Much like other sports on the 2020-2021 sports calendar, girls’ soccer was a year filled with scurrying to fill open games complicated by COVID-19 but in the end, the season was able to be completed, and recently end of season awards was announced for the District 1-AA teams.

The Lady Cyclones who didn’t make it as far as they hoped in the season falling to Sullivan Central in the district semifinals managed to nab four spots on the 2020 District 1-AA All-Conference girls soccer team.

Senior Siana Robey and junior Maddie O’Quinn were named to the first-team squad while senior Tessa Lamb and sophomore goalkeeper Morgan Heaton were named to the second team.
