QB Andrew Espinoza (Somerville ISD)The Somerville Yeguas enter the 2026 football season with a new district, but the goal remains the same, making the playoffs for the fourth time in the past five seasons.
Head Coach Luke Klingler enters his second season at the helm of the Yeguas.
He was the offensive coordinator two seasons ago when the team went 11-2 and made it three rounds deep into the playoffs. Last year, Somerville finished 6-5 overall and 2-3 in district. They lost to Junction in the Bi-District Round.
With the UIL Realignment in February, the Yeguas are in District 13-2A Division II along with Bartlett, Bremond, Burton, Chilton, Holland, Milano, and Snook.
According to Dave Campbell's Texas Football, Bremond is #1 in their preseason poll for Class 2A Division II, and predicted to finish first. Chilton is ranked #9 in state, and predicted to finish second in district. Burton is ranked #20 in state, and predicted to finish third.
Somerville is projected at fourth in district. Rounding out the preseason projected standings are Holland at #5, Bartlett at #6, Milano at #7, and Snook at #8.
According to DCTF, the Yeguas return six starters on offense and seven starters on defense. Andrew Espinoza (Sr.) returns as the starting quarterback. Last year as a junior, he completed 123 of 213 passes (58%) for 1,693 yards, 18 touchdowns to just seven interceptions.

Jaille Deere could be a candidate for the #2 receiver slot after catching 11 passes for 185 yards, and two touchdowns.

Rick Church (buccaneersports.com)Blinn College Head Softball Coach Rick Church and Head Golf Coach David Johnson will both be calling it a career.
Church’s retirement comes after leading the Buccaneers to 23 Region XIV Conference Tournament appearances in 27 seasons with the program.
Under Church’s leadership, Blinn Softball captured conference and regional championships in 2003, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2015.
They also made seven trips to the NJCAA National Championships, which includes finishing in second place in 2003.
KWHI asked Coach Church why he chose now to retire.
Church holds the most all-time victories at Blinn College with 992. His overall college coaching record stands at 1,066-518.
He was also a 2021 inductee into the NJCAA Softball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. In 2025, Church received the NJCAA Coaches Legacy Award, which recognizes the winningest coaches in NJCAA history.
Church talked about what he will miss most about Blinn.
Coach Church’s last official day is August 31. A new coach has not yet been chosen. However, KWHI can confirm that Church’s Assistant Coach Jami Ingram, who has been with the program for 21 years, has thrown her name into the hat for the job.
David Johnson (buccaneersports.com)Meanwhile, David Johnson, who has coached the Men’s and Women’s Golf Programs since their inception seven years ago, is also retiring.
Johnson launched the golf programs at Blinn in 2019.
This past season, he guided both teams to appearances in their respective NJCAA Division I National Championship Tournaments.
For the men’s program, it was their fifth appearance, and for the women’s program, it was their fourth appearance.

Coach Johnson was inducted into the Men’s Golf Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2022.
Like many teams around the area, the La Grange Leopard Football Team is getting ready for the start of another season. For Head Coach Kyle Cooper, this will be his fourth season at the helm of the Leopards.
Due to realignment, La Grange will be looking at almost a completely different district than what they have had over the last few years.
The only team that they are still paired with is Bellville. Rounding out the district are Brazosport (who is dropping down from 4A Division I), Hitchock, Katy Harmony (who is only in its fourth season of varsity football), and La Marque.
According to Dave Campbell's Texas Football, La Grange is projected to finish fourth in the district. Bellville is first, followed by La Marque in second, and Hitchcock in third. Meanwhile, Brazosport is predicted to finish fifth, and Katy Harmony to finish sixth.
Last season, the Leopards finished fourth in the district, which at the time included powerhouses Bellville, Madisonville, and Sealy. They were 5-6 overall and 2-3 in district play. They lost to La Vega in the Bi-District round.
On the plus side for this year is that Coach Cooper has a team returning that is battle tested, and possesses a plethora of experience. La Grange has nine starters returning on each side of the ball.
The Leopards will be counting on QB Eli Gillum (Sr.) to lead the team's spread offense again this season. Gillum, as a junior last season, completed 102 of 187 passes for 1,388 yards, and 14 touchdowns to just six interceptions. He was also the leading rusher with 137 carries for 1,106 yards and 12 touchdowns.
ATH Dillon Johnson (Sr.) returns as a dual threat, who can be used rushing the ball or catching passes from Gillum. Last season, Johnson carried the ball 108 times for 756 yards, and 13 touchdowns. He also had 24 receptions for 366 yards, and two more touchdowns.
LB Cason Conrad (Sr.) is expected to be one of the leaders on defense. Conrad is coming off of a year where he posted 67 tackles, six tackles for loss, a sack, and two interceptions.
In addition to Conrad, La Grange returns S Trey Broussard (Jr.) and LB Chris Supak (Sr.), who had 62 tackles each.

Alan Kocmoud Navarro (buccaneersports.com)Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
A pair of goals from Alan Kocmoud Navarro and stout defense from the 12th-ranked Blinn College men’s soccer team sent the Buccaneers past No. 17 Angelina College 2-0 on Friday at Rankin Field in Brenham, Texas.
The Region 14 triumph pushed Blinn’s winning streak to five – all region matches – as the Bucs improved to 10-2-1 overall and 8-2 in region play. Blinn also avenged a 2-0 road loss to Angelina on Sept. 16.
Blinn head coach Michael McBride said he was thoroughly impressed with a team-wide effort that in the end strengthened the Bucs’ hold on the region’s South division.
"The chemistry and collective buy-in on this team is just phenomenal,” McBride explained. “They have each other's backs completely; they play with a level of selflessness you rarely see; and honestly, that's the best part of coaching them. I count myself lucky to be one of their coaches, especially on nights like this.”
Blinn would get all of the offense it needed Friday when the Bucs executed on a perfect cross play. After sophomore defender Alek Melo sent the initial pass into the Roadrunner box, sophomore forward Amir Simpson flicked a quick pass to Kocmoud Navarro to the far side, where the sophomore forward sent a quick shot past the diving Angelina goalkeeper.
In the 82nd minute, Kocmoud Navarro put the finishing touches on the victory when a throw-in got another impressive play started in the Roadrunners’ final third. After freshman forward Shefe Odojukan headed the thrown ball to sophomore midfielder Sam Sebagabo, Sebagabo attempted a shot which was deflected toward Simpson. Simpson reacted quickly with a header to Kocmoud Navarro, who toe-tapped a shot past the goalkeeper for a 2-0 lead. Sebagabo and Simpson were awarded assists on the play.
Samir Bristol (buccaneersports.com)“For all our collective endeavor, it’s goals that win games,” McBride said. “Alan’s brace (two goals) got us over the line this evening. I’m really pleased for him and, of course, the team.”
The Bucs out-shot the Roadrunners 17-5 and earned a 9-2 advantage in corner kicks.
Freshman goalkeeper Samir Bristol was the beneficiary of strong defensive play as the Bucs prevented Angelina from recording any shots on goal. Bristol earned the win in his third collegiate start and improved to 3-0 on the year.
Up next, Blinn takes a break from region competition when it visits Hill College at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 14, in Fort Worth, Texas.

For their second scoring opportunity, the Cubs went into the playbook for some trickery. C.J. Glover threw a tailback pass, and Hagen Frank took it 69-yards to the end zone for a touchdown. Brenham went for two again, but this time they were not successful. However, the Cubs did extend their first quarter lead to 14-0.
Brenham found the end zone again in the first quarter as Xyran Upshaw scored on a five-yard run. Bleu Cienega added the extra point to give the Cubs a 21-0 advantage.
Upshaw opened up the scoring in the second quarter with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Chris Guidry. Cienega made the PAT to increase the Brenham lead to 28-0.
Glover would score next on a 22-yard touchdown run. Cienega stayed perfect on the extra points to make it 35-0 Cubs.
Brenham scored one more time before the half as Upshaw found Guidry on a 51-yard touchdown pass. Cienega added the PAT to give the Cubs a 42-0 lead going into the locker room.
Due to the lopsided score, they ran the continuous clock for the second half. Brenham's first drive of the third quarter ran off 11 minutes and 25 seconds of game clock. It ended on a 24-yard field goal by Cienega to make it 45-0 Cubs.
Cienega added another field goal of 24 yards in the fourth quarter to finish off the scoring at 48-0 Brenham.
Upshaw finished with the best game of his career completing 14 of 21 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns. He also carried the ball six times for 37 yards and a touchdown.
Guidry finished with five catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns, all of which came in the first half.
Glover continued to shine with 21 carries for 107 yards, two touchdown runs, and a touchdown pass.
The Cub defense held Waco to just 64 yards of total offense. Trelyn Kelly and Rylan Lewis each had an interception in game.
Brenham is now 6-0 overall and 1-0 in district. The Cubs will travel to Bryan next Friday for a district game against Rudder. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm. KWHI will have live coverage beginning with the pregame at 6:30pm on 1280AM, 101.7FM, and KWHI.com.

Ashlee Rodriguez and Marguerite Funk scored for the Buccaneers
The Blinn College women’s soccer team used two second-half goals and lockdown defense to upset No. 14 Angelina College 2-0 in a Region 14 match Friday at Rankin Field in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers improved to 7-3-2 overall, 5-3-2 in the region standings, and avenged a Sept. 19 road loss to the Roadrunners.
“Our motto all year has been “Seed. Time. Harvest.” which is about trusting the process and staying committed to our goals even when things don’t go our way,” Blinn head coach Alexandria Jackson said. “Tonight, the girls showed unbelievable grit and mental strength. We’ve faced a lot of adversity this season, but they continue to show up, stay true to the process, and tonight it paid off. I’ve never been prouder of a team.”
The Bucs have won three consecutive matches – including back-to-back region tilts – and are tied for second place behind Angelina in the Region 14 South division standings.
A defensive stalemate in the first half gave way to Blinn’s offensive fireworks after the intermission.
The Bucs took the lead for good in the 48th minute when a Blinn corner kick devolved into a scramble for the ball. As Angelina attempted to clear the ball from its box, sophomore defender Ashlee Rodriguez deflected a kick, gathered the rebound and slipped a quick shot past three Roadrunner defenders. Freshman midfielder Saya Shiratsuki provided the assist on the goal.
Following Rodriguez’s go-ahead tally, a defensive battle resumed until sophomore midfielder Marguerite Funk secured the result with an insurance goal in the 89th minute. Freshman midfielder Chloey Mejia was credited with the assist off a free kick.
Blinn finished with nine shots.
Freshman goalkeeper Haidlyn Hawkins made seven saves to preserve the shutout and improved to 3-3-2 on the year.
Up next for the Bucs is a region home bout against Louisiana State University-Eunice at 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 17. Blinn was originally scheduled for a non-region road trip to Hill College on Oct. 14, but the match has been canceled.

