P-O’s representatives included pitcher Kam Harris, catcher Kylie Thal, shortstop Hannah Thompson and outfielder Madison Lucas.

State College had five girls make the Class 5A/6A team. They were first baseman Caitlyn Brannon, third baseman Brandi Triebold, shortstop Morgan Arnold, and outfielders Sarah Bowman and Ashley Thomas.
