BERRIEN SPRINGS — The top two teams in the Wolverine Conference — Edwardsburg and Vicksburg — which met in the regional semifinal at Berrien Springs June 10, dominated the Michigan High School Softball Coaches Association Division 2 All-Region team which was announced this week.

The Eddies and Bulldogs, who shared the conference championship, combined for 10 players on the all-regional squad, led by Edwardsburg’s six selections. Wayland also had six players selected by the regional coaches. Vicksburg had five players picked.

Representing the Eddies were Lindsey Dalenberg (outfield), Caitlin Tighe (shortop), Averie Markel (first base), Lani Hardin (catcher), Samantha Baker (utility player) and Emma Denison (designated player).

Dowagiac’s Aubrey Busby was also selected as an outfielder.

All-region is the second step in the all-state process. The Division 2 All-State squad will be selected this weekend during the state championship weekend in East Lansing.
