She was named First Team All State, First Team All KC Metro, First Team All Johnson County, First Team All Sun, and First Team All League. On top of that she led her team to a Regional Championship.

Goodwin received her first Varsity letter her freshman year and made an impact to the team right away. Despite her young age, Goodwin had an amazing season.

Head Coach of KC Wahoos Deb Schmidt on Goodwin: "Stephanie's age is not a hindrance as she has played up in age her whole softball career.  She has one of the sweetest swings of any player for her or any other age."

Lizabeth Buck is another top player for the KC Wahoos. She is a first baseman and outfielder for Blue Valley West High School and will graduate in 2010.

She has had two great years playing for Blue Valley West. In 2007 she was named Second Team All Johnson County and Second Team All Sun County as an infielder. She also was a First Team All League selection.

Head Coach Deb Schmidt on Buck: "Liz has great natural abilities and is an excellent contact hitter. She brings a lot of athleticism to the field. She is a good contact hitter who also has a little extra pop in her bat."
