Softball rosters set for this year’s North-South All-Star game

The stage is set for an exciting summer showcase as the AHSAA has officially released the rosters for the 2026 North-South All-Star Softball Game. Many of the standout athletes who dominated the diamond during last week’s state tournament in Oxford will carry that momentum into this prestigious event.

The competition, which features top-tier rising seniors, will serve as a highlight during All-Star Week, scheduled for July 20-24 in Montgomery.
