Ashley Thoms, of Campolindo, was selected DFAL all-league honorable mention for basketball and second team all-league for softball. Campolindo athletic director Tom Renno said, "I can't think of another freshmen to make All League in two sports at Campolindo."

Thoms helped the Cougar basketball team reach NCS by playing great defense and outside shooting. During the softball season, Thoms was fifth in the league in batting average (.480), second in runs scored (33), and sixth in on base percentage (.552). She plays club softball for the KG Hitter run by former Houston Astro Kiko Garcia. Her club basketball team is the Lafayette Lightning. She is happy playing both sports, saying she prefers "whichever sport I am playing at the time."

Thoms is following in her grandfather's footsteps. Art Thoms was also a two-sport athlete. He is a former All-Pro Oakland Raider and was offered a contract with the New York Mets out of high school. Art said, "I am very proud of Ashley and her success in two sports."
