenson were named to the All-Conference team, and Grayce Mickelson received an honorable mention.
Johnson, Lorenson, and Mickelson were also awarded Section 8AA honors for the 2021 season. The Yellowjackets had an overall season record of 11-13, with a conference record of 5-7 and a section record of 5-9.
In the section playoffs, Perham defeated Wadena-Deer Creek 13-1 before losing to Frazee 8-0. Because the playoffs were double elimination, the Yellowjackets played and defeated Barnesville 10-9 before their season was ended Tuesday, June 8, when they lost 8-7 to Thief River Falls.
