Maddie Penta Gatorade 2019 - 2020: Player of the Year Softball

“Madison’s work ethic toward the game of softball is beyond comparison. She is the type of player that after a two-and-a-half-hour practice will put in another two hours once everyone else has taken off their cleats. She knows the process of growth and what it takes to improve and she commits to it.”
