Love one of just 2 catchers selected to South squad

Tallassee catcher Lexi Love has had her eyes on the North-South All-Star game for a long time and although the game itself has been canceled, Love still received the recognition she has been working toward. Love was one of two catchers across all classifications named to the South roster when the softball squads were announced Saturday.

“I was shocked,” Love said. “I had been looking forward to this for a long time and I got really excited. I wanted to be able to play it but it is an honor just to be on it. I know there are a lot of great catchers in the South so this is still a big deal.”
