Cards take first Area title in 17 years
WIMBERLY – The Columbus Cardinals baseball team kept their postseason alive after competing in a three-game series with the Lytle Pirates as the teams vied for the Area Championship and a spot in the regional tournament portion of the playoffs. Recent history for Columbus had not been kind to the Cards in the area round as Columbus had not moved on past that round for the past 17 years. Columbus finally got their breakthrough this year as they had a dominating effort against the Pirates. Pitching and defense set the tone for the Cards as they did not allow a single run in a two-game sweep to claim their first Area Championship in nearly two decades. Now the Cards move on to face a familiar foe as they take on the Industrial Cobras for Columbus’ third match this season against their district rivals. The two teams split their district season matchups with one win apiece. 05/17/2023 12:00 AM

Wildcats skate past Skidmore for Area Title
Wildcats skate past Skidmore for Area Title
VICTORIA – The Weimar Wildcat baseball team had the offensive performance they were hoping for when they drew the Skidmore- Tynan Bobcats for the Area Championship round of the postseason. The Wildcats saw the ball well and found ways to make plays as they scored 21 runs in two games as they swept their second-round opponents. It was not only their offense that led them to victory as they also held their opponents to just four runs in a dominating effort that clinched Weimar’s spot in the regional rounds of the tournament. With this series victory, the Wildcats will now be seeking redemption against the Shiner Comanches for round three. Shiner took the advantage in both district games against the Wildcats, so Weimar will have to find a way to break through starting on Thursday, May 18 at Rice High School. 05/17/2023 12:00 AM

Rice athletes celebrated as youth movement continues
On Tuesday, May 9, the Rice athletics program held their annual Athletic Awards Assembly to recognize a host of players and athletes who had successful seasons and contributed to Rice’s forward steps in athletics this season. The theme of the night was the hope Rice has for the future as many of the featured teams had little to no seniors on their respective squads, as well as a plethora of young players hoping to take another step forward next school year. Many awards were given throughout the night as there were several general award recipients as well as awards given out for each team. 05/17/2023 12:00 AM