Olivia Stringer (Joe Alberico)The eighth-ranked Blinn College volleyball team outlasted a feisty Panola College squad for a thrilling five-set Region 14 victory Thursday in Carthage, Texas.
The Buccaneers prevailed 22-25, 25-22, 25-17, 26-28, 15-10 to capture their 17th consecutive victory. Blinn improved to 33-1 overall and 9-1 in region play. The Bucs have also won each of their last eight region matches.
Blinn battled through unforced errors and a loud and enthusiastic Panola crowd, but found victory within a resilient hitting effort, strong blocking, and impressive digging.
“Panola is a good team with two really good hitters on the pin, a very good setter, and a good libero,” Blinn head coach Gregg Whitis said. “Good teams find ways to win competitive matches against teams who play really hard and give Panola credit because they play really hard.”
Blinn’s attack produced 17 kills for sophomore hitter Olivia Stringer; 11 for freshman hitter Annika Brooks; and 10 for middle blocker Jana Cetkovic. Sophomore hitters Kaliko Schilling and Shilo Jones finished with seven apiece.
Jana Cetkovic (Joe Alberico)Sophomore setters Leah Hoss and Camden Bizot dished out 26 and 17 set assists, respectively.
Bizot also had three service aces, all of which came in the third set to help the Bucs pull away for a 2-1 set advantage.
After the Fillies rallied to win the fourth set and force a fifth, Blinn persevered thanks to a series of big plays late.
Schilling and Brooks gave the Bucs a handful of big kills, and Jones provided a big stuff block to send the visitors to victory.
On the floor, Hoss and Stringer racked up 18 digs each, while Bizot added 12. The Bucs finished with 83 total digs.
At the net, Cetkovic had a big game with three solo blocks and seven assists; Jones and sophomore middle blocker Karolina Karabasz had five assists apiece; and Brooks tacked on four assists.
Up next, Blinn hits the road for a pivotal region rematch against No. 7 Trinity Valley Community College at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 14, in Athens, Texas. The Cardinals sit atop the region standings with an 8-0 record, and a Bucs win would give them a season split against TVCC and increase their chances of earning the top seed for the upcoming Region 14 Tournament.
Avery Maurer and her family (Cubette Softball)As the countdown is on to the start of their Senior season, three members of the Brenham Cubette Softball Team held their Signing Day Ceremonies this (Wednesday) morning at Brenham High School.
In front of family, friends, and fans, SS Avery Maurer committed to Sam Houston State University, OF Sarah Mabie committed to Angelina College, and RHP Heidi Busker committed to Gettysburg College.
Sarah Mabie and her family (Cubette Softball)Maurer is a four year starter on Varsity, and is a second generation Cubette. Last season as a junior, she had a .356 batting average, a .454 on-base precentage, and a .545 slugging percentage. Maurer also added three homers, 17 RBIs, and 16 stolen bases.
Mabie, who is also a four year starter on Varsity, hit .417 last season, with a .738 slugging percentage, a .450 batting average, nine doubles, three triples, six homers, and 34 RBIs.
Heidi Busker and her family (Cubette Softball)Both Maurer and Mabie were First Team All District Selections.
Busker, who transferred to Brenham for her sophomore season, will be in her third season with the Cubettes. Last season, she went 5-7 with a 2.63 ERA and two saves.
Reese Miller (Joe Alberico)Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
The Blinn College men's basketball team found its way into the win column Tuesday with a 90-84 home victory over Southern Arkansas University at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.
The win moved the Buccaneers to 1-2 on the season.
"Our guys have worked hard all fall, and for them to finally get to enjoy a win is big because they deserve it," Blinn head coach Scott Schumacher said. "I thought we played well, and even when Southern Arkansas made runs on us, we held up and never relinquished our lead. I thought we did a tremendous job of improving as a basketball team, and a lot of our guys got a lot of quality minutes that will help us long term."
From the outset, SAU Tech showed Blinn it came to play, hitting a quick 3-pointer to open the scoring. Bucs sophomore guard Reese Miller answered with a triple of his own, signaling what would be a back-and-forth first half.
The Rockets lived and died by the 3 ball for most of the night, using a conversion from long distance to take their final lead of the game, 19-16, with about 13 minutes remaining in the opening half.
Jakeel Registe (Joe Alberico)From there, the Bucs kickstarted a 31-12 run on a layup from freshman guard Jakeel Registe. Freshman forward Ziyade Ndancky followed with a pair of free throws to put Blinn ahead for good.
The Bucs led 47-38 at the break.
Though the Rockets never erased Blinn's lead, they did continue to give the hosts trouble, pulling within three points twice and two points once after the intermission.
Ahead just 65-62 with just over 8 minutes to go, Miller, Ndancky, and freshman guard Jerry Peoples were instrumental in guiding the Bucs home as Miller sank a jump shot, Ndancky buried two free throws, and Peoples drilled a trey to complete a 7-0 push with 6:20 left.
SAU Tech came no closer than six points the rest of the way.
"Our offense was a big point of emphasis for us this week after struggling a bit in our first two games," Miller said. "We focused on moving the ball and taking good shots, and because of that we were able to convert. Now we just need to improve our defense."
On the night, six Bucs scored in double figures. Miller paced his team with 17 points, sophomore forward London Maiden had 14, Registe tallied 13, sophomore forward Anthony Isaac and freshman guard Dashawn Ceaser had 11 apiece, and Ndancky added 10.
Tuesday's triumph was the first collegiate win for Blinn's seven freshmen.
"Coming to Blinn, this freshman class was determined to listen to our coaches, get better as basketball players, and win," Registe said. "As long as we continue to listen and learn and stay locked in as a team, I think more wins are coming. It is very hard to win collegiate basketball games, so once you get one under your belt you have to work to stay on that path, and we're prepared to do that."
Next up for Blinn is the two-day Blue Bell Classic, hosted by the Bucs. Blinn faces the University of Arkansas-Cossatot on Friday at 7 p.m., and will take on Dallas College Cedar Valley at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
Coach Terry Gamble (Joe Alberico)Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Blinn College volleyball's fantastic season has been recognized with a bounty of Region XIV awards.
The sixth-ranked Buccaneers, who will head to the NJCAA Division I Volleyball Championship Tournament next week, were the recipients of eight accolades, including two of the region's top awards.
Head coach Terry Gamble, in his seventh campaign with Blinn, earned his third Region XIV Coach of the Year nod after leading his team to an impressive 38-2 overall record, a 14-0 region mark, the Region XIV Tournament championship, and a fifth consecutive berth in the national tournament.
All awards were voted up by the region's eight head coaches.
"It's a big congratulations to our players, and it's great to see them recognized by the other coaches in the conference," Gamble said. "For me, the credit goes to the girls for listening to our coaching and going out and performing. They've all excelled in the jobs we've asked them to do."
Kellen Dorotik (buccaneersports.com)Elsewhere, sophomore right-side hitter Kellen Dorotik was named the Region XIV Player of the Year one season after sharing the honor as a freshman in 2023. Dorotik also landed on the all-region first team. In her second Blinn campaign, Dorotik leads NJCAA Division I with 642 kills and 4.79 kills per set. With a team-high 108 blocks, Dorotik's defense has also stood out this season.
Additionally, Dorotik made history this fall by becoming the Buccaneers' all-time leader in kills, a record that currently sits at 1,164.
"It was a big honor earning co-player of the year last season, but winning it on my own this year shows my improvements as a player and how hard I've worked to get better," Dorotik said. "It isn't all about me, though. I love seeing Blinn names up and down the awards list because my teammates are so important to what we've accomplished this year and they contribute just as much as I do. Having six players on the all-region list is a testament to how hard we all work in practice and the effort we bring every day."
Cierra Pesak (Joe Alberico)Sophomore libero Cierra Pesak has also had a big year in her second season at Blinn, making the all-region first team for her reliable defense and serve receive abilities. On the year, Pesak has tallied 379 digs while also boasting an 89% receiving percent on 377 attempts.
Also making the first team were freshman outside hitter MaKenna Loo and freshman setter/blocker Bromli Watson.
Loo has emerged as a viable weapon behind Dorotik, racking up 456 kills (sixth in the nation), while providing remarkable defense to the tune of 389 digs, 36 block assists and six solo blocks. She also sports a nifty 89% on serve receives in 891 chances and is second on the team with 54 service aces.
Watson has shined in a dual role for the Bucs, acting as Blinn's secondary setter while also providing stellar defense at the net. Watson is second on the team with 727 set assists to go with 44 assisted blocks and nine solos.
Freshman outside hitter Greta Rakow and freshman middle blocker Jana Cetkovic made the all-region second team.
Rakow has been a sturdy offensive option and potent serve at the line as she's tallied 286 kills and a team-leading 78 service aces.
Cetkovic has made her mark at the net this season with 107 blocks (96 assists, 11 solos) to go with 98 kills and 48 digs.

The field of 16 is set for the NJCAA Division I Volleyball Championship tournament.
The sixth-ranked Blinn College Buccaneers are in the tournament for a fifth consecutive season with their highest seed since 2021 as they check in at number four in the bracket.
Making its 15th nationals appearance in program history, Blinn (38-2) will open play against 13th-seeded Colby Community College (Colby, Kan.) at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 20, at the Winfield Dunn Center on the campus of Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tenn.
"I like being in the national tournament regardless of where we're seeded or who we're playing," seventh-year Bucs head coach Terry Gamble said. "I do like being number four; it's a good spot and something our kids have earned, but any seed is a good seed when you're playing for a national championship."
Also earning tournament berths were Blinn's Region XIV counterparts, Navarro College (seeded 11th) and Trinity Valley Community College (seeded 12th).
The Bucs took a big step forward this fall after qualifying for nationals as an 11th-seeded at-large team in 2023. This season, Blinn left nothing to chance by capturing the Region XIV regular-season crown and securing an automatic nationals bid by winning the Region XIV Tournament.
As they look to bring home the program's fifth national title, the Bucs have their highest seed since entering the tournament at number one in 2021. Standing in Blinn's way is Colby, a talented team representing Region 6. The Trojans are 26-4 overall and finished 14-2 in their region, with three of their setbacks coming at the hands of fellow tournament qualifiers Northeastern Junior College (seeded fifth) and Barton Community College (sixth).
Bucs sophomore libero Kirby Kliafas said facing some unfamiliar faces on the other side of the net is a challenging and exciting development.
"We're all excited," she said. "I know there will be some nerves for some of us because it's the national tournament and we're starting with a new team, but I think that's what makes it fun. We still have to go out and compete and play our game, and I think we're ready for anything."
Having a higher seed is an advantage, but upsets are expected given the unpredictable nature of a 16-team bracket. Though top-seeded Florida Southwestern State College returns to the tournament after winning back-to-back championships (2022-23) as the top team in the field, Gamble is confident any team can find itself on top at the end.
"All 16 teams in the tournament are really good and deserve to be in there," Gamble stated, "and all 16 teams can beat anybody on any given day. It should make for a fun tournament."

All matches except for the championship match on Saturday, Nov. 23, will be broadcast on the NJCAA Network. The championship will be aired by ESPN Plus.
Kellen Dorotik (Joe Alberico)Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
The sixth-ranked Blinn College volleyball team didn't just win the Region XIV Tournament on Sunday.
It gained certainty.
Already favorites to qualify for the upcoming NJCAA Division I Volleyball Championship, the Buccaneers left no doubt with a 25-21, 25-18, 16-25, 25-21 victory over 13th-ranked Navarro College in the region tournament championship at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.
With the win, Blinn (38-2) secured an automatic berth at the 16-team national tournament, which begins Wednesday, Nov. 20, at the Winfield Dunn Center on the campus of Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tenn. The Bucs' appearance at nationals will be their fifth in as many seasons.
"We were pretty focused coming into today, and I think we were determined," seventh-year Blinn head coach Terry Gamble said. "I think we're one of the best teams in the country, and our girls deserve to be where they are right now. To win the conference and win the region, it's a testament to our girls, and it's icing on the cake to get to go to the national tournament."
Navarro did its best to stand in Blinn's way, but the Bucs — winners of 31 consecutive matches — prevailed just as they had time and again this season.
In the opening set, Blinn never trailed but did find itself deadlocked with the Bulldogs four times, including an 18-all stalemate late. The Bucs pulled away for good with a 7-3 match-ending run that concluded with a perfect set from freshman setter Leah Hoss to sophomore right-side hitter Kellen Dorotik, who spiked a kill to Navarro's end line.
MaKenna Loo (Joe Alberico)"Everything just seemed to be clicking for us," Dorotik said. "Our hitters were on their game, our defense played an insanely good match, and I think what you saw today was just a result of us ticking up the intensity in practice and being prepared."
Blinn was again in control from the outset in set two, responding to a 1-0 deficit with a 10-2 push. The Bucs never trailed again and thwarted the Bulldogs' attempts to pull even. Leading 23-18, Blinn tallied the final two points of the set on a kill from freshman outside hitter MaKenna Loo and a Navarro hitting error.
"Everybody did their part today," Loo said. "Navarro is a great team and playing them three times this season has been a lot of fun. Whenever you have two teams going against each other, you have to have great plays and great energy, and I think that's kind of what fueled us throughout the match."
Navarro managed to stall Blinn temporarily in the third set as the Bucs had trouble with its serve receive and hitting errors. One game was all Blinn would yield, however, as it got right back to work in the fourth.
After the Bulldogs built a quick 5-3 cushion, an 8-0 run handed the Bucs a lead they would not relinquish. Navarro made it a game in the latter stages of the set and were within 22-19 and 24-21 before Blinn finished it out.
Back-to-back errors by the Bulldogs put the Bucs on the brink, and after two straight points from Navarro, Loo tallied a kill to earn match point.
"MaKenna has done everything we've asked of her this season," Gamble explained. "We asked her to be one of our best in serve receive; one of our best defenders; one of our best hitters; and she's answered the call every time."
Loo led Blinn's offense with 14 kills, Dorotik had 13, and freshman outside hitter Greta Rakow followed with 12. Hoss and freshman setter/blocker Bromli Watson helped the Bucs' hitters to the tune of 22 and 19 set assists, respectively. Loo and sophomore libero Cierra Pesak had three and two service aces.
Gamble said Blinn's defense was another big factor in Sunday's victory, made evident by a robust 77 digs, 10 block assists and three solo blocks.
Pesak anchored the Bucs' floor defense with a team-high 19 digs, while Loo and Hoss added 13 apiece to go with nine from Rakow. At the net, Dorotik had four block assists and freshman middle blockers Jana Cetkovic and Karolina Karabasz tacked on three and two, respectively. Dorotik, Cetkovic, and Karabasz each had a solo block.
Cierra Pesak (Joe Alberico)"Everybody knew that today was a big game and that we were going to have to work and push ourselves as hard as we could to get the job done," said Pesak. "We watched Navarro sweep Trinity Valley (Community College) on Saturday and knew the type of game we were coming into. We had faced them twice already and had an idea of what to expect and a plan to counter it, and we executed."
Dorotik and Pesak were named to the all-tournament team, while Loo was named the tournament MVP.
With its spot in the national tournament cemented, Blinn will now await its seeding. The field of 16 teams will be revealed during a tournament selection show this week. A date and time have yet to be announced by the NJCAA, but the show will be broadcast by the NJCAA Network at www.njcaa.org/network/landing/index.

