There were a lot of ups and downs for the three high school baseball teams in the county, but they managed to come together and have another successful year on the baseball diamond. From Coaching changes to first-year coaches making their debuts, to perennial powerhouses playing fresh talent, Archer City, Holliday, and Windthorst all were able overcome adversity and find a bright spot in their seasons.

Four Windthorst Trojanettes and four Holliday Lady Eagles made the Texas Girls Coaches Association All-State Track team following another successful year in the field and on the track. For Windthorst, Senior runners Cameron Belcher, Saige Anderson, Annikah Frank, and junior thrower Gabby Hoegger all received the All-State honors. For Holliday, sophomore Kenli Atwood, junior Breagan Blowers, freshman Sammi Kirkland, and senior Simone Mouras all received the honors.

The 2023-2024 softball season was the year of the youth movement for the three high schools in the county, as neither of the three varsity teams featured more than two seniors in their starting lineup. Despite the lack of experience for a lot of the players, Archer City, Holliday, and Windthorst all made the playoffs, with the former even making it all the way to the Regional Semifinals round. With Archer City graduating two (Brynlee Skelton and Nicole Crouse), Holliday graduating two (Kinley Marek and Kelby Jones), and Windthorst graduating one (Bri Hoff), all three teams will look to fill the holes left by the seniors with more young, hungry players.

The 4-H District 3 Archer County Contest was held in Archer City at the Archer County Shooting Sports Club on Saturday, May 18. In total 123 members from the district competed.
