TRUSSVILLE — The 2020 North-South Girls’ and Boys’ Golf All-Star Teams were announced on Monday afternoon and two local rising seniors were among the two 10-member teams that were scheduled to compete against one another before the Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Association canceled its annual All-Star Sports Week this summer as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
The teams were selected by a committee who reviewed nominations from AHSAA member school golf coaches.
“We are proud to announce these teams even though we are disappointed that the All-Star competition set for the All-Star Sports Week this summer has been canceled,” Jamie Lee, Director of the Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Association, said. “Nonetheless, these 40 individual players earned this recognition and will be receiving certificates from the AHSADCA for their selection to these prestigious squads.”
Representing the North girls’ all-star team will be rising senior Robyn Blakey, of Leeds.
Representing the North boys’ all-star team will be rising senior Cole Davidson, of Hewitt-Trussville.
The AHSADCA has announced that it will release the boys’ and girls’ tennis, baseball, softball and boys’ and girls’ soccer all-star teams later this week.
The golf all-star competition was held for the first time in 2019. The North All-Stars defeated the South All-Stars in match play in both the boys’ and girls’ divisions. The event was held at the Montgomery Country Club.
