EASTERN IDAHO — The Highland Rams were the lone District-5-6 representative at this year’s 6A Softball State Championships.

The Rams, who opened the tournament with an upset victory over eventual state runner-up Mountain View High School, did no play for a trophy though, suffering losses to Owyhee and Timberline high schools.

Highland and their fellow District 5-6 6A teams — Madison, Thunder Ridge and Rigby — were also left without any All-State nods.

All-State selections, which are published by the Idaho Statesman, are voted on by the classification’s coaches.
