Two Crook County softball standouts have received all-state honors.

Roughly six weeks after the season ended, the 4A squad was finally announced, and outfielder Chloe McKenzie landed on the first team. Utility player Alyson Ware, a junior, earned honorable mention status.

McKenzie had a stellar Tri-Valley Conference season and came back after missing the 2024 season with a knee injury. She was voted player of the year in the Tri-Valley even though the Cowgirls finished just 8-7.

McKenzie and Ware, along with Kendall Martinez, were first team all-Tri-Valley Conference players this past season, leading the Cowgirls to the postseason.

There were two players of the year for 2025 in the 4A class: Malia Scanlan of Cascade and Kya Lindell of Astoria, both seniors. Astoria’s Maddie Wilkin, also a senior, was the pitcher of the year, and Astoria’s Ken Israel was named coach of the year. Astoria beat St. Helens 7-0 in the state championship game.
