TEXAS SPORTS WRITERS ALL-STATE SOFTBALL
Coaches,
As soon as possible when your season concludes, please take a few minutes to nominate players for the Texas Sports Writers Association All-State Softball Team.
Players do not have to be seniors, and I don’t set a limit on the number of nominations from a team. Just nominate kids you feel are legitimate all-state players.
To nominate, I need:
Player(s)
School
Classification of school (1A-6A)…PLEASE INCLUDE THIS
Position: Please be specific on infield positions (first base, second base, shortstop, third base) and if a player saw time at multiple spots, list her main position or maybe consider her for the Utility spot
Final season stats:
Deadline to nominate is Monday, June 10.
Please send nominations to: jstallard@news-journal.com
TGCA CERTIFICATE OF SENIOR ACHIEVEMENT
The Texas Girls Coaches Association, along with our coaches and their athletes, were devastated when our schools were forced to close for the rest of the 2019-20 school year due to COVID-19. This action resulted in the elimination of the spring sports' seasons. TGCA is offering a template online for our coaches to be able to print a Certificate of Senior Achievement for all senior athletes and senior support staff members that were unable to finish their seasons. We feel this is a way TGCA and our coaches can show our appreciation and recognition for these very deserving individuals. The certificate template can be found at this link:
http://www.austintgca.com/pdf/Cert_of_Senior_Achievement.pdf
It is in an editable PDF format, so that you can fill in the athlete's name, the school and the sport. This is for you to print and distribute, if you wish, to your senior athletes in these spring sports.
ACADEMIC ALL-STATE NOMINATIONS
Effective IMMEDIATELY TGCA will no longer accept Academic All-State nominations with GPAs that have not been converted from a point scale (4.0) grade to a numerical scale only (94 or above). Staff cannot do the conversion and any nomination received with a point scale GPA will not be processed and will be sent back to the nominating coach for conversion to a numerical only GPA.
