So proud of our 16u NCO Caldwell County Allstars girls softball team. What a privilege it was for them to go to State tournament this past week 🥎.

Although, they didn't win, we are so proud of all of their hard work this season! They played hard this past week in some hot temps, at that!

Congratulations 16u girls on a great 2026 season!
