Five Central Lady Tigers made the 2025 All-District 2A-12 Softball Team, which was announced earlier this month.

Addison Howard was named the Newcomer of the Year.

Three players, shortstop Alyvia Warner, second baseman Jhaselyn Gonzalez and outfielder Brianna Taylor, were named to the all-district team by their respective positions.

Brenleigh Allen was named as an utility player on the all-district team.

The Lady Tigers went 5-18 this past season.

Editor’s Note: Look for the story in a later edition about the All-District 4A-6 Team for Muldrow and the All-District 3A-6 Team for Roland once the information has been obtained.
