Kennedy Coleman – SS

Coleman would have been a four-year varsity starter for the Potosi softball team this spring and will go down as one of the most decorated players in the program’s history. She was a vocal leader for the team from the time she was a freshman and was the glue of the defense at the shortstop position from the very beginning. Coleman was also the sparkplug for the offense, consistently getting on base at the top of the lineup. She was always positive and coachable and went about things the right way. Coleman was a three-time All-Conference and All-District selection and was named All-State last year. In 2019, she hit .494 with 39 runs scored. Coleman will be attending Mineral Area College in the fall where she will join the Cardinals’ softball team.

Chelsea Charboneau – OF

Charboneau was going to be a four-year starter for the Trojans softball team this spring and was a versatile player who filled multiple roles in her time at Potosi. She was a strong defender who could play both the infield and the outfield when needed. Charboneau also had great pop in her bat when she got ahold of the ball. She was a leader by example, always doing things the right way and working hard. Charboneau plans to join the United State Air Force after graduation.

Catie Mosier – DP, 1B

Mosier was a returning player for the Potosi softball team this spring and was a clutch hitter for the team during last year’s state run. She dealt with an ACL injury early in her career but showed tremendous dedication and mental toughness in overcoming that injury to become a key player for the Trojans last season. Mosier showed up every day with a positive attitude and set a great example for the rest of the team and how to battle through adversity. She is currently undecided on where she will attend college.
