The Windthorst Trojans trekked up to Muenster to participate in the Highway 82 Classic from Thursday, March 13 to Saturday, March 15. The Trojans finished the tournament with a record of 2-4.

In another installment in the rivalry between the Holliday Lady Eagles and the Henrietta Lady Cats, Henrietta took the first game in the series on Holliday’s home turf on Monday, March 17. Despite several spectacular defensive plays, the Lady Eagles couldn’t make up the ground, losing to the Lady Cats 11-6.

It was tough sailing for the Archer City Lady Cats on Thursday, March 13, falling to Petrolia in a late surge by the Lady Pirates to give the Black and Gold and 0-1 start to district. Petrolia took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first thanks to a two-run homer over the leftfield wall.

The Windthorst Trojanettes opened up district play with a 10-0 thrashing over the Seymour Lady Panthers on Thursday, March 13. The team piled on a combined 11 hits in just five total innings.

Being the best at a specialized event in track and field is tough business. It takes hours and hours of practice of doing the same movements with very slight tweaks, hoping to shave even a tenth of a second, or add another quarter inch to throw or height. Nowhere is that grit and determination more imbodied than in senior Trojanette discus thrower, Gabby Hoegger.

Senior Wildcat Isaac Dieguez is a pillar for the Archer City athletic program. A football and baseball varsity athlete since freshman year, Dieguez has been one of the main reasons for the Wildcats success for the last few years.

Last season, the Trojanettes had just one senior and a crew of freshmen and sophomore players filling the roster. One year later, that senior is gone, and those same athletes, now juniors and sophomores, will be expected to lead the way this season.

Trojanettes The Trojanettes continued their streak of playoff appearances in basketball, despite losing heavy-hitters Rylee Wolf and Cameron Belcher, both 1000 career point scorers, to graduation. The young Trojanettes still managed to win in the Bi-District round and finish with an overall record of 13-14, including a district record of 8-4.

Lady Eagles Coming into the season, the Holliday Lady Eagles’ basketball team had a lot of unknowns. From losing star players Bailee Bowers and Kenna Wood to graduation, to former Holliday Eagle Kaleb Carver making his head coaching debut, how well the Red and White would do on the hardwood would be a bit of mystery.

The Holliday Boys’ and Girls’ track teams had six individuals and three total relay teams make it to the state meet last year. They came home with seven total medals, including three golds. This year, Boys’ head coach Kory Atwood and Girls’ head coach Glenn Griffin both have high expectations going into this season.
