Who readers voted Palm Beach's top Softball Player of the Year, state champion of 2000-25
The results are in from the first of The Palm Beach Post's "Summer Celebration" series.
Palm Beach County high school softball fans had their say last week in reader polls that highlighted 25 years of The Post's Player of the Year award winners and state championship teams.
The Sunday, June 8 print edition featured a spread of images and biographies of each player or team as well as "Where are they now?" features and a column making the case for the top local program of the last 25 years.
2013 Class 3A state champion: American Heritage-Delray
Here's a look at which local teams and players readers selected:
2013: Corrie Boggess, American Heritage-Delray
2013: American Heritage-Delray (3A)
It was a clean sweep for American Heritage-Delray softball with the 2013 team winning best state champion and Corrie Boggess best Player of the Year winner.
Boggess, who transferred from Wellington after the 2011 season, was the slugging and pitching centerpiece on a Stallions team that completed a three-peat as state championships under head coach Kevin Drake.
She posted a 1.28 ERA and 103 strikeouts as a pitcher while powering the American Heritage offense with a .479 average, three home runs and 31 RBIs.
The Stallions suffered a pair of three-game losing streaks in the regular season but shaped up in the postseason, allowing just five total runs in five postseason victories, including a 1-0 win over Bishop Snyder in the state final.
Key players: Corrie Boggess (1.28 ERA, 103 strikeouts, .479 BA, three HR, 31 RBIs), Jessica Mohl (.468 BA, 26 RBIs), Marissa Mangini (.454 BA), Toni Pancione, Whitney Farris, Ashley Niesman, Stephanie Sciandra, Sarah Collier, Casey Estes, Samantha Green, Kerri Stevens.
