The spring sports season was a pretty good one for Pungo Christian Academy.

The school’s baseball, softball and girls’ soccer teams made the state playoffs after successful seasons in the Tarheel Independent Conference. As a result, four of the school’s athletes from those spring teams were named to the All-State team by the NC Independent Schools Athletic Association.

Seniors Emma Harris (softball) and Evan Woolard (baseball) were chosen in their respective sports along with junior Parker Byrd (baseball) and freshman Lexy Tate (soccer).

Below is information on each athlete from PCA Athletic Director Logan Van Staalduinen.
