BHS Maddie Willis second in NWC softball balloting

In voting by Northwest Conference softball coaches for the 2015 softball season senior Hope Schroeder, a pitcher from Columbus Grove, was named Player of the Year after being runner-up for that honor during the 2014 season.  

Schroeder received first-place votes from 7 of the conference coaches.  Coaches may not vote for players from their own schools. 

Bluffton senior Maddie Willis finished second in the balloting with Allen East sophomore Ariana Schmiedebusch finishing third.

Allen East coach Bill Mattevi tallied 19 points to be named Coach of the Year at the all-conference selection meeting Monday evening in Delphos. Mattevi led the Mustangs to a 7-1 record and a Northwest Conference co-championship. Carl Etzler of the co-champion Crestview Knights finished second in the balloting.
