And why shouldn't she jump for joy?
On the heels of Colerain Baseball star Nick Priessman being named the Northwest Press Sportsmen of the year award, the accolades continue for Colerain Athletics. WeAreColerain.com is happy to report to our readers that Colerain Softball Ace hurler Emily Schwaeble was selected as the Cincinnati Enquirer's Division I Softball Player of the Year!

Emily's stats are well documented and her achievements on the field will be remembered for a very long time in the Colerain Softball Family. Below are some excerpts from the Enquirer from the Enquirer on Emily:
"Schwaeble surpassed 1,096 career strikeouts in early May. She finished the season with a 20-8 record, 364 strikeouts, 12 shutouts and a 0.55 ERA in 1911/3 innings. She was Division I first-team all-state and first-team all-Greater Miami Conference.
Schwaeble, who has committed to play at Northern Kentucky University, helped the Cardinals to their first state final four appearance.
Schwaeble, who has committed to play at Northern Kentucky University, helped the Cardinals to their first state final four appearance.
'I think she is such a competitor," Colerain coach Susan Dayton said. "Nothing bothers her. ... She just won't quit; she literally plays until the last out or last strike.' "
Emily will go down as one of the greatest athletes in Colerain history and arguably the greatest female athlete to ever walk the halls of CHS.
WeAreColerain.com enjoyed watching Emily immensely and wish her the very best of luck in her future at Division II softball powerhouse Northern Kentucky University next season.
Joining Emily in the awards parade was Senior SS Andy Amrein who was selected Division I 1st Team All City. Andy had an incredible season as she helped lead her teammates to the State Final Four! Way to go Andy!
And if that were not enough...the architecht of this incredible season, Coach Susan Dayton was selected as the Division I Softball Girls Coach of the Year! WOW!!!
No question the bar has been permanently raised at 8801 Cheviot Road but I venture to guess that is exactly the way we want it.
Congratulations Cardinals!
We Are....Colerain!!
