Following the announcement of the all-district second team that brought forth four Tullahoma Lady Wildcats soccer players to receive recognition, four more Tullahoma players stepped forward after their name was called for the all-district first team. The four ‘Cats to make the first team were Avery Sisk, Anzley Holloway, Leah Fogarty, and Catelynn Ballard. These teams were called out after Tullahoma won the district title against Central Magnet 3-2 on Oct. 16.

Avery Sisk

Senior Avery Sisk has put together a dynamic last season of soccer. She is part of a great group of attackers on this Tullahoma team, and she made her mark on opposing teams’ scoreboards constantly throughout 2025. Sisk so far has netted the second most goals on the entire Lady Wildcats roster, scoring in 15 goals in 16 games. Two of her best games this season took place against KIPP Global and rival Coffee County. In each of the two contests, Sisk scored three goals.

Anzley Holloway

Anzley Holloway, in her junior season, established herself as an elite keeper. Backed by one of the best groups of defenders in the state, Holloway was always ready and reliable when an opposing attack snuck past Tullahoma. Holloway on the entirety of the year has only allowed seven goals through 16 games. She has filled the role well after the Lady Wildcats had a great goalie in Claire Fogarty last season. In those sixteen games overall, Holloway has recorded 36 saves.

Leah Fogarty

Another impressive player on the backline earning all-district first team honors was senior Leah Fogarty. She, like many others of the Lady Wildcats, played a huge part in allowing just seven goals through 16 games. Even on the backline, she was still able to help create offense for Tullahoma. This season, she recorded three assists. Her most impactful game offensively came in the ‘Cats’ first district playoff game against Spring Hill. In the contest, Fogarty recorded two of her three assists on the year, up through the district championship game against Central Magnet.

Catelynn Ballard

Senior Catelyn Ballard was one of the featured playmakers throughout the Lady Wildcats’ 2025 season. She is great at setting up her teammates in ideal spots to score, and stamped herself as an elite passer this season. In 16 recorded games, Ballard had the second most assists on the team with nine, only trailing junior Brindley Duncan, who recorded 13.  She also found the back of the net herself on occasion this season, scoring a total of four goals. One of her best offensive outings this year came against Marshall County, where she had one goal and two assists. Tullahoma won this game against Marshall 12-0.
