Maddox Stoughton turned in a .507 batting average with three home runs, 33 RBI, and 20 scored runs while also going 4-1 on the mound with a 2.33 ERA as Gananda won the Wayne County league and earned the top-seed in the Section V Class C1 bracket.
As a result of his efforts, Wayne County coaches named the junior second-baseman the league’s Player of the Year.
Stoughton was a part of a Blue Panthers’ squad that had a season that featured a 17-game winning streak and their third sectional title in program history. In the sectional quarterfinals, Stoughton finished 2-for-3 with two scored runs and a three-run home run to spark a nine-run inning that guided Gananda to a win.
