Pitcher McKayla Watts of North Lincoln was named 2A Pitcher of the Year in District 6 (Anson, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Stanly and Union counties) while Alexander Central swept 3A honors in District 7 with shortstop Julie Gast picked Player of the Year and Chelsea Millsaps tabbed Pitcher of the Year.
