Track season is off to a hot-start for Holliday and Windthorst. The Lady Eagles have won multiple meets already this season and appear to be a regional front-runner once again. The Trojanettes return everyone from last year’s team that won the district championship.

Thursday, March 17 Archer City 10, Seymour 0 Chris Allen belted a three-run homer in the bottom of the first and Archer City (3-5, 1-0) never looked back in a 10-0 shutout of Seymour to begin district play. The Wildcats went on to hammer out six runs in the fourth before a walk-off error allowed the ‘Cats to open league play out on the right foot.

After finishing second in district the previous three years, Archer City Head Track and Field coach Donny Gray has his sights set on taking home a district crown. “My ultimate goal is to compete for a district championship,” Gray said.

In his first season as head coach, Archer City’s Zac Dunnam is teaching the Wildcats how fun the game of baseball can be. While a deep postseason run that ends in Austin is always the ultimate goal, the Archer City skipper hopes to have a little fun along the way.

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.
