2012 overall record: 15-6
2012 region record (place): 9-3 (tied for second)
2012 playoff results: Defeated Youngsville 8-4 in the District 10 Class A quarterfinals before losing to Saegertown 1-0 in the semifinals.
Top players lost: Dani Monaco, Amanda Bowers, Amanda Novosel
Top returning players: Chelsey Reed, Jade Kroesen, Taylor Gilliland, Aly Andrusky, Jordyn Allen
Assistant coaches: Rachel Catale, Bob Michaels, Dan Kristyak
Outlook: West Middlesex gave Saegertown everything it could handle in the District 10 Class A semifinals last year. The Big Reds have a solid team back to make another run in the playoffs. West Middlesex will have to replace Dani Monaco, Amanda Bowers and Amanda Novosel, who graduated in the spring. Novosel was voted to the all-region first team at shortstop, while Bowes was a second-team third baseman and Monaco was a second-team outfielder. The Big Reds return everyone else, including Chelsey Reed, Jade Kroesen, Taylor Gilliland, Aly Andrusky and Jordyn Allen. Allen was voted to the first team as a pitcher and Andrusky (catcher) and Kroesen (second base) were named to the second team. West Middlesex has to replace its corner infielders and corner outfielders but everyone else is back. The Big Reds will also be without Megan Hazlett for a few weeks as she rehabs from an offseason injury. Freshman pitcher Tori Roth could step in and start right away or at least contribute this season. The Big Reds have experience and a strong program but they will need several underclassmen to step up this season to get back to the postseason.

2012 playoff results: Defeated Hickory 6-2 in the District 10 Class AAA semifinals before losing to Fort LeBoeuf 9-2 in the D-10 championship.
Top players lost: Samantha Bevevino, Rachel Hasselman, Kristin Hultquist, Shaley Williams
Top returning players: Erica Blair, Jaimie Eaton, Taylor Mineweaser, Alexa Bupp, Kaitlin Ishman, Kennedy Walter
Assistant coaches: Mark Blasdell, Tony Hasselman, Ed Loutzenhiser, Terry Wilson, Keith Confer, Chet Munksgard
Outlook: Warren was frustrated by Fort LeBoeuf last season but that could change this year. The Dragons return a loaded team with plenty of experience. Warren has some roster spots to fill with the graduation of Samantha Bevevino, Rachel Hasselman, Kristin Hultquist and Shaley Williams. Hasselman was voted to the all-region first team at first base and Hutlquist was a first-team outfielder. The Dragons return Erica Blair, Jaimie Eaton, Taylor Mineweaser, Alexa Bupp, Kaitlin Ishman and Kennedy Walter. Bupp has been dominant since her freshman season and is primed for a big junior year. She was voted to the all-region first team at pitcher and the region player and pitcher of the year. Ishman is a returning first-team selection at second base and Mineweaser is a second-team designated player. Warren lost four starters to graduation but has plenty of talented players back to make a run at the D-10 championship. The Dragons will get two shots at Fort LeBoeuf in region play before a possible third meeting in the D-10 playoffs. Warren has become deep enough to fill in graduation losses but building that extra chemistry will be key this spring.

Coach (season): Frank Snyder (1st season)
2012 overall record: 7-11

2012 playoff results: Did not qualify for the District 10 playoffs.
Top players lost: Matti Uber, Katie Kirik, Caitlynn Miller, Lauren Miller
Top returning players: Noelle Wienczkowski, Morgan Peterson, Lakyn Brumagin, Stacey Boyce, Meghan Mongera, Carrie Brown, Courtney Brumagin
Assistant coaches: Mike Krause, Dawn Frontera, Denise Bisbee
Outlook: It’ll be an unusual look for Union City this season with Jerry Van Zandt retiring in the offseason. Frank Snyder, a longtime assistant to Van Zandt, takes over this spring. Snyder will have some players to replace as Matti Uber and Katie Kirik graduated, while Caitlynn Miller and Lauren Miller decided not to play this season. Kirik was voted to the all-region second team at outfield as a senior. The Bears return Noelle Wienczkowski, Morgan Peterson, Lakyn Brumagin, Stacey Boyce, Meghan Mongera, Carrie Brown and Courtney Brumagin this spring. Wienczkowski was voted to the all-region second team at pitcher last season. Autumn Kinney, Jena Chelton, Tori Migliaccio, Carly Williams, Hayley Patchen, Jordyn Kosienski, Mariah Coleman and Mikayla Conant are new players to the varsity level that could contribute right away. Union City has senior leadership and the program has become a perennial contender. The Bears will need several younger players to step up and fill four starting positions. Union City is in a tough region loaded with Crawford County teams. If the Bears can keep their strong program going under a new, but familiar coach, they will be a tough team to beat this season.

Top player lost: Laney Brown
Top returning players: Shana Grosch, Kate Garrett, Kim Finley, Amy Clark, Marie Johnson, MacKenna Vandervort, Megan Bowser, Katie Neely
Assistant coaches: Megan Titus, Mark Sawatsky
Outlook: Titusville will face new challenges this season with a new region. The Rockets ran into former region rival Wilmington in the D-10 semifinals last season and are looking to get back to the playoffs. Titusville will have to replace Laney Brown, an outfielder who hit .445 and graduated in the spring. The Rockets have everyone else back, including Shana Grosch, Kate Garrett, Kim Finley, Amy Clark, Marie Johnson, MacKenna Vandervort, Megan Bowser and Katie Neely. Grosch (pitcher), Garrett (outfield), Finley (third base), Clark (catcher) and Johnson (second base) are first-team selections, while Vandervort (outfield) and Bowser (first base) are second-team picks. Grosch was voted region pitcher of the year and Clark is the region player of the year. Titusville returns eight of nine starters this season and has the talent to make a playoff run. The Rockets have plenty of offensive firepower and a solid pitcher in Grosch. Titusville is a strong favorite to win its new region and looks like the strongest contender to keep Fairview from winning another D-10 Class AA title.

