All Time All-State Players

Softball players in Wisconsin were not recognized by the media as all state until after the 1991 season. Poynette certainly had players prior to that season that were among the elite players in the state during their careers as Indians. Players such as Nancy Mason, Karen Vogts, Tracy Elsing, Sue Saager, Amy Holak, Teresa Kiefer, Sue Seaman, Robin Reddeman, Missy Vaningan, Marni Vaningan, Brenda Hellegers, Cathy Rittmeyer, Connie Baerwolf, Debbie Doherty, Tricia Caldwell, Kari Hoyheim and others would surely have been in the running for such an honor. Girls selected by the WFSCA as all state players have their jerseys painted on the walls of the dugouts at Diamond of Champions.

Nancy Mason Career Achievement Award
Nancy Mason was the first-ever shortstop for Poynette's softball program. She was a tough competitor whose skills levels were far ahead of her time. She would even in this day and age be the Poynette shortstop if she were just entering high school. Nancy tragically died in a house fire that also took the lives of her five children. Her jersey is painted on the ends of both dugouts at Diamond of champions in honor of her. It is our way of making sure that our softball program will never forget the contributions she made and the height of the bar she set. Starting in 2010 the coaching staff started choosing a graduating softball player who had played all four years in high school as the recipient of this award. The recipient's jersey is added to the wall of the dugouts at Diamond of Champions.

2010 - Katlyn Saley - Second Base
2011 - Alisha Saley - Outfield
