Jonesboro softball lands 10 players on all-state team after title run
Jonesboro put 10 players on the TGCA all-state list after its third straight title, a sign the Coryell County program keeps reloading instead of rebuilding.
Jonesboro’s softball program landed 10 players on the Texas Girls Coaches Association all-state list after finishing a three-peat with a 6-5 comeback over Brookeland in the Class 1A state championship game. For a small-school program, that kind of haul shows more than one championship roster. It points to depth, year-to-year development and a standard that has become part of Jonesboro athletics.
The Lady Eagles entered the honors release as the three-time defending Class 1A state champions, and the 10-player showing matched the scale of the run. Jonesboro finished the 2025-26 season 23-9-1, according to the University Interscholastic League, and made its third straight state tournament appearance in 2024, 2025 and 2026. Head coach James Turner guided the team with assistants Keirsten Seahorn and Matt Dossey, a staff that has kept Jonesboro at the top of the 1A bracket while other programs cycle through rebuilds.
The current UIL roster helps explain why the Lady Eagles kept producing. Jonesboro listed juniors Ally Thorman, Kylee Gould and Lynlee Deats, senior Adalyna Andrade, freshman Landree Deats and sophomore Landri McFarlin among its core players, with batting averages ranging from .392 for Lynlee Deats to .474 for Landree Deats and .427 for Thorman. Gould hit .425, Andrade .407 and McFarlin .415, a snapshot of a lineup that spread production across the order instead of leaning on one or two batters.
That broad base has already shown up in statewide recognition before. In 2025, Jonesboro catcher Emily Turner was named player of the year on the Texas Sports Writers Association Class 1A all-state team, and the list also included Ella Gustin, Julie Henderson, Kyleigh Walker, Lynlee Deats, Adalyna Andrade, Kylee Gould and Landri McFarlin. With that kind of repeated recognition, the TGCA honor roll fits a program that has built statewide expectations into its identity.
For Coryell County, Jonesboro’s latest all-state showing reinforces the school’s place as one of the area’s most consistent small-school winners. The Lady Eagles have already turned one title into three, and the next challenge is keeping the pipeline intact long enough to make a fourth straight run look ordinary too.
