2023 Softball

Your Lady Cougars season came to an end this past weekend when we came up short against Venus. But what a season it was!

We finished our amazing season 12-8. There were a lot of positives throughout the season and the future is bright for our softball program! We went from 5-5 and finishing 3rd last year to being 8-2 and finishing 2nd with a chance to compete for a district championship. 

We took home some good awards as well! 

Senior Lauren Beckham would be the Co-District Player of the year!
Freshmen Taylor Torres would be Co-Newcomer of the year!
Senior Priscilla Rivers would be Utility player of the year!

It was a great year. It didn't end the way we would have liked, but we will be back! 

Last night, your Lady Cougars took on Benbrook MHS. In what was a hard-fought game, we would end up coming short in both JV and Varsity. We gave ourselves an opportunity to win in both games, but defensive miscues would come back to get us.

JV had a great season; they were able to grow a lot and had a lot of positives! The future is bright for these young ladies! 

Varsity would end their district run going 8-2 and securing second in the district. This team has something special and when we can put it all together it is something awesome to watch!  

We are not done yet! Next week your Lady Cougars will be playing in the Bi-District round of the playoffs! We will be playing either Venus or Alvarado. We are set to host at least two games here, the first being the 27th and the second game will be on the 29th, if necessary. We need all of Cougar nation to come out and be loud! 

As always, you can watch our game live on Facebook if you are unable to attend! 

Your Lady Cougars are headed to the playoffs! We are going to be getting shirts made. They will be $20, on a dri-fit or cotton shirt! Here is what they look like, designed by Coach Mo and the players! I will need to know who wants one by tomorrow! Sorry for not having a lot of time. We just want to make sure we get them on time!  You can email Coach Mo with your size and how many you want! I have attached what the front and back will look like as well!

First, I would like to say thank you to all of the staff that came out last night! It was a beautiful night for some softball! 

Your Lady Cougars softball team was on it last night! JV would get the night started but would end up falling just a little short.

Varsity would come out of the gate hot. Senior Lauren Beckham pitched one of her best games all year! She would shut out the Lady Eagles by throwing a NO HITTER! Just one play shy of a perfect game! The bats were hot all game as well. The offense would be led by senior Lauren Beckham, sophomore Eva Almendarez, and freshmen Taylor Torres! We would finish the game shutting the Lady Eagles out and winning 15-0. 

I am proud to say that your Lady Cougars have for-sure clinched second in the district! And clinched a spot in the playoffs! 

Next week Benbrook is coming to us on Tuesday; JV at 6 and Varsity at 7:30! We want to pack the stands! If you have not been to a game, this is the one to be at; there is a lot on the line. 

We hope you can make it out on Tuesday. This team has something special and these girls have been working their tails off to be in the position we are in now! Come out and be loud!

As always, our game will be livestreamed on Facebook if you are unable to make it!