Top returning players: Davonna Battle, Sara Bogle, Alyssa Brutto, Haley Hess, Lydia Jobczynski, Tiffany Jones, Christina Lachica, Myah Malone, Taylor Munson, Heidi Peck, Stephanie Peck
Assistant coaches: Laura Morgan, Jerry Dunn, Heather Chaffee
Outlook: Strong Vincent ran into a tough McDowell team in the District 10 Class AAAA championship in the spring. The Colonels have an experienced team back loaded with talent. Julie Rhines is the only player lost to graduation in the outfield. Davonna Battle, Sara Bogle, Alyssa Brutto, Haley Hess, Lydia Jobczynski, Tiffany Jones, Christina Lachica, Myah Malone, Taylor Munson, Heidi Peck and Stephanie Peck are back for the Colonels. Lachica hit .343 last year and Munson had a .383 batting average. Peck led all Vincent players with a .517 batting average. Erin Erdely, Meghan Erdely, Katie Ghastin, Gabrielle Hess, Miranda McAllister, Hannah Rhodes and Carly Wilson are new players this season that could contribute for the Colonels. Vincent has enough experience to get back to the D-10 championship, and how well the Colonels develop as a team will determine if they can knock off McDowell.

2012 playoff results: Defeated Reynolds 8-2 in the District 10 Class A semifinals before losing to Saegertown 11-2 in the D-10 championship.
Top players lost: Hanley Spencer, Katie Hanley, Kristy Roberts, Taylor O’Conner, Molly Gill
Top returning players: McKenzie Popatak, Megan Davis, Rachel Harenchar, Madelyn Shuttleworth, Megan Whalen
Assistant coaches: Cory Sternthal, Kirk Messett, Keith Wansack, Kelley Thompson
Outlook: Sharpsville ran into powerhouse Saegertown in the District 10 Class A championship last season. The Blue Devils will have to replace several talented players to get back to the D-10 game this year. Hanley Spencer, Katie Hanley, Kristy Roberts, Taylor O’Conner and Molly Gill are gone to graduation. Gill (first base), Roberts (second team), O’Connor (third base), Hanley (outfield) and Spencer (pitcher) were all-region first-team selections as seniors. The Blue Devils have experienced players back, including McKenzie Popatak, Megan Davis, Rachel Harenchar, Madelyn Shuttleworth and Megan Whalen. Popatak is a first-team selection at catcher and was voted the region player of the year. Harenchar was voted to the all-region second team at designated player. Sharpsville will need to play strong defense until several players step up as offensive weapons. The Blue Devils have nine freshmen on the roster and inexperience could be an issue early on. If Sharpsville can develop chemistry as the season goes on, the Blue Devils will be a tough out in the District 10 Class A playoffs.

2012 playoff results: Did not qualify for the District 10 playoffs.
Top players lost: Diana Revale, Yonshale Powell
Top returning players: Mallory Torr, Kristina Jacoway, Gabby Gadola, Amelia Crawford, Taylor Moore, Abriana Dellibovi, Kayla Reardon, Kelsie McGranahan
Assistant coaches: Geno Rossi, Julie Norris
Outlook: Sharon has steadily improved under third-year coach Mike Bochert and the Tigers are looking to make the next step and finish above .500. Sharon has only two seniors back this year after losing Diana Revale and Yonshale Powell to graduation. Powell was a first-team all-region outfielder as a senior. The Tigers return Mallory Torr, Kristina Jacoway, Gabby Gadola, Amelia Crawford, Taylor Moore, Abriana Dellibovi, Kayla Reardon and Kelsie McGranahan to lead a young team. Dellibovi is a first-team designated player, while Gadola is a second-team pitcher and McGranahan is a second-team outfielder. Sharon could also receive contrbutions from new player Marissa Monnin, a senior. The Tigers went 13-1 over the summer in the Mercer County league and have developed confidence as a program. Sharon has speed and depth and will need to overcome its youth and inexperience to start the season. The Tigers might be one year away but teams shouldn’t sleep on them this season.

Top players lost: Amanda Cavarretta, Bev Allen, Erica Biby
Top returning players: Jenna Wright, Meghan McChesney, Kaitlyn babe, Courtney Bender, Carrie Biebel, Sam Heverly, Alexa Snarski
Assistant coach: Tim Schweitzer
Outlook: Seneca is a brutal situation in Region 4. Not only is the region loaded with talented teams, it added Harbor Creek as well. The Bobcats are looking to rebuild and it won’t be easy with tough opponents in each region game. Amanda Cavarretta, Bev Allen and Erica Biby are key losses for Seneca. All three graduated and were important parts of last year’s team. The Bobcats will have some experience back to rely on. Jenna Wright, Meghan McChesney, Kaitlyn babe, Courtney Bender, Carrie Biebel, Sam Heverly and Alexa Snarski all return this season. McChesney was a first-team all-region designated player, while Babe was voted to the second team at third base. With a team of almost all sophomores and juniors, the Bobcats could be one year away from making a serious move. Seneca will work to develop its program this season and could do some damage in 2014.
