One of Elmore County softball’s very own will be heading to Montgomery in July. 

Panthers junior Addison Hicks was selected to play in the North-South All-Star softball game, proving she’s one of the best-rising seniors in the state. Along with other notable standouts, she will participate in All-Star week, where she will not only play with the best but also be coached by the best.
