After a summer of high school softball, some of the best area players have earned all-state honors as voted on by the Iowa Girls Coaches Association.

That includes Sigourney’s Jospehine Moore, who is a first-team All-Class 1A selection for a third time in her career. The senior was a dominant force for the Savages in all parts of the game.

Moore led Sigourney at the plate with a .536 batting average, 37 total hits, 10 doubles, nine home runs, 39 runs batted in and 28 runs scored, but she was also the Savages’ workhorse pitcher, finishing with a 17-5 record, yielding just a 1.23 earned-run average in over 140 innings of work and racking up a whopping 189 strikeouts.

Sigourney senior Dani Aller also receives a second-team selection in 1A after batting .357 with three triples and scoring 22 runs for a Savage team that had a record of 18-8.

Highland’s Kamryn Fink joins Moore on the Class 1A first team after an electric season where she hit .424, scored 35 runs on 39 total knocks and stole 40 bases.

Senior Lilly Barre gets a second-team nod for a powerful season at the plate, batting just under .300 with six homers and a team-high 27 RBI to help the Huskies win 17 games and make their way to the state tournament for the first time in over a decade.

Columbus’ Lily Coil is also a second-teamer in Class 2A after a superb final season. The Wildcat senior had a .537 batting average to finish inside the top 20 in the state and collected 36 total hits, 15 doubles, three triples, three home runs, 31 runs scored and a team-high 38 RBI.

Coil also posted a 2.59 ERA and 70 strikeouts in just over 70 innings pitched. Over in 1A, Lone Tree’s Alex Dautremont receives an honorable mention for hitting .426 with 14 runs batted in and compilng a 3.48 ERA and 58 Ks in 76 innings pitched.
