Cudahy senior infielder Alisa Damitz became the second Packer ever to be named to the NOW All-Suburban Softball Team.
Damitz, one of five infielders chosen for this year's team, joined Cudahy's Kelly Wilde, a 2008 selection.
The team also included New Berlin Eisenhower's Lauren Beres (pitcher), Kayla Schlegel (pitcher), Liz Wiese (outfield) and Megan Duerlinger (catcher); Menomonee Falls' Beth Nitz (pitcher) and Morgan McCoy (outfield); Greenfield's Shannon Butts (utility), Stacey Butts (infield) and Sara Fisher (outfield); Brookfield East's Lexi Sotiros (infield); Germantown's Amy Johnson (infield) and Janelle Schroeder (utility); and Homestead's Michelle Zoeller (infield).
Shannon Butts was named the player of the year. Greenfield's Jack Miller is the coach of the year.
For the first time ever, fans could vote online for which players they thought should make the team. Fan voting accounted for 25 percent of the selection process; staff voting made up the rest.
The leading vote-getters at each position were: utility - Shannon Butts (94 votes); outfield - Fisher (69); infield - Stacey Butts (89); pitcher - Cudahy's Sam Homa (86); catcher - Duerlinger (108); coach of the year - Miller (89); and player of the year - Sotiros (74).
Though Homa led the online voting for pitchers, she did not garner enough staff votes and was named high honorable mention.
