On Monday, Nov. 18, 2019, North Penn seniors Amanda Greaney and Victoria Juckniewitz were recognized for committing to continue their softball careers at the collegiate level. Check back for photos of the event.
“Amanda and Victoria have started every game since they were freshmen, which is really hard to do here because of the talent,” coach Rick Torresani said. “They’ve won 60 games in three years, and we only play 20 games plus the playoffs, so that indicates where they’ve gone in the season. They are three-time conference champions, they have been in the district final once, and the last two years they made it to the state quarterfinals, losing last year to the eventual state champion in 12 innings. That’s something to be proud of.
“I’m extremely proud of them. They’ve been leaders since they were freshmen, and they’ve grown since they were freshmen to now that they’re seniors and have one more year to build on what they’ve done. If we are lucky enough to win our fourth conference championship – I don’t know how many athletes can walk out of here and say they’ve played every game hopefully and won four conference championships, and we have the team to do that this year.
“Not only did they do that last year for their school team, they made the 2019 Phillies Carpenter Cup team. Their leadership on that team from the SOL - to come out and win the Carpenter Cup was outstanding. These two ladies were integral parts not only on the field but as leaders. I’m looking forward to watching them play this year and the kind of things they can do this year.”
