FORSAN — They have a Class A state softball title.
So what more could the Forsan Lady Buffaloes want?
How about some District 2-A honors as well?

Ten Lady Buffs were honored by the coaches of District 2-A with awards, including a Most Valuable Player award for Kelsey Jones.

Jones, a junior, batted cleanup in the Lady Buffs lineup and was one of the team leaders in batting average, home runs and RBI.

Jones consistently drove the ball over the fence during district play. In an 18-2 win over Eldorado April 10, Jones belted two 3-run homers.

She scored the tying run in the top of the sixth inning in the state semifinal game against Iola Thursday and drove in a run in the championship vs. Alto Saturday.

Being named to first-team All-District was Jones' twin sister Shelby, freshman Ambra Hill and sophomore Miranda Park.

Shelby Jones was also one of the top hitters for the Lady Buffs this season. She was named to the All-Tournament team at state after knocking in a run in both the semifinal and final.

Her RBI in the semis came in the top of the seventh inning and put the Lady Buffs ahead 2-1, which was the final margin.

Hill, a freshman, was named the MVP of the Class A championship game. She opened the game with a double and eventually came around to score the first run of the contest.

Hill played most of the season at second base, but moved to shortstop late in the postseason.

Park, a sophomore, was named as the league's top third baseman. As a freshman, she played second, but emerged as the Lady Buffs' everyday player at third this season.

In a 13-5 win over  Eldorado in the regional quarterfinals of the Class A playoffs, Park was a catalyst at the plate for the Lady Buffs. She had two doubles and a triple for four RBI.

Senior Sandi Golleher, junior Amanda Longorio and freshman Ashley Buzbee were given second-team All-District honors.

Golleher has been a four-year member of the Lady Buffs varsity team, playing on the squad since its inception in 2006.

She scored what turned out to be the winning run of the game in the top of the seventh inning against Iola in the state semifinal game.

Buzbee was the Lady Buffs' pitcher for most of the season, leading Forsan to a strong start in district play.

However, a broken collarbone cut her season short.

On the other hand, Longorio, who had been voted District MVP the last two years, started the season on the injury list after breaking her foot late in basketball season.

She got back on the field just as Buzbee was injured and took over as the Lady Buffs' primary pitcher, picking up both wins at the state tournament.

Receiving honorable mention from the 2-A coaches were seniors Alyx Pappajohn and Haylie Burleson and sophomore Kevy O'Brien.

Pappajohn and Burleson have been with the team since it was first formed four seasons ago and started in the outfield at the state tournament.

Pappajohn played a variety of positions in her four years at Forsan, including first base, second base, third base and pitcher.

Burleson picked up the game-tying RBI in Forsan's 2-1 win over Iola in the state semifinals.

O'Brien played some in the outfield, but spent most of her second year with the Lady Buffs at first base. She was named to the All-Tournament team at state.