Justin Garza (Joe Alberico)In its final shot at postseason qualification, the Blinn College football team fell short Saturday, succumbing to Cisco College 19-11 in both teams' regular-season finale at Cub Stadium in Brenham, Texas.
The Southwest Junior College Football Conference loss wrapped up the Buccaneers' season at 4-5 overall and 2-5 in conference play.
Entering the game, Blinn needed to win by a margin of four or more points to earn the fourth seed in the SWJCFC playoffs. Instead, the Wranglers fended off the Bucs to secure the final berth.
Following a defensive shutout in the first quarter, Blinn opened the scoring on a 35-yard field goal from freshman kicker Cameron Noto in the opening minute of the second.
Rylan Wooten (Joe Alberico)A Bucs fumble midway through the second quarter gave Cisco possession deep in Blinn territory, and the Wranglers capitalized with a 1-yard rushing touchdown. Though Cisco's 2-point conversion attempt failed, it pulled ahead for good at 6-3.
Near the 2-minute mark of the first half, the Wranglers added a short touchdown run to make it 13-3.
In the second half, Cisco tacked on a pair of field goals.
The Bucs scored their lone TD of the game late in the fourth quarter on a 27-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Rylan Wooten to sophomore wide receiver Nathan Lewis. Wooten added a 2-point conversion on a keeper into the end zone.
Cisco ran out the clock on its final possession of the game to end it.
(Joshua Blaschke)In the battle for the #2 seed in their district, the Granger Lions defeated the Burton Panther Football Team 40-20 last (Friday) night.
Burton was trailing 7-0 in the first quarter, when K.D. Patterson scored on a one-yard run at the 4:29 mark. The two-point conversion try was no good, but they cut the lead to 7-6.
In the second quarter, the Panthers took their only lead of the game on an 85-yard touchdown pass from Patterson to Drayton Oakes with 3:34 left until halftime. Patterson then completed a pass to Brayden Martin for the two point conversion. That gave Burton a 14-7 lead.
The Lions scored one final time in the first half with 37.6 seconds left to tie it 14-14.
Granger dominated the second half outscoring Burton 26-6.
The Panthers finish the regular season at 6-4, and 5-2 in district.
Next up, Burton will face Brackett High School from Brackettsville, Texas on Friday at 7pm at Harlandale Memorial Stadium in San Antonio. KWHI will broadcast the game live beginning with the pregame on the KWHI.com Sports Alternate Feed.

District Championship Trophy
(Christy Moran)The Brenham Cub Football Team overcame a slow start to defeat the Belton Tigers in the final game of the regular season 42-24 at Birkelbach Stadium.
Belton broke a scoreless tie in the first quarter on a one-yard touchdown run by Sophomore QB Will Shepherd. The Tigers missed the extra point, but still lead 6-0 with 1:56 left.
Brenham started the second quarter by taking the lead on a 46-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Harvey to Chris Guidry. Bleu Cienega made the extra point to give the Cubs a 7-6 lead at the 11:52 mark.
Belton got back on the scoreboard a short time later on a three-yard touchdown run by Kegan Sherwood, and Cole Angell hit the extra point to give the Tigers a 13-7 lead with 10:24 left until halftime.
Shepherd later broke free on a 49-yard touchdown run, and then also ran in the two point conversion to increase the Belton lead to 21-7 with 8:01 left in the second quarter.
Dixon scored his first touchdown of the night on an 18-yard touchdown run with 4:42 left in the half. Cienega nailed the PAT kick to cut the Belton lead to 21-14.
The Tigers got a 30-yard field goal from Angell to take a 24-14 advantage into the locker room at the end of the second quarter.
In the third quarter, it was all Cubs.
Harvey found Tristen Shugart on a 21-yard touchdown pass and after a PAT kick by Cienega, the Belton lead was down to 24-21 with 7:23 left in the third.
On Brenham's next drive, Dixon scored his second touchdown on an eight yard run, and another PAT by Cienega to give the Cubs a 28-24 lead with 5:54 remaining in the third.
It was a lead that they would not relinquish again.
Brenham's next score would come on a blocked punt by Rafael Salgado, and the fumble would be recovered by Ryder Stewart in the end zone for a touchdown. Cienega added another extra point kick, and the Cub lead increased to 35-24 at the 4:35 mark.
For the final score, Dixon broke free on an 83-yard scamper to score his third touchdown of the night, and Cienega made the PAT to give Brenham a 42-24 lead with 59 seconds left in the third quarter.
Neither team scored in the fourth quarter. Although, Belton did have one more drive that took them deep into Cub territory, but Jabreon Moore came up with an interception to seal the deal.
The win improves Brenham to 9-1 overall, and 5-0 in district. Next up, the Cubs move on to the Bi-District Round of the Playoffs, where they will play Texas City next Friday at 7pm at Cub Stadium. KWHI will broadcast the game live beginning with the pregame at 6:30pm on 1280AM, 101.7FM, and KWHI.com.

(Blinn Sports Information)After a game in which he led the Blinn Buccaneer Football Team to a thrilling comeback win over then #9 ranked Navarro, QB Rylan Wooten was named as the NJCAA Division I Offensive Player of the Week.
Blinn was trailing the game 30-7 at halftime, and 37-17 going into the fourth quarter, but rallied to win the game 44-43.
Wooten, who is from Brenham, completed 29 of 43 passes for 426 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns. The majority of those came in the fourth quarter in which the Bucs outscored Navarro 27-6.

Kellen Dorotik (Joe Alberico)Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
The ninth-ranked Blinn College volleyball team remained undefeated in Region XIV play with a home sweep of Tyler Junior College at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.
The 25-10, 25-7, 25-16 victory pushed the Buccaneers' winning streak to 22 consecutive matches as they improved to 29-2 overall and 7-0 in region matchups.

Kellen Dorotik (Joe Alberico)Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Statements come in many forms.
On Saturday in Athens, Texas, No. 11 Blinn College volleyball made one with a decisive road sweep of Region XIV rival and ninth-ranked Trinity Valley Community College.
The Buccaneers outlasted the Cardinals in a close first set before cruising in the final two games to earn a 25-22, 25-14, 25-10 victory. Blinn pushed its winning streak to 21 games while improving to 28-2 overall and 6-0 in the region standings.
"The girls played really well today and I'm proud of them," Bucs head coach Terry Gamble said. "To go on the road and beat a really good team is always good."
NJCAA Division I kills leader and sophomore right-side hitter Kellen Dorotik stepped up big for Blinn as she paced her team with 18 successful attacks. Dorotik's team-high kill total bumped her season tally to 468. Her teammate and freshman outside hitter MaKenna Loo is the only hitter in the country currently trailing her in kills, and Loo put forth a timely 11 against Trinity Valley.
Freshman outside hitter Greta Rakow chipped in eight kills.
Leah Hoss (Joe Alberico)In the center of the offense was freshman setters Leah Hoss and Bromli Watson, who drew praise from Gamble after dishing out 23 and 14 assists, respectively.
At the service line, Loo and sophomore libero Cierra Pesak knocked down two aces apiece.
On defense, Pesak and Look had a strong ballgame, with Pesak controlling the floor to the tune of 11 digs and Loo's 10-dig outing trailing right behind her. At the net, Dorotik tallied one solo block to go with four assists, while freshman middle blockers Jana Cetkovic and Karolina Karabasz added three apiece.
Blinn returns home for a region clash with Tyler Junior College set for 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 1, at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.
Rylan Wooten (Joe Alberico)Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
With his team trailing by 23 points at halftime, Blinn College quarterback Rylan Wooten pulled his team outside of the locker room for an offensive meeting.
"I told our guys, 'we need to do this for us,'" Wooten recalled of his message. "I told them we are better than what we showed in that first half."
Wooten was right.
The Buccaneers not only erased their deficit, they stormed all the way back behind a wild fourth-quarter rally capped by Wooten's QB keeper with :28 seconds remaining as Blinn stunned No. 9 Navarro College 44-43 on Saturday at Cub Stadium in Brenham, Texas.
The victory was made possible by a handful of big scoring plays, as well as a see-it-to-believe it on-side kick that set up the Bucs' go-ahead touchdown drive.
"I'm very proud of these kids because this was the definition of a team win," Blinn head coach Ryan Mahon said. "We always talk about dealing with adversity, and tonight they handled it, they didn't give up on each other, and they knew if they started making plays good things would happen, and that's exactly what happened."
Blinn (2-1, 1-1 SWJCFC) got on the board at the 13:35 mark of the second quarter when sophomore halfback Jalen Washington crossed the goal line from 8 yards out, but the Bucs went into halftime trailing 30-7. Blinn wouldn't score again until sophomore kicker Max Nowak drilled a 21-yard field goal with 9:35 to go in the third quarter.
Wooten made it a 37-17 ballgame when he scored on a 7-yard run with just over 5 minutes to play in the third.
Navarro (2-2, 1-2) maintained its 20-point advantage until the Bucs began chipping away with chunk plays in the fourth.
Ending a series that started in the third quarter and bled into the fourth, Wooten fired a deep ball to sophomore wide receiver Nathan Lewis, who hauled in the pass over his shoulder and evaded a diving defender as he raced into the end zone for a 51-yard score with 14:30 left in the game.
The Bulldogs booted a 47-yard field goal at the 12:38 mark, but Blinn got right back to work on its subsequent drive.
Starting from their own 25, Wooten and the Bucs moved to the 39 before the quarterback rifled a short pass to freshman running back Justin Howard. A Navarro defender dove to tip the pass but missed as Howard got his hands on it and galloped 61 yards untouched for a TD.
"We just started spreading their defense out with our speed," Wooten said. "We knew we were going to have to score quickly if we were going to have a chance at the win, and our speed allowed us to do that."
Blinn's 2-point conversion attempt was no good as the Bulldogs remained ahead 40-30 with 11:30 to go.
After a scoring drought for both teams which lasted nearly 8 1/2 minutes, Navarro padded its lead with a 50-yard field goal with just 2:51 remaining.
From there, the Bucs' chances hinged on a quick score, an onside kick, and another quick score, and miraculously, they achieved all three.
Once again starting from its own 25, Blinn advanced to its own 42 on a quick pass to freshman receiver Tracy James Jr. Following the 2-minute warning, Wooten threw on the run and linked up with wide-open freshman wideout Austin Abram III for a 28-yard gain. Wooten then scampered to the Navarro 20 and completed the drive with a pass-catch-and-run connection with Abram III.
Nowak's PAT made it 43-37 with 1:13 left.
Nowak then returned to the field alongside freshman kicker Cameron Noto, as the Bucs deployed some trickery and misdirection on their onside-kick attempt. Nowak ultimately lofted a kick near the Blinn sideline, and as the ball descended toward a group of Bulldogs, Bucs sophomore defensive end Justin Garza bulldozed a blocker who was attempting to protect a would-be recoverer, effectively disrupting Navarro's retrieval as James Jr. scooped the ball up off a bounce.
"It was a matter of do-or-die, and I had to give everything I had left for that play," Garza said. "Once we got the ball back, our offense knew exactly what they had to do and they handled their business."
With 1:12 showing on the clock, Blinn began its final possession without any timeouts. Starting from the Bulldog 48-yard line, the Bucs got going on a 14-yard strike from Wooten to Lewis. Wooten then hit Abram III for 20 more yards as Blinn entered the red zone. Wooten kept it on the ground for 10 yards, setting up first and goal at the Navarro 4. Wooten then capped the rally with a run up the middle and into the end zone.
Max Nowak (Joe Alberico)Nowak's PAT put the Bucs on top to stay.
A deep pass got the Bulldogs into Bucs territory at the 45-yard line with 4 seconds to go, but Blinn's pass rush came up big on the final snap of the game.
Navarro sophomore quarterback Mason Shorb was flushed out of the pocket and chased toward the sideline by four Buccaneer defenders, and freshman defensive end Cooper Kohan met him with a thunderous sack to end it.
"Everything that transpired tonight reiterates what we as a coaching staff have been preaching to our players since day one," Mahon said, "and that's hard work, dedication, teamwork, execution, staying together as a team, and loving one another, and all of that manifested itself on the football field tonight."
Blinn continues its season with another tough conference matchup as the Bucs face No. 10 Trinity Valley Community College at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5, in Athens, Texas.
Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Rebecca Madrid (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College women's soccer team answered its coach's call for an offensive outbreak with a decisive 3-0 Region XIV victory over Texas Southmost College on Friday in Brownsville, Texas.
The Buccaneers jumped to 4-5-1 overall and 3-4 in the region standings.
Blinn earned the victory three days removed from a scoreless tie against North American University, a result that left head coach Alexandria Jackson imploring her team to find ways to cash in on its opportunities.
The Bucs hit the jackpot against the Scorpions, tallying its first goal just 30 seconds into the match.
"It was a fantastic job from the players today," Jackson said. "They have been through a lot of adversity this year and they continue to fight. We spoke all week about the lessons in adversity and adversity being necessary for success, and from start to finish today they were dominant. We dominated in possession, shots , and effort. They showed great heart today."
After freshman midfielder Rebecca Madrid opened the scoring for Blinn, sophomore midfielder Eleanor Sargeant made it 2-0 with a tally in the 6th minute.
Jordan Clark (Joe Alberico)Following the intermission, sophomore forwards Alyssa Wright and Marissa Aparicio linked up in the 49th minute as Aparicio fed Wright for a goal that stretched the lead to 3-0.
Texas Southmost got on the board with a tally in the 51st minute.
Earning the victory in goal for the Bucs was sophomore keeper Jordan Clark, who made five saves.
Blinn totaled 20 shots, including 15 on goal.
The Bucs get back to work with a region bout against Jacksonville College scheduled for 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 1, at Rankin Field in Brenham, Texas.
Connor Vela (Joe Alberico)Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
The Blinn College men's soccer team rode a second-half goal and a valiant effort from its freshman goalkeeper to a 1-0 Region XIV road win over Texas Southmost College on Friday in Brownsville, Texas.
The victory improved the Buccaneers to 7-4-2 overall and pushed their region record to 4-3.
"It can't be overstated just how big this win was for us today," Blinn head coach Michael McBride said. "We have been missing so many key players recently due to injury, so this period of games was always going to be really tough for us, but we've come through it."
Devon Arnold (Joe Alberico)The Bucs got a big boost against the host Scorpions thanks to a clean sheet from freshman keeper Connor Vela. The first-year netminder recorded five saves en route to his sixth victory of the year. Vela also moved into fifth all-time in Blinn history with his 61st save.

