Former Ironwood Ridge standout Devyn Netz earned a Gold Glove and she leads a list of local softball All-Americans in Leah Salas (Sahuarita) Liliana Vigil German (Ironwood Ridge) and Vanessa Brink (Empire).
Basketball standout Bria Medina (Salpointe) was named Knox College Athlete of the Year and Alexa Corona (Marana) was named All-Midwest Conference for softball for Cornell.
Mason White (Salpointe) was named to the Eugene Regional All-Tournament Team for Arizona and Alyssa Noriega (Pueblo) earned the Pima College Larry Toledo Award.
This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to win either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognition. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know. amoralesmytucson@yahoo.com
