It was a historic season for the young Lady Blues soccer program this year, which included a second-place finish in the district standings and the team’s first ever playoff win.

In their seven years of existence, the Lady Blues had made the playoffs multiple times already but had yet to secure their first postseason win. They vaulted that mountain last month when they took down Borger to earn a bi-district championship.

While their season ended in the next round, the season was a large success and with that, the Lady Blues have earned a number of All-District awards. Not only did the Blues find a lot of success on the field, they excelled in the classroom, as well. Listed below are the players’ names and their all-district selections.