Leah Hoss sets for Jana Cetkovic (By Joe Alberico)Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
The 12th-ranked Blinn College volleyball team concluded its final regular-season tournament with a pair of sweeps on the last day of the Blinn Invitational on Saturday at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.
The Bucs picked up victories over Ranger College and Hill College to conclude the Invitational with a 4-0 mark.
"I'm really proud of the girls for their toughness and how they went through a stretch of a lot of games and went undefeated," Blinn head coach Terry Gamble said. "It speaks volumes to their character and their desire to be successful."
The Bucs improved to 26-2 overall and pushed their winning streak to 19 matches.
Blinn's opening match Saturday resulted in a 25-15, 25-16, 25-22 victory over Ranger.
Freshman outside hitter MaKenna Loo and sophomore right-side hitter and NJCAA Division I kills leader Kellen Dorotik paced the Bucs' offense with 14 and 12 kills, respectively. Freshman outside hitter Greta Rakow chipped in eight.
In the middle of the offense were freshman setters Bromli Watson and Leah Hoss, who dished out 20 and 15 assists. Loo and freshman libero/setter Avelyn Ireland knocked down a pair of aces apiece.
Defensively, freshman libero Sophie Ilagan continued her solid play with 17 digs, followed by 12 for sophomore libero Cierra Pesak. At the net, freshman middle blocker Jana Cetkovic had four block assists, and Loo, Dorotik, and freshman hitter/blocker Rosalinda Navarro each posted two.
Blinn wrapped up its day with a 25-16, 25-15, 25-21 over Hill.
Spearheading the offense once again were Loo (16 kills) and Dorotik (14).
Hoss had a team-high 18 set assists with Bromli chipping in 16. Rakow had a good match at the service line with four aces.
Ilagan remained the Bucs' defensive stalwart with a team-best 15 digs, and Loo followed with 11. Hoss and Ireland tacked on seven apiece.
At the net, Cetkovic and Watson picked up four block assists, and Navarro, Dorotik, and freshman middle blocker Karolina Karabasz had two each.
The Bucs have 10 regular-season matches remaining, all against Region XIV opponents. Blinn will look to improve on its 4-0 region mark when it hosts Coastal Bend College at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at the Kruse Center.

Jalen Washington (Joe Alberico)Blinn College football got off to a rough start in conference play Saturday after a last-minute rally came up short and sealed a 21-16 loss to New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, N.M.
The Southwest Junior College Football Conference (SWJCFC) setback dropped the Buccaneers to 1-1 overall and 0-1 in conference play.
"We missed opportunities across the board," Blinn head coach Ryan Mahon said. "I thought our defense played really well, especially after we put them in some bad situations, but they still gave us an opportunity to win the game."
The Bucs had a chance at the lead in the final 50 seconds of play, starting their final possession at their own 34-yard line before moving all the way down to the Broncos' 22. A 26-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Rylan Wooten to freshman wide receiver Jakerrian Roquemore put Blinn at the NMMI 22 with 5 seconds remaining. Wooten dropped back to pass on the final play of the game, and his throw to freshman receiver Austin Abram III was knocked away as time expired.
"The game shouldn't have come down to that final drive, but that was the situation we put ourselves in," Mahon added. "We started to get some things figured out in the second half, but moving forward we have to make sure we put a full 60 minutes together."
The Broncos got on the board right out of the gate, starting with the football at their own 35 and ending the game's opening drive with a 19-yard scoring pass. The PAT made it 7-0 at the 12:43 mark in the first quarter.
Blinn struck back in the second quarter, starting at its own 30-yard line with 13:13 showing in the second quarter and capping the 70-yard drive with a 7-yard scamper from Wooten.
The PAT was off target as the Bucs climbed to within 7-6 with 8:13 left in the half.
Blinn took the lead in the second half following a missed Broncos field goal. The Bucs marched from their own 30-yard line to the NMMI 1, and sophomore running back Jalen Washington put his team on top with a run up the middle. Sophomore Max Nowak nailed the PAT to make it 13-7 with 9:04 left in the third.
The Broncos regained the lead for good in the third quarter on an 8-yard rushing TD with 5:43 to go in the third.
A 32-yard TD pass pushed the NMMI lead to 21-13 with 11:46 left in the fourth quarter.
Blinn's final score of the game came off the foot of Nowak, who booted a 35-yard field goal with 8:41 remaining.
The Bucs continue their season with a tough conference home tilt against No. 6 Navarro College at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28, at Cub Stadium in Brenham, Texas.
Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Mathew Williams (Joe Alberico)Two quick goals from Miami Dade College did little to dissuade the Blinn College men's soccer team Sunday.
The Buccaneers rallied to tie the match twice – including a deadlocking goal in the final three minutes of play – to earn an impressive 3-3 tie with Miami Dade at Rankin Field in Brenham, Texas.
Miami Dade is in its first season of soccer since dissolving its program in 1990, but the Sharks hit the ground running this season with two wins to open the year, including a shutout of 2023 national champion Monroe College.
"We showed real resiliency today," Blinn head coach Michael McBride said. "Down two goals early, I think a lot of teams would give up and our men didn't. I think the result was right; it was an evenly matched game."
After the Sharks jumped ahead with tallies in the 9th and 11th minutes, it took a late-half penalty conversion from sophomore midfielder Mathew Williams to get the Buccaneers (1-1-2) going.
Williams fired a bullet to the right of the Miami Dade goalkeeper and found the net to make it 2-1 in the 44th minute.
"I'm confident when it comes to taking penalty shots," said Williams. "My team backs me, my coaches back me, so stepping in to take that shot, it's a huge confidence boost when you're trying to get your team back in the game."
The teams remained separated by a goal until the 53rd minute.
Joseph Afful (Joe Alberico)Freshman forward Joseph Afful fired a long shot from the corner toward the front post that bounced off the hands of the Shark keeper and into the goal.
Freshmen midfielders Geoff Ojango and Nawfal Hadj-Hamou assisted on the play.
Miami Dade would take the lead for a final time in the 66th minute, but the Bucs continued fighting and that determination paid off late in the match.
In the 88th minute, freshman forward Devon Arnold crossed a pass from the right corner of the box to fellow freshman forward Ethan Lindo, who tapped the ball over the keeper for the tying tally. Freshman midfielder Joe Coyle also had a hand in the score.
"I was waiting in the area and was ready to pounce on the chance when it came," Lindo explained. "The ball came across and I finished it; I just did my job. This performance shows that we can be up there with the top teams in the country. I thought we could have won today, but we'll take the point and continue working to get better."
McBride also credited his team for executing a tweak in its defensive scheme after the Sharks jumped ahead 2-0.
Connor Vela (Joe Alberico)"We tried to stretch them out a little bit, which is not usually our go-to strategy," the coach said. "We tried to make the field big and make it a running game. We moved the ball around quicker in the midfield with fewer touches. We were relentless. Miami Dade is a very good team, and they are going to win a lot of games this year, so to go toe-to-toe with a team like that, that fills you with confidence."
The Sharks out-shot the Bucs 17-16, while Blinn
held a 10-6 edge in corner kicks. Bucs freshman keeper Connor Vela finished with nine saves.
Up next for Blinn is a match against Rise SC at 7:30 p.m. tonight (Tuesday) at Rankin Field.

The 15th-ranked Buccaneers conclude the Classic with games against No. 14 Daytona State, No. 2 Miami Dade on Saturday
Day two of the Kruse Kickoff Classic was both a learning and rewarding experience for the Blinn College volleyball team.
A tough three-set loss at the hands of No. 10 New Mexico Junior College preceded an impressive rebound for the Buccaneers as they capped their day with a thrilling-five set victory over eighth-ranked Odessa College on Friday at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.
Makaila Piggee“I thought we learned a lot today and hopefully we can learn from the little mistakes that we made,” Blinn head coach Terry Gamble said. “I was proud of the girls for finishing with a really big win over Odessa; they are a really good team.”
Though the Bucs dropped their first contest of the day, they played New Mexico closely as the match went the way of the Thunderbirds 27-25, 25-19, 26-24.
Gamble praised the play of hitters Kellen Dorotik and MaKenna Loo, two hitters he said helped the Bucs stay in Friday’s first tilt and win the second.
Against New Mexico, Dorotik (sophomore) registered 14 kills to go with three block assists. Loo added 10 kills, a service ace, six digs, and two block assists.
Freshman setter Bromli Watson distributed 21 set assists and had seven digs, while freshman libero Sophie Ilagan matched her with seven digs. Freshman Makaila Piggee paced the Bucs with five block assists.
Bromli WatsonIn closing out the day, Blinn won its first two sets against Odessa before fending off the Wranglers to secure a 25-22, 26-24, 25-27, 22-25, 15-13 win.
While Dorotik (18 kills) and Loo (14) again paced the Buccaneer attack, freshmen hitters Rosalinda Navarro and Greta Rakow followed with 11 and 10 kills, respectively. Rakow also had six aces.
Watson kept the offensive moving with 36 assists while freshman setter Leah Hoss dished out 15.
Ilagan and Loo anchored Blinn’s defense with 20 digs apiece, followed by 12 for sophomore libero Ciera Pesak. Navarro had a strong performance at the net with a pair of solo blocks and four block assists. Loo, Dorotik, and Jana Cetkovic each had a solo block.

The Brenham Cub Football Team opened the season with a thrilling come-from-behind 39-35 win over the Huntsville Hornets on Friday night. The Cubs avenged a loss they suffered on that same field a year ago.
Brenham got off to a good start in the first quarter. On their opening drive, Jordan Harvey found Cartelle Brown on a 41 yard touchdown pass at 9:28. After Huntsville got penalized on the extra point try, the Cubs decided to go for it, and Jakoby Dixon ran it in for the two-point conversion to make it 8-0.
Brenham got the ball back after Defensive End Mason Seeber intercepted a pass, and returned it to the Hornet three-yard line. Dixon, then, ran in the touchdown at the 8:00 mark, and Bleu Cienega kicked the extra point to give the Cubs a 15-0 lead.
Huntsville got on the scoreboard with a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter. QB Austin Taylor ran one in from 5-yards out and later found Savion Conteh on a touchdown pass. The Hornets went for a two-point conversion to try to tie it, but the pass failed, so Brenham took a 15-13 lead into the locker room at half time.
In the third quarter, on their opening drive, Bleu Cienega kicked a 30-yard field goal to extend the Cubs lead to 18-13.
Huntsville RB Trae'Shawn Brown scored on a pair of touchdown runs. The Hornets scored a two point conversion on a Taylor pass to Zay Adolphe, and extra point by Caleb Culak, to put them in front 28-18 going into the fourth quarter.
Brenham battled back as Dixon scored on a 41-yard touchdown run to cut it to 28-24. The extra point was no good.
The Hornets extended their lead on a touchdown run by Adolphe, and an extra point by Culak to make the score 35-24 Huntsville.
The Cubs were not done yet though. Xyran Upshaw scored on a two-yard run, and then caught a pass from Jordan Harvey for the two-point conversion to trim the Hornet lead down to three points, 35-32.
Brenham later got the ball back. On a fourth down play, Dixon lined up in the Wildcat, and looked like he got stuffed at the line of scrimmage, but pulled off an escape that would make the late Harry Houdini proud, and ran the ball down to the Hornet six yard line. Upshaw would score from six yards out and Cienega added the extra point to give put the Cubs back in front 39-35 with 2:32 left in the game.
Huntsville's last drive would end on an interception by Jabreon Moore to seal the victory for the Brenham Cubs.

Ethan Lindo (Joe Alberico)Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
The Blinn College men's soccer team earned its first victory of the season in dominant fashion.
Freshman forward Ethan Lindo scored three goals, sophomore forwards Na'el Shalabi and Phillip Arceneaux added two apiece, and the Buccaneers overwhelmed Houstonians FC en route to a 13-0 win Thursday at Rankin Field inside Hohlt Park in Brenham, Texas.
"It's nice to get our first win, but we have to immediately focus on our next game," Blinn head coach Michael McBride said. "It's time to get ready to take on a team that has just beaten the reigning national champions."
Na'el Shalabi (Joe Alberico)The Bucs will go toe-to-toe with Miami Dade College at 10 a.m. on Sunday, at Hohlt Park, but garnered some much-needed momentum Thursday night.
Houstonians FC surrendered an own goal in the 9th minute, but the Blinn offense took care of business from there.
The Bucs tallied five first-half goals, including tallies from Shalabi in the 38th and 39th minutes. Shortly after the intermission, Lindo scored back-to-back-to-back goals in minutes 46, 47, and 49. Arceneaux scored in the 70th and 76th minutes.
Phillip Arceneaux (Joe Alberico)An unassisted goal from freshman defender Gabriel Ordonez and a score from freshman midfielder Joe Coyle late in the match capped the offensive onslaught.
Freshman midfielder Cristian Estrada, freshman defender Adrian Nieto-Saul, and freshman forward Devon Arnold also scored goals for the Bucs.
Freshman midfielder Joaquin Rosales set a single-game program record with four assists, while Lindo, Shalabi, Ordonez, sophomore midfielder Mathew Williams, freshman forwards Joseph Afful, Jesus Florencio, and Fernando Arroyo, freshman midfielder Geoff Ojango, and freshman defender Alfredo Morales also picked up assists.
Blinn freshmen goalkeepers Bennett Woodworth and Connor Vela each played one half in goal and had a quiet night as the Buccaneer defense held Houstonians FC without a shot.
Austin Schlottmann (N.Y. Giants)Former Brenham Cub OL Austin Schlottmann, who is now with the New York Giants, was placed on injured reserve on Thursday.
Schlottmann suffered a broken fibula during practice on Wednesday.

