Baseball falls behind in district

Submitted by Wimberley1 on

Texan Baseball had a rough week falling 0-2 to Navarro and Canyon Lake.
The losses drop the Texans to 7-7 overall and 1-3 in district play.
In a wide-open district such as 27-3A, anyone can win at anytime and the Texans will have to prove they can.
It shouldn’t be too hard because the boys seem to have both sides of the game working. They just haven’t been able to get the to work together in a single game.
Against Navarro, the Texans lost 3-1.

The Lady Texans faired well at the Hays Reble Relays which was a meeting including multiple 4A and 5A schools. 
Coming off a week in which they won the Blanco meeting, the girls placed fifth overall behind Hays, Canyon, Rouse and San Marcos with 66 points.
“Our times were faster across the board in every single race,” Girls Head Coach Lacey Jo Lambert said.
The highlight, as it often is, was Kally Long, the school’s defending state champion pole vaulter. 
Kally jumped 12-feet, six-inches to take first again and is eyeing the state record 13-feet, one-inch.

An 11-1 win over Harper ended the Lady Texan Softball team’s non-district season with a big win. “We were able to pull together,” Coach Chris Farias said. “We learned a lot at the last tournament we were at. We jumped on them early, started swinging the bats and kept the pressure on them. It’s an example of what we are capable of when everyone is doing their job.”

Lady Texan Soccer

Submitted by admin on
Lady Texan Soccer won in a big way over Segiun (5-0) followed by a tough loss to Schertz Clemens on Friday night. “We knew going into the Clemens games they were going to be tough,” Coach Brad Biggers said. “The first half we were with them for 40 minutes. It was 1-0, and then it started getting physical, they have a lot of talent, and they started to wear us down. They hit two shots from at least 30 yards out that were rockets.”
