Taft College sophomores Abrianna Carr and Isabelle Martinez are not only leaders on the softball field for the Cougars, but also excel in the classroom. On Monday, Carr and Martinez were honored by the California Community College Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association (3CFCA) by being named to the Academic All-State Team.

Members of the Academic All-State Team are those individuals who post a 3.5 overall GPA and pass a minimum of 24 total units after their initial season of competition. The 2020 edition features student-athletes from all over the State of California, as far South as San Diego to as far North as Weed.

Carr, a pitcher from Tucson, and Martinez, an outfielder out of Stockdale High School, were two of just six student-athletes from the Central Valley Conference to earn the honor.
