The Spring Garden Lady Panther athletic program had a banner 2024-25 school year. After winning state titles in volleyball and basketball, the softball team capped off the year with a third-place finish at the Class 1A state softball tournament in Oxford at Choccolocco Park on May 15.

The Lady Panthers finished the season with a 22-13-2 record, which included a second straight area softball title (their 10th out of the last 11 years minus the COVID season of 2020), and the Class 1A East Regional title in Albertville.

The accomplishments the Lady Panthers earned came in large part by their seven seniors, four of whom were honored early Saturday morning by the Alabama Sportswriters Association on its Class 1A All-State Team.

Catcher Maggie Jarrett earned a second-team spot, as did outfielder Layla Ingram. Avery Steward and Helena Ingram were selected as honorable mention in the outfield and infield respectively.

Jarrett compiled a .468 batting average including 14 doubles, nine triples, three home runs, 25 runs and 40 RBIs. Layla Ingram batted .466 with 15 doubles, five triples, two home runs, 45 runs and 43 RBIs.

Steward batted .409 with 10 doubles, four triples, 17 walks, 49 runs and 20 RBIs as a leadoff hitter. Helena Ingram batted .429 with 13 doubles, five triples, two home runs, 17 walks, 48 runs and 37 RBIs.

In Class 2A, the Sand Rock Lady Wildcats had a second-team selection at designated hitter in sophomore Emma Sipsy. Sipsy batted .339 with 14 doubles, eight home runs, a pair of triples, 16 walks, 33 runs and 30 RBIs last season.

And in Class 4A, the Cherokee County Lady Warriors had an honorable mention in junior pitcher Emma Hill. Hill went 18-7 with 249 strikeouts and a 1.37 ERA in 142 2/3 innings. She also batted .405 with a pair of doubles and 15 RBIs.

The complete ASWA All-State Softball selections are listed below. The All-State Baseball teams were announced last Saturday. Miss Softball, Mr. Baseball, and the Super All-State teams will be named on Sunday at the ASWA convention.
