MONTGOMERY – The North-South Softball All-Star Teams have been selected for the 2022 AHSAA North-South All-Star Sports Week, announced Brandon Dean, Director of the Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Association (AHSADCA).

  The teams comprised of 2023 rising seniors were chosen by a special coaches committee from nominations received from AHSAA member school coaches.

“Softball in the AHSAA continues to get stronger and stronger, and these two all-star squads reflect that fact. Both squads are filled with outstanding softball players and coaches from our member schools,” said Dean. “We look forward to watching them in the All-Star competition set for the All-Star Sports Week this summer.”
