McKinney: All-District 9-4A team loaded with city softball players
By Andrew May, McKinney Courier-Gazette
A consolation prize for getting knocked out of the postseason in the first round, it isn’t.
But combining to land 20 players on the all-district awards list is a feat the McKinney and McKinney North softball teams can certainly take pride in.
Despite finishing in fourth place in 9-4A, North was recognized more than any other school, garnering 11 total recognitions after a season that saw the Lady Bulldogs go 23-10 overall and 10-4 in league play.
