Lady Cards dominate no. 7 ranked Cotulla for Area Title
Lady Cards dominate no. 7 ranked Cotulla for Area Title
As a team that spent much of this past season within the ranks of the Texas Girls’ Coaches Association’s top 25 list, the Lady Cards have made it clear that they stand amongst the elite softball team in Texas. In the Area Championship round of the postseason, they made it abundantly clear that their name should be near the top of the list as their second-round opponents, the Cotulla Cowgirls, entered the series as the seventh best 3A team according to TGCA. Columbus did everything they could to prove that they deserve a top ten spot just as much as anybody as they went on to pick apart Cotulla on both sides on the way to a dominating series sweep that marked Columbus’ most total wins in one season in program history at 27. After the win, Columbus moved up to no. 8 on the rankings while Cotulla dropped out of the top ten. The Lady Cards start the regional rounds of the postseason with a series against Jourdanton in Marion starting on Friday, May 12 at 5:30 pm. 05/10/2023 12:00 AM

I have grown and learned so much, and I don’t know where I would be if it weren’t for this program. 05/10/2023 12:00 AM