He played college football at TCU.
The season gets underway tonight (Friday) for the Brenham Cubs as they head out on the road to face the Huntsville Hornets. Huntsville won last year's meeting between the two teams, when they were still in the same district, 39-36.

The opening kickoff is scheduled for 7pm. KWHI will have live coverage beginning with the pregame at 6:30pm.
The Burton Panthers will be taking on the Holland Hornets tonight (Friday) at 7pm. Because of Panther Stadium not yet being ready to host games, tonight’s game will be held at Cub Stadium in Brenham. Last year, Holland defeated Burton 31-14.

Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
The Blinn College women's basketball program is sending three of its top players to the next level.
Sophomores Tianna Mathis and Jasmyn Jackson, along with freshman Chelsy Singleton are headed to four-year collegiate programs to continue their basketball careers following successful runs with the Buccaneers.
Each of the three athletes played pivotal roles in Blinn's third-consecutive run to the NJCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship tournament last season.
Tianna Mathis (Blinn College)Mathis, a guard from Rudder, Texas, is headed to Texas Southern University, an NCAA Division I program located in Houston.
Mathis, who took a redshirt year with the Bucs during the 2021-22 campaign, was a key role player who helped Blinn reach the national tournament in her two active seasons with the Bucs. In her final year with Blinn, Mathis put up averages of six points, three assists, and almost eight rebounds. Mathis also provided stellar defense with more than one steal and four rebounds per contest.
"Tianna did all of the dirty work for us this year," Blinn head coach Jeff Jenkins said. "She was our best defender and rebounder, and she brought a high basketball IQ to the team. She really was the glue of this year's squad."
Jasmyn Jackson (Blinn College)Jackson, of Cypress, Texas, joined Mathis this year as the only returners from Blinn's 2022-23 national tournament team. The talented forward is headed to Division II St. Edward's University (Austin, Texas) after averaging 4.6 points and 4.4 rebounds to go with 1.3 blocks per outing.
"Jasmyn was someone you were happy to have on your side," Jenkins said. "She shot the ball really well from the perimeter; she was a great shot blocker; and she really protected the rim for us. There was never an easy basket for the other team when Jasmyn was on the floor. She was a great student, player, and person."
Chelsy Singleton (Blinn College)Singleton made a big impact for the Bucs during her lone season at Blinn and is now headed to Division I Northwestern State University (Natchitoches, La.). The athletic guard earned Region XIV first-team all-region/all-conference honors after leading the Bucs with 13.8 points per game. She also averaged two assists, almost four rebounds, and more than one steal per game.
"She kept us in a lot of games this season because of offensive ability alone," Jenkins said. "Chelsy could score in several different ways. She was our offensive leader and always gave us a chance to get a basket when we needed one."
The Buccaneers finished the 2023-24 season with a 24-10 record before winning the Region XIV Tournament to advance to the national tournament.
Eric Weaver (Buccaneersports.com)The National Champion Blinn Buccaneers have an assistant coaching vacancy on their staff.
Associate Head Coach Eric Weaver has been named as the new Head Baseball Coach of the San Jacinto Ravens.
Weaver has been with Blinn for the last two seasons where he also served as pitching coach, third base coach, co-recruiting coordinator, and athletic advisor to three men’s sports.
As a member of Coach Dusty Hart’s staff, Blinn won its first ever baseball National Championship this past season with a 47-17 record. The Bucs beat the Ravens 2-1 in the Super Regional to advance to Grand Junction.
Weaver returns to San Jacinto where he had spent eight years as the pitching coach, co-recruiting coordinator, and as the team’s academic advisor. During those eight seasons, they made six appearances in the NJCAA World Series, finished National Runner-Up twice, and captured six Region XIV Titles.
Weaver takes the place of long time coach Tom Arrington, who resigned back in December. According to a report by KHOU-TV, the Hall of Famer wanted time to recover from a back injury. Assistant Coach David Wood served as interim head coach this past season.

(Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information)
Blinn College head baseball coach Dusty Hart has been named the 2024 American Baseball Coaches Association/ATEC National Coach of the Year for NJCAA Division I Baseball.
The ABCA/ATEC National and Regional Coaches of the Year are selected by members of the ABCA All-America & Coach of the Year Committees in nine divisions: NCAA Divisions I, II and III, NAIA, NJCAA Divisions I, II and III, Pacific Association Division and high school.
Hart was among 11 honorees.
The Blinn skipper is now a two-time winner of the ABCA/ATEC award, having also earned the accolade following a national championship with Grayson College in 2008.
In just his second season at Blinn, Hart and the Bucs captured the program's first baseball national title. Blinn defeated Northwest Florida State College 11-5 in the championship game of the JUCO World Series on June 1 at Sam Suplizio Field in Grand Junction, Colo.
"It's an honor to be recognized, but at the end of the day, this award is a Blinn College baseball award," Hart said. "Having great administration and support; having great assistants like Eric Weaver, Cameron Rupp, Jimmy Kirk, and Kyle Peschel; and of course, being blessed with the amazing group of players who went out and won all of those games for us, that's what this award is about. This just serves as another reminder of how special that entire group of people really was this year."
Blinn finished its campaign with a 47-17 record, a Region XIV South Division regular-season crown, a Region XIV South Regional Tournament title, and a Mid-South District championship.
Hart is now 93-32 in two seasons at Blinn and holds a 718-314 career mark across 18 seasons as an NJCAA head coach.

Story by Kyle Stafford, Texas A&M Athletics Communications
Evan Aschenbeck (12thman.com)Texas A&M left-hander Evan Aschenbeck has been named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper of the Year, as announced by the organization Friday morning.
Aschenbeck is the first player in program history and the fourth from the SEC to receive the honor, which is given to the top relief pitcher in NCAA Division I Baseball.
The left-hander has been outstanding in 28 relief appearances this season for the Aggies, boasting a 6-1 record and an SEC-best nine saves. Entering the College World Series, Aschenbeck leads the nation in ERA (1.66) and WHIP (0.80). The lefty also ranks fourth nationally in strikeout-to-walk ratio (9.0) and walks allowed per nine (0.80).
The Brenham, Texas, native is limiting opponents to a .185 batting average and has totaled 72 strikeouts to only eight walks in 65 innings of work. Of his 28 appearances, 24 have been for multiple innings and 18 have been scoreless outings.
In the postseason, Aschenbeck has been instrumental in helping the Maroon & White to the College World Series for the eighth time in program history. The left-hander has allowed only one run on two hits over 9.1 innings of work during Texas A&M's run to Omaha and recorded back-to-back saves in the Super Regional against Oregon. The senior has also punched out eight batters in his three postseason appearances.Aschenbeck and the Aggies return to action Saturday night for their opening game of the College World Series against Florida at 6 p.m.

The UIL Legislative Council approved an amendment that would change the format for the post season in several sports.
Baseball, softball, volleyball, soccer, and basketball are now going to be following a similar pattern that has been adopted by football in the playoffs.
Four teams from each district will still go to the playoffs. The two teams with the highest enrollments go into the Division I playoffs. The two teams with the lowest enrollments go into the Division II playoffs.
Just like with football, instead of there being six state champions, there will now be 12 state champions.
For the Brenham Cubs and Burton Panthers, if they make the playoffs, they will be in Division II. This is due to both having among the lowest enrollments in their respective districts.
Brenham’s district for volleyball, basketball, soccer, baseball, and softball consists of Bryan Rudder, College Station, A&M Consolidated, Huntsville, Montgomery, and Lake Creek.
Meanwhile, Burton has a different district for each sport.
The changes will also eliminate the Region Quarterfinal round of the playoffs.
In addition to that, it will separate the Region Semifinals and Finals, and the State Semifinals and Finals, to where they will no longer be played on back-to-back days.
The new changes take effect August 1.

Former Brenham Cub Swimmer Guy Buls has been named as the new Assistant Women's Swimming and Diving Coach at Toledo University.
First-year head coach Jacy Dyer announced the addition of Guy Buls to the Toledo women's swimming & diving coaching staff as an assistant coach for the 2024-25 season on Wednesday. Buls comes to the Glass City after serving three years as an assistant coach at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.
"I want to thank Coach Dyer and Toledo Athletics for giving me this opportunity," said Buls. "Jacy is a well-respected coach and former swimmer. I look forward to continuing to create and innovate my coaching style while working under her. Most importantly, I look forward to continuing the Toledo swimming program's legacy and aiding in our student-athletes' growth and development to become champions in and out of the pool."
In 2022-23, Buls' second year on the Red Wave staff, the men's team matched a program-best ninth-place finish and the women's team took 13th at the DII NCAA Championships.
Buls has also coached in international competition as an assistant coach for the U.S. men's sprinters at the 2023 University World Games in China.
A 2012 graduate of Brenham High School, Buls swam backstroke and breaststroke at Henderson State (2012-16).
He served as team captain, was named team MVP, and swam a 4:02.03 in the 400 IM which still ranks fourth in Red Wave history. Buls was a four-time academic all-conference honoree and earned a degree in business finance in 2016.
Guy is the son of Richard and Paula Buls of Brenham.

Eighth-ranked Blinn advanced to the title game for the first time in program history and will face No. 4 Northwest Florida State at 8 p.m. on Saturday
Bryson Dudley told his head coach he didn’t want to go home.
Then he went out and proved it.
The sophomore pitcher tossed 4 2/3 incredible innings in relief, and the No. 8 Blinn College baseball team powered past No. 2 Georgia Highlands College 15-10 in the JUCO World Series semifinal round Friday at Sam Suplizio Field in Grand Junction, Colo.
Bryson DudleyBuccaneers skipper Dusty Hart will now lead his team into the program’s first appearance in the NJCAA Division I Baseball championship game, where it will face fourth-ranked Northwest Florida State College at 8 p.m. (Central) on Saturday. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN Plus, while a radio presentation will be available at www.tsbnsports.com.
Although Blinn (46-17) was again the beneficiary of its stout offense, it was a herculean effort from Dudley that almost certainly paved the way to Saturday’s title tilt.
Two days after giving up six earned runs on 63 pitches in a 15-14 loss to the Chargers, Dudley returned to the mound with short-term memory loss. He shut down Georgia Highlands on 75 pitches, allowing only a harmless solo home run as part of a two-hit outing. He struck out seven Chargers and didn’t issue a walk while regularly serving up a mid-90s fastball.
“I was just ready to go; I was amped. I wanted another chance at (Georgia Highlands) and I was ready to step up,” Dudley said. “Since the beginning of this season, it’s been all about pounding the strike zone, and that’s what I tried to do tonight. I pounded the zone, got outs, and let my defense work behind me.”
The Buccaneer defense also shined once again, including a game-ending catch at the right-field wall for sophomore outfield Tanner Reaves, and a see-it-to-believe-it no-look grab on a grounder for sophomore shortstop Tony Vernars.
Sophomore pitcher Brendan Sweeney started for Blinn and worked 4 1/3 frames. On just three days' rest, the right-hander labored through a gutsy start before giving way to Dudley with his team leading 11-9.
Blinn got the scoring started in the top of the first frame when Reaves opened the game with a triple. One out later, freshman Caden Ferraro singled him home for a 1-0 lead.
Georgia Highlands rallied in the second inning, scoring four runs for its only lead of the ballgame.
Blinn answered with eighth runs in the third to regain control for good. After Reaves again led off with a base hit, sophomore Cade Climie followed with a home run to center field. Ferraro then followed with a solo shot to right-center to tie the game. It was the World Series-leading fifth home run for both Climie and Ferraro, who also went back-to-back during Blinn’s victory over Florence-Darlington Technical College on Thursday.
Caden Ferraro celebrates with his teammates after his home run.“I have all the faith in the world in this offense,” Reaves said. “We hit; I think that’s what we’re known for. It’s been pretty unreal how many runs we’ve scored in five games, but I can’t say I’m surprised.”
The Chargers cut into Blinn’s lead with a run in the fifth, and answered the Bucs’ fifth-inning two spot with four runs in their half of the frame.
From there, Dudley took the ball and dominated. He struck out the final two hitters in the fifth and fanned the side in the sixth.
The Bucs added three insurance runs in the sixth and one more in the eighth before Georgia Highlands got its only run off Dudley in the bottom of the eighth.
Blinn finished with 18 hits, led by a pair of four-hit performances for Reaves and Climie. Climie plated a team-high four RBIs. Ferraro, Vernars, and sophomores Connor McGinnis and Coy DeFury had two hits apiece. Reaves, Ferraro, and McGinnis each had two RBIs.
“This team is absolutely relentless, and we just fight until the end no matter what,” Dudley added. “Our defense has been amazing, our hitting has been amazing … it has just been awesome to play for this team.”

Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Cade Climie (Joe Alberico)With the bases loaded and down to its final out of the season, the Blinn College baseball team chose to show a little patience.
What a choice it was.
The eighth-ranked Buccaneers drew three consecutive walks with runners at every base in the top of the ninth inning and had to wait out a crucial umpire review in the home half to complete a wild 21-19 come-from-behind semifinal win over No. 6 Florence-Darlington Technical College on Thursday at the JUCO World Series in Grand Junction, Colo.
The Bucs (45-17) are just two wins away from their first NJCAA Division I Baseball championship and will now face second-ranked Georgia Highlands College in a rematch at 7 p.m. on Friday at Sam Suplizio Field. Georgia Highlands defeated Blinn in walk-off fashion (15-14) on Wednesday but fell to Northwest Florida State (13-3) in Thursday's nightcap.
The Bucs can advance to a championship tilt with Northwest Florida State with a win over Georgia Highlands.
"I probably need to check my blood pressure," Bucs head coach Dusty Hart joked after Thursday's victory. "Just a crazy game, man … unbelievable."
The ballgame went 4 hours and 14 minutes and saw 13 pitchers combine for 470 pitches. The two offenses totaled 48 hits and 22 walks.
"That game was just two resilient teams that didn't want to go home," Hart added. "Everybody was battling until the very last out."
Blinn finished off the comeback thanks to its rally and the first-career relief appearance for game-one starter Lucas Davenport. The freshman recorded the last five outs for the Bucs and earned the win after escaping a jam with runners on first and third with two outs in the ninth. Considering the chaotic ballgame which came before it, the final out was recorded in fitting fashion after sophomore shortstop Tony Vernars fielded a high chopper and fired to freshman first baseman Paxton Terveen. Terveen, who was inserted as a defensive substitution in the ninth, corralled the throw and kept his foot on the base, but a collision with the Florence-Darlington baserunner pushed him from the bag and drew an initial safe call from the first-base umpire.
Paxton Terveen (Joe Alberico)After a short review, the call was overturned and Blinn's dugout emptied into a celebration on the field.
"Nothing ever surprises me," Hart said of the game-ending review. "I've pretty much seen it all at this point."
Blinn defeated Florence-Darlington 17-7 in a five-inning third-round tilt earlier in the tournament, and it looked as though the rematch was again headed in that direction.
The Bucs scored one in the first inning and tacked on four more in the second for a 5-0 lead, but the Stingers stormed back with five runs of their own in the bottom of the third.
Blinn regained the lead with a five-run fifth, and after Florence-Darlington answered with two runs in the fourth and one in the fifth, the Bucs kept the pressure on with another five-spot in the sixth.
Coy DeFury (Joe Alberico)The game was three outs from a run-rule finish after a three-run seventh had Blinn in control 18-9, but the Stingers rallied for seven runs in their half of the frame before grabbing the lead on a three-run homer in the eighth.
"We had the run rule in effect, and then Florence-Darlington started barreling up everything," sophomore second baseman Connor McGinnis said. "It was hard, but we just got back on our feet and kept pushing."
Sophomore first baseman Coy DeFury led off Blinn's ninth inning with a walk and was lifted for freshman pinch runner Carson Peschel. Vernars followed with a walk before sophomore Brayden Sprencel entered as a pinch hitter and laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt to advance the runners. One out later, sophomore Cade Climie kept the inning alive with a four-pitch walk, and freshman Caden Ferraro took a strike before laying off four straight pitches to bring home the tying run. McGinnis then walked to put the Bucs on top and sophomore Brandon Bishop drew a free pass to give Blinn a two-run cushion.
"We have some power hitters in our lineup, but we have to know our role in that moment and see some pitches when the opposing pitcher is struggling to throw strikes," said Ferraro, who hit a solo home run in the second. "I was up there with a 3-1 count and obviously I wanted to take a hack and get that big hit, but you really have to understand that it's a team game and you're playing for the team right there."
Blinn finished with 17 hits and drew 14 walks.
Climie hit a three-run homer in the second before Ferraro followed with his longball. It was the second back-to-back homer sequence for the Bucs in the World Series.
McGinnis and sophomore Tanner Reaves each finished with a team-high four hits. Climie also doubled as part of a two-hit game and drove in five runs. Reaves, Bishop, and DeFury knocked in three RBIs apiece. Freshman catcher Ethan Gonzalez had two hits and two RBIs, and Ferraro also plated a pair.
Davenport allowed two hits and struck out two while improving to 2-0 in the World Series. Freshman Caden Marcum started for the Bucs and allowed two runs (earned) on one hit and five walks. He struck out three. Sophomores Cody Pfeffer, Tyler Bogusz, and Jake Kolkhorst combined for 5 1/3 frames of relief before Davenport entered with one out in the eighth.

Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Shane Connell (Joe Alberico)A two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning ended the eighth-ranked Blinn College baseball team's undefeated run at the JUCO World Series.
No. 2 Georgia Highlands College walked it off for a 15-14 victory over the Buccaneers in a quarterfinal tilt at Sam Suplizio Field in Grand Junction, Colo.
Blinn (44-17) moves to the losers bracket and into a rematch with Florence-Darlington Technical College scheduled for 3 p.m. (central time) on Thursday. The Bucs defeated Florence-Darlington 17-7 in five innings in a third-round matchup on May 28. The rematch will be broadcast live on ESPN Plus.
Blinn can still win the NJCAA Division I Baseball national championship, and will need three more victories to do it.
Georgia Highlands temporarily redirected the Bucs with its ninth-inning comeback.
"That was just a really good baseball game," Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. "I don't know that anybody wanted to win that game … it seemed like both teams had opportunities to make plays, to make pitches, but unfortunately at the end, Georgia Highlands did and we didn't. You have to play good baseball; that's all there is to it."
Before the start of the game, Hart told his team he expected the ballgame with the Chargers to be a dogfight, and that is exactly what unfolded.
After Georgia Highlands got on the board with a run off Blinn sophomore starting pitcher Shane Connell in the bottom of the first, the Bucs came roaring back in the third frame.
Caden Ferraro (Joe Alberico)Freshman Caden Ferraro hit a three-run home run – his third of the World Series – to give the Bucs the lead, and sophomore Marshall Lipsey's two-run double made it 5-1.
The Chargers answered with three home runs that accounted for seven runs and chased Connell in the fourth inning.
Blinn got back to work with an RBI triple from sophomore Coy DeFury and an RBI single from sophomore Tony Vernars during a two-run fifth. Then in the seventh, Vernars singled in DeFury to tie the game at 8-all.
A Lipsey RBI single, a run-scoring error, and a run-scoring wild pitch put the Bucs ahead 11-8 in the eighth.
The Chargers stormed back with a five-run eighth for a 13-11 edge.
Sophomore Brandon Bishop doubled down the third-base line to drive in the tying runs in the ninth, and later scored on DeFury's sacrifice fly.
Brandon Bishop (Joe Alberico)Blinn's offense finished with 16 hits and drew nine walks. Lipsey and sophomore Connor McGinnis had three hits apiece. Lipsey and Ferraro each finished with three RBIs.
Connell worked three innings and allowed six earned runs on three hits with four walks and three strikeouts. Sophomore Bryson Dudley worked 4 1/3 innings of relief and surrendered seven runs (six earned) on eight hits with two walks and four punchouts.
Sophomore relief pitcher Ben Bosse induced an inning-ending double play in the eighth and faced two hitters in the ninth. He was charged with the loss.
"We have a resilient group. We've played three elimination games so far in this postseason," Hart added. "I expect our guys to put this loss behind us and come out and fight and play hard tomorrow. You win three games, you win a national championship, so what else could you ask for?"

The Stingers responded with a pair of runs in the top of the second to cut the Buccaneer lead to 6-2.

Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Lucas Davenport (Joe Alberico)One final loud out sent the eighth-ranked Blinn College baseball team roaring into the second round of the JUCO World Series.
Lucas Davenport pitched seven gutsy innings, Jake Kolkhorst recorded the final six outs on the mound – including a game-ending flyout deep to right-center field – and the Buccaneer offense did just enough to hold off No. 6 Crowder College 7-6 on Sunday to conclude the opening round of the NJCAA Division I Baseball World Series at Sam Suplizio Field in Grand Junction, Colo.
The Bucs are in the JUCO World Series for a second consecutive season and again opened the 10-team tournament with a victory.
"Just a really good game," Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. "I've known (Crowder head coach) Travis Lallemand for a long time and I consider him a really good friend. Honestly, when I saw the bracket, I didn't want to play them because I knew one of us was going to get beat. But that's baseball and that's the way it shakes out, but they have a heck of a team and I don't imagine they're going anywhere any time soon."
Crowder (seeded fifth) refused to go away all game long, going toe-to-toe with the sixth-seeded Bucs for nine innings of exciting baseball.
The two teams traded runs in the third frame – a solo home run for Bucs sophomore Cade Climie in the top of the inning and an RBI single for the Roughriders in the bottom.
Coy DeFury (Joe Alberico)In the fourth, Blinn (43-16) jumped ahead again when sophomore Coy DeFury tripled to left before coming home on sophomore Tony Vernars' sacrifice fly. Crowder answered in the bottom of the inning on a two-run homer off Davenport for a 3-2 lead, which would be its last of the game.
Davenport (8-2) was effective against a Roughrider offense that averages more than 10 runs per game. Although the tall right-hander said the high altitudes of Colorado dulled the sharpness of his breaking and off-speed pitches, he utilized both effectively while deploying a fastball that consistently registered in the mid-90-miles-per-hour range.
He allowed five earned runs on 11 hits but didn't issue a walk while striking out five. He threw 69 of his season-high 106 pitches for strikes.
"First, I want to thank our hitters for going out and putting up seven runs," Davenport said. "In a normal week, giving up five runs as a pitcher isn't considered great, but when your hitters go out and put up seven, you get praised for it. I'm really thankful for them going out and hitting today. I felt good with my cutter and changeup, and the fastball command got better as the game went along."
Davenport was also helped by a variety of defensive gems, including a sliding stop and putout from sophomore shortstop Tony Vernars, a pair of nifty stops from Climie at third base, and a phenomenal leaping catch at the wall for sophomore left fielder Marshall Lipsey.
The combined pitching and defensive efforts allowed Blinn's middle-inning offensive surge to stand.
A single for sophomore Tanner Reaves opened the fifth inning and chased Roughriders starter Jackson Murry. Relief pitcher Karsen Richard entered and issued back-to-back walks that loaded the bases before throwing a wild pitch which scored Reaves and tied the game 3-3.
A passed ball and another wild pitch hurried two more runs to the plate as the Bucs moved ahead 5-3.
Crowder answered with an RBI single in the fourth.
Cade Climie (Joe Alberico)Climie hit his second homer of the day in the top of the sixth – a moonshot past the scoreboard in right-center field that made it 7-4.
"The altitude may have helped a little bit, but it was just a good day to hit," said Climie, who has a team-high 17 homers this season. "The Bucs bend, but we don't break. Competition doesn't faze us."
Blinn's offense collected 13 hits and drew eight walks.
Climie singled along with his two longballs to finish with three hits, while Reaves had three singles. DeFury singled and doubled as part of a three-hit game, and fell a home run shy of the cycle. Sophomore Connor McGinnis added two hits for Blinn, including a double.
The Roughriders got to Davenport for one more run thanks to a solo homer in the seventh before Kolkhorst came on for the save opportunity. He retired the side in order in the eighth and worked his way out of a jam in the ninth to pick up his fifth save. He allowed an earned run on two hits with two strikeouts.
Jake Kolkhorst (Joe Alberico)Crowder led off the ninth with a double, and after Kolkhorst set down the next two hitters, the Roughriders cut their deficit to one with an RBI single. Crowder then put the tying run on first as Ethan Fender returned to the plate after homering in the seventh. He sent a 3-0 offering deep into right-center, but speedy sophomore center fielder Brandon Bishop raced to the wall to corral it and seal the Blinn victory.
"We knew coming out here that we weren't going to face anything different from what we've faced all year," Hart added. "Between our region and our early-season schedule, we're battle-tested. We're also sophomore-dominant with guys who like those moments to prove that they're the guy."
Up next, the Bucs will face Florence-Darlington Technical College at 7 p.m. tonight (Tuesday).

Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Jesse Parker (Blinn College)The Blinn College District is excited to announce the return of men’s and women’s cross country in conjunction with the hiring of new head coach Jesse Parker.
The Buccaneers will compete in cross country events starting this fall, marking the first time Blinn has fielded a team in the sport since 1995.
“We are extremely excited and proud to reintroduce men’s and women’s cross country to Blinn College,” athletic director Scott Schumacher said. “We are equally ecstatic about the addition of Jesse Parker, a terrific and well-respected coach with more than 20 years of experience coaching at the NCAA Division I level.”
Blinn was a cross country powerhouse during its run in the 1990s, which included NJCAA national championships in 1993 and 1994.
Parker arrives at Blinn following 20 seasons as head cross country coach and an assistant track and field coach at Division I Sam Houston State University.
The new coach is currently building the team’s first schedule, which will include five meets. He also is working to fill 12 spots on both the men’s and women’s rosters.
Parker said his aim is to recruit quickly while developing a program that serves as a place for runners to learn, develop, and advance.
“I’m excited to bring collegiate cross country to this area,” Parker said. “I know there is a wealth of talent in this area that has either been overlooked or left without a sensible collegiate opportunity. My goal is to create a culture where student-athletes will know what is expected of them in the classroom and on the course, as well as one that allows them to earn their education while striving toward athletic opportunities at the next level.”
During Parker’s time with Sam Houston State, he helped lead the Bearkats track and field squad to 21 conference team championships. In 2017, he coached Jeffrey Moore to Sam Houston State’s first All-American honor by any endurance runner with a 10th-place finish and school-record mark of 1:47.40 for the 800 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Additionally, 2016-2017 saw two of the three Southland Women’s Student-Athlete of the Year honors go to Parker’s athletes.
Parker’s influence on NCAA Track & Field extends beyond Sam Houston State. In 2016-2017, Parker worked alongside Dan Waters, Brett Halter, Ricard Santos, Jeff Bovee, and Amy Horst as part of the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association’s recruiting calendar working group.
During his time at Sam Houston State, Parker served in various roles, most prominently as the recruiting coordinator, home cross country meet director, and team travel coordinator.
Parker graduated from Sam Houston State with a degree in kinesiology in 2005 and earned a master's degree in kinesiology in 2007.

