The July 19 AHSAA North-South All-Star Softball Game rosters have been announced by the Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Association. The two teams will play in the 27th annual event at Montgomery’s Lagoon Park as part of All-Star Week.

AHSAA All-Star games for rising seniors will also be played in basketball, baseball, volleyball, boys and girls soccer, cross country, tennis and golf during the All-Star Week, July 17-22.

The 64th annual North-South All-Star Football Game was played last December at Mobile with the South winning 42-7.

Christy Ferguson of Danville and Becky Seymour of Moody will coach the North All-Star team with Kent Chambers of Bob Jones serving as the administrative coach. The South coaches are Chris Steiner of Brewbaker Tech and Cindy Hawthorne of Brantley. Susan Barnes of Elba will be the administrative coach. Steiner led Brewbaker Tech to the Class 5A state title last week and Hawthorne led Brantley to the 1A crown.
