Columbus player finds passion in soccer
Youth sports is an important element to the childhoods of many Colorado County children as they get their initial experiences with the feelings of competitiveness, teamwork and hard work towards a goal. Many of these young players find a passion for the sports that they engage in, keeping up with the sport for many years through their youth and often into their high school years and potentially college as well. Finding their athletic passion at a young age helps them develop from a young age, giving them a chance to truly pursue their athletic dreams. For 10-year-old Rebel Lynn Taylor, her passion for soccer has already given her drive and a goal to chase with the sport. 06/28/2023 12:00 AM

Lewis named to All-State Elite Team
Lewis named to All-State Elite Team
The Cards’ basebal l team created some history this season after notching one of their best seasons in two decades. It could arguably have been their best season in the last two decades after reaching the deepest round of the playoffs in that time frame this season. They also finished with their most total wins in a season after finding success in a tough district and holding on for the second- place spot in the district standings. The Cards would not have been able to achieve all of these goals without impressive seasons by some of the veteran players who make up the roster. Senior Ryan Lewis made himself stand out with his play this season. His outstanding season led to Lewis receiving statewide recognition after being named to All-State Elite Team by the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association. 06/21/2023 12:00 AM
