Another season has come. Another season has (almost) gone.

The spring has seen a slew of great performances. One team, Seneca Valley baseball, is improbably still playing. (There will be more on that later).

Here are my awards for the best-of-the-best this spring:

Prolific Scorer of the Year: Bella Alampi, Mars girls lacrosse. All the sophomore did was find the net 97 times — in one season.

That’s two years’ worth of goals for most high school girls lacrosse players. But Alampi, as unstoppable as she was, did it in one.

Alampi was one of the main reasons why the Planets made the playoffs in their first season.

Comeback of the Year: Tie between Seneca Valley senior pitcher Connor Coward and his team. This story may be too saccharine even for Hollywood.

Here’s the plot: Ace pitcher has back problems. Tries to play, but can’t. Without him, typically successful team struggles mightily. Team, teetering on the edge of missing playoffs, sneaks in. Ace pitcher, thought lost for the season, miraculously comes back. Pitcher leads team to WPIAL title and state playoff win.

Yeah. Could never happen, right?

Only it did.

Record Breaker of the Year: Emily Campbell, Slippery Rock senior thrower. Campbell broke the Rockets’ school record in the discus not one, not two, not three ... you get the idea.

Six times.

Six.

And she won a state title in the event. And coming into the season, it wasn’t even her best event. The shot put was.

Her best throw of 148 feet, 3 inches was more than 30 feet better than her next closest competitor in Butler County.

Freshmen of the Year: The Moniteau softball Super Six.

Two-thirds of the Warriors’ starting lineup were born right around the dawn of the 21st century. But they turned out to be seasoned veterans, leading Moniteau to a 20-0 record before a state playoff loss.

And they will be around for another three years.

Bad Decision Makers of the Year. This is a tie between the WPIAL and District 9.

The WPIAL failed to postpone the district’s track and field championship on a day more suited for duck races than foot races. It wasn’t until there was several inches of water on the track that they called it a day and resumed it once Noah’s Ark had left port.

Then, a week later, they postponed a full slate of baseball and softball playoff games on a bright, sunshiny day.

District 9 decided to play the Karns City-Moniteau baseball and softball championship games on the same day ... at the same site ... at the same time, thus guaranteeing no one could watch both.

It was a terribly inconsiderate move that left many fans from both schools irate.

But, at least they were dry.
