All Mountain Co-Coaches of the Year
Sam Sparks — Lawrence County: Sparks and the Lady Bulldogs had an outstanding season. The Lady Bulldogs finished the season with a 26-8 record. Lawrence County won the 15th Region Tournament with a dramatic come-from-behind win over Pike Central in the championship. The Lady Bulldogs went on to advance to the KHSAA State Softball Tournament semifinals.
Randy Hannah — Pike Central: Pike Central was kind of silent during the early part of the regular season. Once Randy Hannah got starting pitcher Riley Spann healthy and ready to go, the Lady Hawks went on a phenomenal run. Pike Central won the 60th District Tournament. Then the Lady Hawks rolled past Floyd Central and Shelby Valley on their way to the 15th Region championship. Pike Central held a 3-0 lead for most of the game.
