Softball Shocker Heard ’Round the State

Absolutely amazing!
An overflow crowd at Bearkat Softball Stadium witnessed perhaps the greatest upset in the Texas high school softball playoffs this season.
The Huntsville Lady Hornets, who barely sneaked into the playoffs as District 18-4A’s third-place team, devastated the district champions and state’s second-ranked team, the Brenham Cubettes 2-0 in a single-game regional quarterfinal playoff matchup Thursday to dance into the fourth round.....more>>

Close to perfect, Hornets roll 17-0
HOUSTON — Huntsville sophomore Caleb Smith said he knew after the first pitch he threw Thursday night that he was on top of his game. Not only was he on top, but he was lights out. The left-hander combined with junior Cole Sullivan to toss a no-hitter and the Hornets rolled to a 17-0 victory in five innings over Houston Scarborough in game one of a best-of-three, area-round series at Ashmore Field in Houston.
Learning to fly
Stephen Brown contained himself pretty well two weeks ago after booking a spot in the state track meet with a second-place finish in the boys triple jump. The Huntsville junior celebrated a couple of days later when he finally realized what he had done.
She’s got game
Having a player who can play anywhere needed around the softball diamond is a invaluable asset.
Huntsville coach Nancy Hopper knows that for sure, as she has turned to junior Nena Gibson at five different positions in her three years as a Lady Hornet.
‘It’s all about having fun’
By the way the guys were acting Wednesday afternoon at the Huntsville baseball fieldhouse, one would have thought the Hornets had been in this situation before.
‘We had a blast’
AUSTIN — Caleb LeNorman waited, and waited, and waited some more before finding out he would be wearing a medal home from the Class 4A state golf tournament.
The future’s so bright, Hornets have to wear shades
More than 20 years have passed since Huntsville High School sent a boys golf team to the state tournament. The Hornets will be there this week playing alongside traditional golf powers such as Highland Park, Lake Travis and Alamo Heights.
Hornets bust loose
BRENHAM — It wasn’t another nail-biter, but it took seven innings for the Huntsville baseball squad to finally put away Austin Travis on Saturday in a best-of-three bi-district playoff series at Fireman’s Park.
HHS softball battles back to capture area title
WALLER — The magical run for the Huntsville Lady Hornets lives on yet another week.
Less than 19 hours after being no-hit by Houston Waltrip pitcher Anne Marie Taylor in a 1-0 game-one loss, Huntsville made the necessary adjustments it needed to at the plate.
Seniors have Hornets acting, playing like a family
Huntsville seniors Cody Gougler, Justin Davis and Ethan Woods had one final shot this year at accomplishing something that had eluded them the past couple of seasons.
