Two Wilmot players also land on squad

By Dan Truttschel~Sports Correspondent

Two members of the Wilmot softball team recently received All-Southern Lakes Conference recognition.

Senior catcher Taylor Kontaxis was a second-team selection, while freshman infielder-outfielder Sawyer Wightman landed on honorable mention.

Wilmot posted a 14-9 overall record in 2013, including an 8-6 mark in the SLC, good for fourth place behind Westosha Central, Waterford and Union Grove.

The Panthers captured a regional championship under first-year head coach Pat Dopke, as they defeated Elkhorn and Fort Atkinson. Wilmot’s season ended in a 10-0 loss in the sectional to Central, which brought home the Division 1 state championship last week.

Kontaxis, who moved to Wilmot for her junior season, batted .320 in 23 games this spring. She collected 24 hits in 75 at bats, including four doubles and a triple. She also drove in 12 runs for the Panthers.

Wightman was one of five freshmen on the varsity roster this spring. She batted .373 (22 for 59) with 15 runs scored, two doubles, a triple and a home run. She also drove in 13 runs.
