Everyone knew that the Monroe High School girls’ softball team played really well on the field – the won-loss record, the state playoff appearance, the overall success of Coach Jim Davis’ team which led to him being named Region Coach of the Year.  But recently the team added another honor, a higher one – Academic All-State Award for their Division. 

               The Trojans, which boasted several players who were on their senior class Top 100 and others who were National Honor Society members, were honored during the girls’ softball all-star game at Central Michigan University for having the highest grade point average in the state in their division, which is Division 1.

               Not only were they recognized on the state level, but the team also was honored by the Monroe Public Schools Board of Education at a recent meeting.

               “These young ladies are the definition of ‘scholar athlete’ and have proven to be wonderful representatives of Monroe High School, our community and their families,” said Monroe High School Athletic Director Dr. John Ray.  “They certainly are one of the ‘Points of Pride’ here at Monroe High School.”
