How were these girls picked? I noticed on the East side only 1 player Samantha Sparks from Russell. Does not seem kosher.

Coaches nominate juniors and seniors from their own teams. The All-Star teams are selected from this list of nominations by two committees of coaches from across the state, along with the director of KY Prep Softball. A committee of coaches from regions 1-8 select players for the West teams, and a committee of coaches from regions 9-16 select players for the East teams. At least one coach from each region is invited to be on the selection committee. Some regions have better representation than others, and some regions don't have any representation at all. That is why you see several players from certain regions, and very few from other regions.
