HONOR ROLL

Here are the players who were voted to this season''s All-Suburban Softball Team

 

 

Making the Team

How they are chosen

  • The NOW sports staff begins compiling each All-Suburban team by contacting all coaches in its coverage area and asking for nominations. Coaches provide comments on each player and season statistics.
  • That information is put on a ballot to which NOW reporters add their own first-hand impressions of players.
  • Each staff member then votes for the players he feels should be on the team, ranking them on a numerical scale. Online votes are tabulated and count for 20 percent of the final tally. The player with the most points is named the Player of the Year and the next nine players are also named to the team.
  • Those players receiving votes who do not make the team earn high honorable mention and those who are nominated but don't receive votes earn honorable mention.

 

2010 All-Suburban Softball Team


Muskego's Gnacinski a quiet leader

NOW All-Suburban Player of the Year Ashley Gnacinski of Muskego does not seek out the spotlight. But the monster year she had at the plate and on the mound made it impossible to ignore the modest junior, who still prefers to credit her teammates and coaches for her success.
