Fourteen Chatham County athletes made the North Carolina Softball Coaches Association’s all-district list for district 5.
The NCSCA released the all-district list on June 19. District 5 consists of Chatham, Alamance, Caswell, Davidson, Forsyth, Guilford, Randolph, Rockingham and Stokes counties.
Players from all four of Chatham County’s traditional high schools earned all-district honors. Former Jordan-Matthews’ shortstop Logan Gunter was named the 2A Player of the Year for district 5. Gunter is headed to Furman to continue her softball career next season, and she is the first Division-I softball signing for Jordan-Matthews since its current softball head coach Holly Felder signed to Charleston Southern in 2015.
Seaforth also earned their first softball all-district selections in school history as two Hawks made the list.
Chatham Central produced the most all-district athletes in the county, having six players make the 1A list. Chatham Central’s six selections are the second-most from a school in the 1A list behind High Point Christian Academy’s seven selections. Jordan-Matthews tied with McMichael to have the second-most selections in 2A (five).
The NCSA released the all-state list Wednesday.
