The Cardinals entered the week ranked No. 1 in the most recent Wisconsin Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association and a lethal batting order is one reason they sit atop the poll. Any of a number of players could have received the nod during a 5-0 week for Pacelli, but Schroeder edged out the competition on the strength of a 9-for-10 streak at the plate in wins over Amherst, Thorp and Wittenberg-Birnamwood.
AUBREY DROHNER

There is no question her performance on the diamond was deserving of some recognition this week. The only question is whether Drohner was more effective in the circle or at the plate. In three pitching starts, Drohner didn't allow any runs in wins over Marshfield, No. 1 La Crosse Logan (Division 2) and No. 6 Weyauwega-Fremont (Division 3) while surrendering just nine combined hits and striking out 22 in 21 innings. Drohner also went 4-for-8 with a home run and two RBI at the plate.

After sitting behind standout Bradley Luetschwager in the No. 2 singles position the past three years, Bancker has been been making a name for himself in the top singles position this spring. Bancker has dropped just one match in the Wisconsin Valley Conference entering a showdown with unbeaten Sean Bailey of Wausau West today. Bancker posted a 6-0, 6-1 win over D.C. Everest's Meng Yang on Thursday to help the Panthers to a 7-0 dual meet victory. Bancker owns a 13-7 record as he adjusts to a new role this season.

Thursday will a day to remember for the Cardinals' scoring machine. After committing to Division I Ohio University on Feb. 15, Gollon makes it official when he will sign a national letter of intent with the Bobcats at the school Thursday morning. Gollon is coming off a season in which he finished second in the state in scoring with an average of 30.7 point per game. Coming off a hip injury prior to his junior season, Gollon returned to 100 percent prior to this season and his scoring talents shown through as he lit up scoreboards throughout central Wisconsin on the way to being named the Gannett Central Wisconsin Boys Player of the Year.
