Demon head softball coach Angie Shrader said that the players this year set a good example to younger kids that you can be good at anything weather it is softball, or academics.

“It’s just nice that our kids can get that recognition and now there are things that underclassmen can look forward to,” Shrader said. “Maybe they are not the most talented athletic wise, but they can shoot for another goal, and academic wise be [all-state], and that just gives them things and options to shoot for, and I think that is just a great accomplishment for our girls.”

Washington also had 10 academic all conference players, more than all of the players from the other schools combined. Those are Tamera Alexander, Bohr, Buchholz, Ellingson, Erwin, Fishback, Jaspering, Amber Linnenkamp, Rausch and Redlinger. You must be a junior or senior to win this award.

Washington finished as conference champions with a 12-4 record.
