The Colony shortstop Jayda Coleman (Oklahoma commit) and Keller outfielder Caraline Woodall (Indiana signee) were named to the ALL-USA Softball first team as USA Today announced its team on Tuesday.
Keller catcher Hayden Brown (LSU commit) was named third team.
All three players were named to the DFW Fast Pitch Softball all-star game on Tuesday.

The Colony went 39-3 and reached the UIL state tournament for the second time in three years.
Woodall batted .410 with 20 RBIs, 40 runs and 14 stolen bases. She was voted District 5-6A second team and wrapped up her high school career with a program record 156 games played.
Woodall never missed a game as the 2019 senior class had a 133-20-1 record, best all-time at Keller. She’s a four-time regional finalist, three-time state semifinalist and two-time state champ.
She will go to Indiana to play alongside sister Camryn.
