Softball: Vote for the 2023 LebCo All-Stars!

Throughout the 2023 season high school softball season, there were several outstanding individual performances that paced the LebCo teams.  Working with the coaches/representatives from each program, we narrowed down the list to a much smaller group than the number of overall talented young ladies who played this past season.

Now, we need your help in determining who deserves the following awards: Pitcher of the Year, Player of the Year, and Rookie of the Year.  You will then also be asked to give us your opinion on who you feel who deserves to be named as the LebCo Softball MVP for the 2023 season.

It is very important to note that while voting is involved, the main purpose is to draw attention to the hardworking athletes that competed for LebCo’s high schools this past season.

Read about the accolades of the nominated athletes from each school, then go vote!

Voting will remain open until Sunday, July 9th at 10 pm.
