The Alabama Sports Writers Association (ASWA) recently unveiled its 2018 all-state baseball and softball teams. There were sevral players from Pickens County receiving honors this year.

Gordo baseball led the way with three all-state selections in Collin Herring, Davis Vails, and Ridge Wood. The Gordo baseball team advanced to the Class 3A state semifinals before falling on the road to Mobile Christian.

Pickens Academy seniors Olivia Lewis and Lee Acker were both named to the Alabama Sports Writers Association (ASWA) All-State Team last week, as both led their respective teams to Final Four appearances. Lewis was named to second-team all-state, while Acker was named to third-team all-state.
