The Madison County High School (MCHS) Cowgirls held a joint volleyball and softball sports banquet in the MCHS cafeteria on Thursday, May 27. The decision to honor both teams was made because MCHS was still dealing with quarantine issues when the volleyball season ended in the late fall. Many of the athletes played on both teams. The varsity and junior varsity (JV) softball and volleyball teams were recognized. Individual awards were presented to certain athletes from all four teams as well.
The Varsity Softball Offensive Player of the Year was Carter Gore. The Varsity Softball Pitching/Defensive Player of the Year was Josie Driggers. The Varsity Softball Most Improved Player was Merridy Archambault. The Varsity Softball Cowgirl Award went to Halie Wetherington.
The JV Softball Offensive Player of the Year was Tsadi Irvine. The JV Softball Pitching/Defensive Player of the Year was Gracie Carver. The JV Softball Most Improved Player was Taylor Perkins-Vickers. The JV Softball Cowgirl Award went to Khamya Johnson.
