2024 SSN’s All-Mercer County Softball Team, Madison Wendel Named POY

(5-19-24) The 2024 SSN All-Mercer County Softball team has been named.

Coldwater’s Madison Wendel for the 4th consecutive and final time has been named the SSN Player of the Year.

Wendel, a Central Michigan commit, has put together one of the most impressive careers in Mercer County softball history.

Just some of the hitting records she will leave behind when she graduates…. the school’s single-season home run record, the school’s career hits record, the MAC record for career homers and tied the OHSAA record for most homers in a doubleheader with five.
