While no area player was named Overall Player of the Year or Pitcher of the Year, the area had plenty of first- and second-team all-state selections.

South Williamsport reached the PIAA Class AA championship game this past June, capping an outstanding run as silver medalists. So it’s no surprise that four members of the Mounties’ softball team were named all-state this spring.

South Williamsport’s Alizabeth Schuler, who had a standout season as both a hitter and a pitcher, earned first-team honors as a utility player in Class AA with Sage Smeltz of Williams Valley.
