File / TPI For the second consecutive year, Horseshoe Bend's Brynlee Alford was named the Class 2A Pitcher of the Year. This season, she racked up 159 strikeouts this year for the Generals.
They say that the view looks better from the top. So when you climb up there, you'll more than likely meet Brynlee Alford.
Reliable, consistent and an ace; those are three words that exude what Alford has meant to the Horseshoe Bend softball team through her three-year career with the Generals. So much so, back in 2025, she was recognized as the best pitcher in all of Class 2A as a sophomore. And as a junior, well, not much changed — resulting in Alford being named the 2026 Class 2A Pitcher of the Year for the second year in a row in the Alabama Sports Writer Association All-State team. And for the cherry on top, Alford was also named a first-team pitcher, again for the second year in a row.