The Blinn Buccaneers won the Region XIV South Division Tournament with an 11-0, five inning run-rule victory over the Galveston Whitecaps last (Sunday) night at Leroy Dreyer Field.
Shane Connell pitched all five innings to get the win. He took a no-hitter into the fifth before it was finally broken up.
Blinn opened up the scoring in the bottom of the first with an RBI single by Cade Climie to take the early 1-0 lead.
The Bucs added to their lead with four runs in the second. Ethan Gonzalez had an RBI single. Tanner Reaves then came up, and ripped a two-run double. Brandon Bishop also brought a run home with a sacrifice fly. Those runs extended the lead to 5-0
Blinn added three more runs in the bottom of the third on an RBI double by Coy DeFury, and RBI singles by Tony Vernars and Reaves. That made it 8-0.
The Bucs added three more in the bottom of the fourth to put the mercy rule into play. Bishop and DeFury had RBI singles, and Reave drew a bases loaded walk. Blinn then went ahead 11-0, which ended up being the final.
The Bucs will now get ready to face the North Division Champion in the Super Regional later this week.
San Jacinto was scheduled to play Navarro in that final, but they got rained out yesterday (Sunday). Their game is now scheduled for today (Monday) at 3pm in Corsicana.
If San Jacinto wins, Blinn will host the Regional. If Navarro wins, they will play at a neutral site.

Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Lucas Davenport (Buccaneersports.com)Lucas Davenport tossed six strong innings, Jake Kolkhorst escaped a bases loaded jam in the ninth, and the No. 9 Blinn College baseball team defeated Galveston College 6-2 to advance to the Region XIV South Regional Tournament championship last (Friday) night at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham.
The Buccaneers (39-14) is now one victory away from its second consecutive Region XIV Super Regional berth, while the Whitecaps dropped into the losers bracket and into an elimination game with Tyler Junior College.
A weather delay and a 12-inning game between Tyler and Panola College earlier in the day delayed the start of Friday night’s tilt by almost three hours, but the long wait did little to slow the Bucs.
Davenport, a freshman, won his fourth consecutive start to improve to 6-2 on the season, containing Galveston on 97 pitches. He allowed one earned run on six hits while allowing three walks with five strikeouts. He also stranded 10 runners on bases.
“You’ll take six innings of one-run ball every single game, and that’s just what Davenport does,” Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. “He got into some trouble tonight, but you would have never known it by looking at him. He’s Steady Eddie out there. When you’re out there on the mound, you have to have the right temperament to execute the right pitch and he’s special when it comes to that.”
Jake Kolkhorst (Buccaneersports.com)Davenport exited with a 6-1 lead as Kolkhorst entered for a save opportunity. The sophomore cruised before hitting some turbulence in the ninth, but ended the Whitecaps’ threat when he induced a ground out to end the game.
“The thing about Jake Kolkhorst is if you’re going to go to him, you might as well plan on him finishing the game,” Hart said. He’s a bulldog; he’s the ultimate competitor who always wants the ball. This was honestly the way we drew it up: Davenport goes deep into the game, and we hand the ball off to Jake. It worked out great for us tonight.”
The Buccaneer offense did its part with nine runs and four walks.
Cade Climie (Buccaneersports.com)Sophomore Marshall Lipsey drew a free pass with the bases loaded in the bottom of the first to open the scoring, and sophomore Cade Climie broke up a 1-1 tie with a two-run double to center field in the fourth.
Lipsey’s RBI single and a two-run base hit off the bat of sophomore Tony Vernars made it 6-1 in the fifth.
“Galveston’s starting pitcher (Jacob Cyr) is really good,” Hart added. “That’s one thing about Galveston that sticks out is their pitching, so we knew they were going to battle. You have to want to be the guy to get big hits in close games, and our guys stepped up today. They all played hard.”
Climie, sophomore Tanner Reaves, and freshman Caden Ferraro had two hits apiece.
Up next, the Bucs away the winner of the Galveston and Tyler, who will face off at 2 p.m. this (Saturday) afternoon. Blinn will have two chances to advance to the Super Regional, needing either a win Saturday or a victory Sunday in a winner-take-all matchup.

Caden Ferraro (Joe Alberico)The Blinn Buccaneer Baseball Team used a 13-run first inning to make quick work of the Panola Ponies yesterday (Thursday) on opening day of the Region XIV South Zone Tournament at Leroy Dreyer Field.
Panola took the early 1-0 lead by scoring a run off Blinn starting pitcher Brendan Sweeney in the top of the first.
However, in the bottom of the inning, it was all Bucs. With a couple of runners aboard, Caden Ferraro slugged a two-run double to give Blinn a 2-1 lead.
Marshall Lipsey (Buccaneersports.com)Marshall Lipsey and Brandon Bishop followed with back-to-back singles to increase the lead to 4-1. Lipsey then scored on a wild pitch, while a Panola error allowed another run to come home, and increase the Buccaneer lead to 6-1.
Tanner Reaves hit a two-run single, and Ferraro added an RBI single as well. Reaves would score on a passed ball, and the Blinn lead climbed to 10-1.
In his second at-bat of the inning, Lipsey hit a two-run double to make it 12-1.
Coy De Fury joined in the hit parade with an RBI single to increase the lead to 13-1.
Brendan Sweeney (Buccaneersports.com)Panola got one more run in the top of the fifth, but Sweeney was able to get the last out, and preserve the win for the Bucs.
In other tournament game last (Thursday) night, Galveston beat Tyler 9-8.
So for today (Friday), Panola will face Tyler at 2pm in an elimination game. Meanwhile, Blinn takes on Galveston at 6pm. The winner goes to the tournament championship tomorrow (Saturday).

Eli Jaeger takes a throw at first to get
a runner out. (Mark Whitehead)The season came to an end for the Burton Panther Baseball Team as they dropped both games of their Area Round Doubleheader to the #9 State Ranked Thorndale Bulldogs 4-0 and 2-0. The games were held at Bombers Stadium in Bryan.
Tyler Witt got the start in game one. The game was scoreless until the top of the third when Thorndale finally broke through. Jayden Clawson singled, stole second, and then scored when Kaden Kovar beat out an infield hit to make it 1-0 Bulldogs.
Burton then fell victim to an overzealous first base umpire. After making multiple questionable calls, when Head Coach Matt Thaler tried to argue, the umpire wound up confining him to coaching from the dugout for the remainder of the game. Assistant Coach Timothy Honeycutt had to shift to coaching third base, and that left Burton with no first base coach.
Thorndale would take advantage of a pair of Burton errors to add three runs in the top of the fifth, and increase their lead to 4-0.
Tyler Witt (Mark Whitehead)Burton almost pushed a run across in the bottom of the sixth. Reuben Rodriguez reached on a two out single. Colby Beck followed with a double. Rodriguez tried to score. On a play at home plate, it appeared that Rodriguez was safe, however, instead of the home plate umpire making the call, the first base umpire came running in and called Rodriguez out. This was in spite of him being on the back side of the play, and could not have possibly seen Rodriguez's hand, or the tag.
Witt would go on to pitch all seven innings, allowing six hits, four runs, only two were earned, walking two, and striking out five.
Offensively, Burton managed just three hits in the game. Thorndale pitcher Jaxon Eschberger finished with 11 strikeouts on his way to a win.
In the second game, Thorndale scored a run on an RBI groundout in the bottom of the first inning.
They added another run on a sacrifice fly in the fourth and that would all they needed to sweep the series.
Eli Jaeger got the start for Burton in Game Two. He went six innings allowing three hits, two earned runs, four walks, and struck out five.
Offensively, Burton had four hits in the game, all singles.
Burton finished the season at 18-10. It was the final games for seniors Colby Beck and Bryson Biggs.

Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Dusty Hart (Joe Alberico)The ninth-ranked Blinn College baseball team has raked in Region XIV South Zone all-conference awards, which were announced Monday by the region.
Two of the top honors among the list of awards again went to Blinn, as head coach Dusty Hart earned his second consecutive Region XIV South Zone Coach of the Year nod, while sophomore infielder Connor McGinnis was tabbed the co-Player of the Year.
The Buccaneers also landed seven players on the first-team all-conference list and one on the second-team. McGinnis; sophomore pitcher Jake Kolkhorst; sophomore third baseman Cade Climie; sophomore outfielder Tanner Reaves; sophomore outfielder Marshall Lipsey; freshman designated hitter Caden Ferraro; and freshman pitcher Lucas Davenport earned first-team nods while sophomore pitcher Bryson Dudley made the second team.
"It's always nice to be recognized for what you've done throughout the year," Hart said. "Being named all-conference means a lot of hard work has paid off for you. It's definitely something these kids will appreciate more and more as they get older."
Hart has led the Buccaneers to a 37-14 overall record and the South regular-season title with a 29-6 mark. The South championship is Blinn's second in a row and gives the team home-field advantage in the Region XIV South Regional Tournament for a second consecutive season.
In his two seasons as coach of the Bucs, Hart owns an impressive 83-29 record.
"If you have a bunch of good players who play well, you're going to win a bunch of ballgames," Hart said. "There is no coach of the year without good players. I need to tell our players and our assistants thank you, to be honest with you, because it's never about one guy – player or coach. It's definitely a team effort, and this is a team award as much if not more than it is a coaching award."
Connor McGinnis (Joe Alberico)McGinnis shared the co-Player of the Year award with San Jacinto College-North catcher Jake Bennett. The award went to a Buccaneer for the second time in as many seasons after Reaves claimed the honor in 2023.
After missing 2023 with an injury, McGinnis – who is committed to the University of Houston – has shined in his final season of junior college ball. The second baseman owns team-highs in batting average and on-base percentage (OBP) at .392 and .571, respectively, to go with the co-team lead in home runs (14). He also has 11 doubles and a pair of triples. McGinnis has driven in 42 runs while scoring a team-best 65.
"This is awesome," McGinnis said. "It feels like it was just yesterday that I wasn't playing ball, so it's just great to be back and playing well again. I'm excited for myself and my teammates … they're all great ballplayers … and I'm even more excited for what's to come for us."
Kolkhorst, a Baylor University commit, is now a two-time first-team all-conference selection after being chosen as a hitter last season. The right-handed relief pitcher is 4-0 with three saves to go with a 37 strikeouts and a 2.08 earned run average in 39 innings pitched.
Climie, who is also committed to Houston, has been one of the Bucs' top hitters, matching McGinnis with 14 home runs to go with a .368 batting clip, a .488 on-base percentage, 16 doubles, two triples, 52 RBIs, and 51 runs scored.
Reaves, a Louisiana State University signee, is hitting .326 this spring with a .449 OBP, 14 doubles, six homers, 37 RBIs, and 47 runs. Reaves also made the all-conference first-team in 2023.
Lipsey is a two-time first-team honoree thanks to another big spring. He currently holds a .324 average and a .484 OBP to go with seven home runs, 37 RBIs, and 10 stolen bases. Lipsey is committed to Florida Atlantic University.
Ferraro has emerged onto the collegiate scene with a .372 batting average and a .489 OBP. The first-year Buc also has 13 doubles and 13 home runs with 62 RBIs and 46 runs.
Davenport has helped anchor Blinn's pitching staff this spring with a 5-2 record in 14 starts. Across 72 2/3 innings of work, he has posted a 3.59 earned run average to go with 60 strikeouts.
Dudley, who is committed to the University of Texas, has posted a 3.60 earned run average in 30 innings on the mound. He has a 4-3 record, four saves in four chances, and 41 strikeouts.
The Bucs begin play in the Region XIV South Regional with a tilt against Panola College at 2 p.m. on Thursday, May 9, at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.

Emily Madeley (Buccaneersports.com)The Blinn College women's golf team powered its way to a second-place finish at the South District Championship on Monday and earned an automatic bid in the upcoming NJCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship tournament.
The Buccaneers placed second among eight teams competing at the Brenham Country Club in Brenham, Texas, firing a combined 48-over par. The nationals appearance will be the second in program history and first since 2021. Tyler Junior College won the South District tournament to also qualify.
Pai Tassaneetipagorn (Buccaneersports.com)"Our players and assistant coach Gary Belt zeroed their focus on the South District tournament, they worked hard, and all of that hard work and preparation paid off big time," Blinn head coach David Johnson said. "As a coaching staff, we could not be more proud of them."
Sophomore Emily Madeley (17-over par) and freshman Rattanavarin "Pai" Tassaneetipagorn (18-over) placed fifth and sixth, respectively, in the individual standings.
"We shot so well on the first day of play, and after that I was confident we were going to make it to nationals," Tassaneetipagorn said. "Sometimes you just have a feeling, and I looked at our players and just knew we were going to get the job done."
Sophomores Natalie Peebles and Kimberly Tiefenbach placed 11th and 18th, respectively, in the 41-golfer competition.
The national tournament takes place May 19-24 at the Duran Country Club in Melbourne, Fla.

