The Holliday Eagles are rolling on to the Regional Semi-finals round for the fourth straight year after a pair of shutout victories over the Sweetwater Mustangs on Thursday, May 8 and Friday, May 9. The Eagles’ pitching has been on another level in the playoffs this season.

In one of the best threegame series in recent memory, the Windthorst Trojans laid it all on the line against the defending state champions Collinsville in the Area round on Thursday, May 8 and Friday, May 9 at Eagle Mountain High School in Saginaw.

The Archer City Lady Cats’ hopeful softball season came to an end on Saturday, May 10, going out in a best-three-series to the Moody Lady Bearcats in the Regional Semi-final round in Weatherford. “The girls were really doing everything they could to try and win the game,” head coach Kent Kyle said after the loss.

NOAH What is there to say about a kid who has done so much on the track in such a short time. Since his freshman year, Noah has been on top of the 3A Boys’ cross-country and track world, gobbling up 11 total state gold medals between cross-country, the 3200, the 1600, and the 800.

Twin brothers Noah and Ryder Strohman are two of the best distance runners in the history of Holliday High School. In just three years, the juniors have amassed a horde of cross-country and track medals, were even key contributors in Holliday’s state track title this last season.

Being a coach’s kid is tough. For the most part, they have to be at practice or games long before everyone else gets there, and leave long after everyone else has left. They are also usually held to a higher standard compared to other athletes, especially if the coach of that sport is the parent.

Since her freshman year, Holliday senior Breagan Blowers has been one of the most consistent sprinters for the Lady Eagles’ track team, routinely winning district and area, and medaling at regionals and state yearly in the 200-meter dash.
