Fresh off a shared district championship, Archer City returns virtually everyone and added quality freshmen to help build off last season’s success. Lady Cats head coach Mallory Mooney is working on the little things to grow last year’s squad into the best version of themselves.

Head Track Coach Julie Castles was clear about the Lady Cat’s goal for the 2022 track season, “Our goal is to win district. We want everyone in the girl’s programs to be involved. When that happens, it creates more potential to score needed points.”

Boys Archer City (17-13) fell in the bi-district round in a heartbreaker to Hawley to conclude its 2021-22 season. At the conclusion of the season, Wildcats Head Coach Andrew Morris announced his resignation to move closer to the Lubbock area.

Archer City’s Hudson Williams has been around the game of baseball his entire life. He first started playing competitively in fourth grade with the Burkburnett Blacksox and has been involved with tournament teams just about every year since.

Competition at a number of positions gives Holliday head coach Brad Blassingame a positive outlook for the 2022 campaign. In spite of a loaded district and region, the Eagles’ skipper is confident his squad has what it takes to compete for a district and regional championship.

Holliday senior Dalton Anderson is poised for another dominant season for Holliday. After earning a spot on the Archer County News’ Diamond Dozen squad for 2021, Anderson is primed to build off last year’s success.

As Holliday senior Evelyn Perkins leads, the Lady Eagles softball team follows. The all-state centerfielder is a key catalyst for getting Holliday going.

Fresh off a 38-3 season and an appearance in the state semifinals for the first time in school history, expectations are high around the Holliday Lady Eagles softball program...just don’t tell head coach Billy Arbogast.
