2008 Southland Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships: The Secret’s Out

Jessica Fisher was a raw, untapped talent when she joined the Sam Houston State women’s track and field team as a freshman in 2007.....more>>

Impressive performance
Having already qualified for the NCAA Regionals earlier in the outdoor season, Sam Houston State sophomore Chris Cralle headed into Friday’s opening day of the Southland Conference Outdoor Championships with a goal of 200 feet in the hammer throw.
Not only did Cralle accomplish that feat to win first place, but broke a conference record in the process.
Aggie bats slam SHSU 13-9
Sam Houston State led early and made a game of it late, but the fifth-ranked Texas A&M baseball squad did enough in-between to spoil Bearkats head coach Mark Johnson’s first game against his former team.
Poised and ready
The Bearkats softball team was hoping to end the regular season on a good note, but Texas-San Antonio saw it different. Despite seeing the Kats rally to tie the game in the late innings, the Roadrunners rebounded in extra innings to defeat the Kats 6-4 on Senior Day at Bearkat Softball Stadium on Sunday.
Bearkats make it two in row over Demons
For the second day in a row, the Bearkats got just what the doctor ordered, a lengthy and superb performance from their starting pitcher.
Thanks to a grand slam by catcher Heath Pugh, the end result was a 7-1 win for Sam Houston State in the second game of a Southland Conference series against Northwestern State at Don Sanders Stadium.
Bearkats battle back
Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, Bearkats win.
Sam Houston State and Dallas Baptist played a wacky weekday game Tuesday night at Sanders Stadium in Huntsville. The Patriots and Bearkats traded the lead four times, they combined for 26 hits, 10 errors and five hit batters. In the end, the Kats scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth, then reliever Zac Baker made short work of the Patriots in the ninth, helping Sam Houston State hold onto a 10-8 victory.
Kats ink new recruit
After losing 3-point threats to graduation this past season, the Bearkat coaching staff knew they needed to fill those positions. The Bearkats got just the player they wanted in Corey Allmond, who signed with SHSU.
Red-hot Kats head to first-place UTSA
As the Sam Houston State baseball squad heads into the stretch run, the Bearkats find themselves smack in the middle of a battle for the regular-season Southland Conference championship.
Kats hold on, top Gents 8-7
Despite leading comfortably for most of Wednesday’s game, the Bearkats withstood a late rally and held on to an 8-7 victory over the Centenary Gents at Don Sanders Stadium.
Kats continue to roll
The Bearkats continue to have success at the plate and that has translated into more victories. The series finale against McNeese State would be no different as Sam Houston State connected for 14 hits in a 11-1 victory at Don Sanders Stadium to complete the three-game sweep of the Cowboys on Sunday.
