11 Mid-Penn softball players earn PHSSBCA all-state honors

With the high school softball season over in Pennsylvania, postseason awards are all now finalized.

Earlier in June, PennLive announced its All-Stars and Player of the Year.

On Friday, the Pennsylvania High School Softball Coaches Association (PHSSBCA) revealed their top honors, announcing its All-State Team for the 2024 season.

And with the announcement came plenty of Mid-Penn flavor, with 10 local softball stars earning honors.

In 6A, first-team honors went to Central Dauphin’s Kayla Fletcher (shortstop) and Allie Wernich (outfield), Chambersburg’s Samantha Paetow (catcher), Bree Paetow (second base) and Karley Skultety (first base) and Cumberland Valley’s Emma Morgan (second base) and Annika Shearer (outfield).

Cumberland Valley’s Sydney May (pitcher) and Emma Stroup (third base) earned second-team honors.

In 5A, Mechanicsburg’s Emily Bittner earned first-team honors at catcher, while the Wildcats’ Sam Rybacki took a first-team utility player spot.

Here are the full teams.