Following a breakout freshman campaign with Blinn College women's basketball team, guard Chelsy Singleton has been named the 2023-24 Don Wilhelm Award winner as the Buccaneers' most valuable player.
Coach Jeff Jenkins with Don Wilhelm Award Winner
Chelsy Singleton (Joe Alberico)"I'm just really proud," Singleton said. "I worked hard in the offseason to be prepared for my first year of college ball, and I'm happy the work paid off. I also wouldn't have been successful without my teammates and my coaches helping me to improve throughout the season."
Singleton, who hails from Cypress, Texas, helped the Bucs to a 24-10 overall record, a Region XIV Tournament championship, and a bid in the NJCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship tournament in her lone season of junior college ball. The Northwestern State University (Natchitoches, La.) commit paced Blinn with 13.8 points per game to go with averages of two assists, almost four rebounds, and nearly two steals.
Singleton was also named to the Region XIV All-Conference and All-Region first teams.
"We won 24 games this season and without Chelsy getting us crucial buckets in critical situations, we would not have been nearly as good offensively as we were," Blinn head coach Jeff Jenkins said. "She had a great season as a freshman, and as a reward for that she earned a full scholarship to a Division I school. We're definitely going to miss her next year."
The Wilhelm Award is named after former Blinn College athletic director Don Wilhelm, an NJCAA Hall of Famer and member of the Blinn College Hall of Honor who served the college for 10 years.

(Joe Alberico)The season came to an end for the Blinn College softball team at the Region XIV Tournament on Monday in Houston.
The Buccaneers succumbed to Tyler Junior College 9-7 in consolation play to close out a successful season.
Blinn (34-20-1) had its opportunities against the Apaches, but failed to tack on insurance runs after leaving 11 baserunners stranded.
"We were ahead and then we were down, but we came back to tie the game and eventually grabbed the lead, but too many little things added up," Bucs head coach Rick Church said. "We took ourselves out of some innings because of baserunning mistakes, and we gave Tyler an opening due to some defensive errors. A team like Tyler will capitalize on those mistakes, and they did."
A sacrifice fly from freshman Bailey Boetjer, a steal of home by sophomore Erynne Castillo, and an RBI single off the bat of freshman Kayden Harms had Blinn ahead 3-0 in the top of the third.
The Apaches answered with three runs of their own in the home half of the inning and took a brief lead with a solo tally in the fifth.
The Bucs answered with four runs in the sixth, highlighted by a two-run go-ahead double from Boetjer, but Tyler fought right back with five runs in the bottom of the frame.
Blinn out-hit the Apaches 12-10 behind two-hit ballgames for Castilllo, Harms, sophomore Ripley Welker, and freshman Haley Hughes.
In the pitcher's circle, Peyton Welker was charged with the loss. The sophomore allowed four runs (earned) on six hits with three walks and four strikeouts across 5 2/3 innings. Freshman Bella De Los Santos got one out in the sixth, but was unable to finish the inning before Peyton Welker returned to get the final two outs.
Despite the early postseason exit, Blinn took a substantial step forward this season. The Bucs were in the mix for first place in the Region XIV South Zone through their final regular-season game, and also earned impressive victories over then-fifth-ranked Grayson College and top-ranked McLennan Community College.
"We definitely made some progress as a program and you always like to see that," Church added. "We had some quality wins against some good teams this year, it's just a shame this team couldn't get their payoff by advancing a little further."

The teams, times, and dates are set for the upcoming Region XIV South Regional Tournament.
The ninth-ranked Blinn College baseball team will host the postseason tournament for the second consecutive season when play kicks off this week.
Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for seniors (cash only). Entrance is free for children 12 years old and younger and college students with a student ID.
The Buccaneers (37-14) are the top seed in the four-team, double-elimination competition and will face fourth-seeded Panola College in the first round at 2 p.m. on Thursday, May 9, at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
The tournament's other opening-round matchup will see second-seeded Tyler Junior College battle third-seeded Galveston College at 6 p.m. on Thursday.
Blinn and Galveston are representing the Region XIV South Zone, while Tyler and Panola are out of the North Zone.
Play will continue with a consolation matchup at 2 p.m. on Friday, as well as a winner's bracket semifinal tilt at 6 p.m. The team that remains undefeated will have a chance to capture the regional title in the championship at 6 p.m. on Saturday; however, a loss would set up a winner-take-all ballgame on Sunday (time to be determined).
The champions of the North and South regionals will meet in a best-of-three super regional later this month, with the winner advancing to the NJCAA Division I College Baseball World Series.

The Region XIV Tournament consolation matchup between Blinn College and Tyler Junior College has been moved to 2:30 p.m. on Monday in Houston.
Inclement weather postponed the postseason ballgame, which was originally slated for Sunday.
The Buccaneers (34-19-1) are facing elimination following a 6-2 tournament-opening loss to 10th-ranked Paris Junior College on Saturday.
Blinn will now need to win out to finish as the region tournament's runner-up and qualify for the NJCAA Division I Softball World Series.
Against Paris on Saturday, the Bucs fell into an early 5-0 hole and were unable to climb all the way back.
Run-scoring singles from sophomores Alayna Calvillo and Ripley Welker made it 5-2 in the top of the fifth, but the Dragons got one back in the home half of the frame to cap the offense.
Blinn out-hit Paris 10-7.
Calvillo, sophomore Erynne Castillo, and freshman Grace Bracken had two hits apiece.
In the pitcher's circle, sophomore Peyton Welker absorbed the loss after permitting five earned runs on four hits in three innings. She struck out five and walked two. Freshman Bella De Los Santos worked three innings of relief and gave up an earned run on three hits to go with four punchouts and a pair of walks.

Colby Beck (Jennifer Biggs)The rains on Thursday and Friday forced a change of plans for the Burton Panthers and the Sabine Pass Sharks in their Bi-District series. The new location did not bother Burton at all as they went to the home field of Sabine Pass and came away with a 14-0, five inning run-rule victory.
The Panthers got things going in the top of the first inning. Tyler Witt and Logun Tosta drew back-to-back walks to lead off the game. Colby Beck drove them both home with a two-run single to put Burton up 2-0. Bryson Biggs singled home Beck. Braydon Martin would then hit a fly ball to left field that was dropped by the outfielder, which allowed Biggs to score and give the Panthers a 4-0 lead.
Bryson Biggs (Jennifer Biggs)In the second inning, Witt reached on a one-out single, stole second, and then went to third on an error. Reuben Rodriguez brought him home with an RBI single. He later scored on a passed ball.
Beck walked and came around to score on an RBI single by Martin, which extended the Burton advantage to 7-0.
The Panthers tacked on four more runs in the third inning. Brady Griffin was hit by a pitch, stole second, went to third on a balk, and scored on an error.
Eli Simank walked, stole second, went to third on an error, and scored on a passed ball. Tosta walked, stole second, and then scored on an RBI single by Rodriguez.
Tyler Witt (Jennifer Biggs)Then, Rodriguez came home on an RBI double by Bryson Biggs to make it 11-0.
Burton added three runs in the fourth inning. Witt reached on an error and scored on an RBI single by Tosta. Rodriguez doubled home Tosta, and then Biggs singled home Rodriguez to increase the Panther lead to 14-0.
Witt pitched five scoreless innings to get the win. He allowed only one hit, walked two, and struck out five.

Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Connor McGinnis (Buccaneersports.com)A second consecutive late-game rally over Alvin Community College kept the No. 12 Blinn College baseball team in control of its own destiny in the Region XIV South.
The Buccaneers scored six runs in the top of the seventh inning to rally past the Dolphin 7-5 on Wednesday in Alvin, Texas.
Blinn (35-14, 27-6 Region XIV South) won its fourth consecutive game and second in a row over Alvin to maintain its two-game lead over San Jacinto College-North for first place in the South. A San Jacinto-North loss would have solidified the Bucs as the South champions, but the Ravens earned a 15-5 victory over Coastal Bend on Wednesday.
The Bucs walked off for a win over Alvin on Monday with a two-out, two-run infield single for sophomore Marshall Lipsey.
Blinn and Alvin conclude their four-game set with a noon doubleheader on Friday in Alvin, and one victory for the Bucs would seal their second South championship in as many seasons. The Bucs are also playing for home-field advantage in the Region XIV South Regional tournament.
"It's on us to get the job done," Bucs head coach Dusty Hart said.
Blinn got the job done against the Dolphins despite trailing 4-0 heading into the top of the seventh.
Five straight singles from Lipsey, and sophomores Coy DeFury, Brandon Bishop, Tony Vernars, and Kash Durkin – with the last two hits resulting in RBIs – got Blinn within 4-2. Sophomore Tanner Reaves then drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and sophomore Connor McGinnis tied the game with an RBI single.
Sophomore Cade Climie doubled to plate McGinnis, and freshman Caden Ferraro scored Climie with a single.
"We got the first two runners on in the sixth and then Bishop lays down a beautiful bunt single to load the bags," Hart said. "That pretty much set off a chain reaction and we got going. Hitting is contagious … once one guy hits a barrel, it seems like another guy finds a barrel and then another guy."
In the ninth, McGinnis hit a one-out solo home run – his 14th of the season – to close out the scoring. McGinnis' longball tied him with Climie for the Bucs' team-high.
Cody Pfeffer (Buccaneersports.com)Sophomore pitcher Cody Pfeffer was credited with his third win of the season following three innings of one-run relief. He allowed four hits, one walk, and struck out two. Bryson Dudley worked around a base hit in the ninth and recorded two outs to earn his fourth save.
"Pfeffer gave us three good innings of relief, and Dudley came in to shut the door; that's kind of how you draw it up," Hart added.
Freshman pitcher Caden Marcum started for the Bucs and allowed four earned runs on three hits with a pair of walks and five punchouts in 5 1/3 innings.

Marshall Lipsey (Buccaneersports.com)Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Nobody on the 12th-ranked Blinn College baseball team knew that San Jacinto College-North had already won its ballgame.
Except perhaps Marshall Lipsey.
With two outs and runners on second and third base in the bottom of the ninth inning Monday, the sophomore chopped a soft ground ball to the right side of the infield and displayed what could only be described as superhuman speed in beating out an infield single that sent the Buccaneers to a wild 6-5 victory over Alvin Community College at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
The victory kept the Bucs two games ahead of San Jacinto-North for first place in the Region XIV South with three games remaining in the regular season. San Jacinto-North defeated Coastal Bend College 12-4 and remained in second place.
"We all know what is at stake right now," Lipsey said. "It's in the back of our minds. We know what can happen if the games don't go our way. Every play, every pitch, every at bat matters."
Lipsey came to the plate with Blinn trailing by one in the ninth. After putting the ball into play, the speedster dove head first into first base and collided with the Dolphins' pitcher as he attempted to corral the throw. Lipsey was ruled safe as sophomores Tanner Reaves and Cade Climie raced home as the tying and winning runs.
"When I saw the ball hit the ground, I just booked it," Lipsey said. "Luckily, I hit it slow enough that the second baseman had to charge it, and I just put my head down and ran as quickly as I could. As soon as I collided with the pitcher at the bag, I thought I had a good chance of being safe. I was, and then I saw that Climie had scored from second and it was just really cool to see the pieces all fall together like that."
The Bucs are looking to win the South for a second consecutive season, which would also give them home-field advantage for the Region XIV South Regional tournament for the second time in two years.
The Bucs prevailed on a night that very little seemed to go their way through the first eight frames.
Ryan Williams (Joe Alberico)Blinn rallied out of a 3-0 deficit in the fifth inning thanks to a run-scoring error, a two-run home run from freshman Ryan Williams, and an RBI groundout from Climie, but that lead was short-lived.
The Dolphins answered with a two-run homer of their own in the top of the sixth, and the score remained 5-4 until Lipsey came to the plate in the ninth.
Blinn was hindered by a handful of tough breaks at the plate, as the Bucs put several hard-hit balls into play that resulted in tough-luck outs.
"It was just one of those days," Bucs head coach Dusty Hart said. "It felt like it was going to stay that way until the ninth. It ended up being a pretty wild finish for us and I was proud of our guys for fighting until the very end. Sometimes the ball just bounces your way and until that final moment, the entire game it felt like the opposite was happening. It was great to see it play out the way it did."
Blinn finished with eight hits, including two apiece for Lipsey and sophomore Connor McGinnis.
Ben Bosse (Buccaneersports.com)On the mound, sophomore relief pitcher Ben Bosse earned his second win of the season after he worked 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief. He allowed one hit and one walk.
"Bosse was the difference maker on the mound," Hart said. "He comes in and gets eight huge outs to keep us within a run and really gave us the chance to do what we did in the ninth."
Sophomore starting pitcher Shane Connell lasted five innings and settled for a no-decision. He allowed three runs (one earned) on five hits with two talks and four strikeouts. Sophomore Jake Kolkhorst pitched 1 1/3 innings of relief and was charged with two earned runs.
Blinn and Alvin are set to resume their four-game series on Wednesday, May 1, in Alvin, Texas, but an unfavorable weather forecast could cause a shift in the schedule. Hart said game dates and times are currently considered fluid. Visit www.buccaneersports.com for schedule updates.

Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Peyton Welker (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College softball team's chances of a Region XIV South regular-season championship came to an unfortunate end following a doubleheader split with San Jacinto College-South on Saturday in Houston, Texas.
The Buccaneers earned a 9-6 victory over the Ravens in game one but fell 11-10 in the finale.
Blinn concluded its regular season with a 34-18-1 record and a 17-7 mark in the South but needed two wins over San Jacinto-South to have a shot at first place in the division. The Ravens remained in first with two games remaining, while the Bucs dropped to third. Blinn can still finish as high as second place depending on the results of San Jacinto-South's twin bill with Galveston on April 29. Galveston is currently in second place.
Blinn's finish in the South standings will determine its seeding for the upcoming Region XIV Tournament.
In game one of Saturday's twin bill, the Buccaneers overcame the Ravens' six-run second inning with a big rally of their own to earn the win.
Blinn had a two-run lead heading into the second frame before San Jacinto-South rallied ahead for a 6-2 cushion.
The Bucs jumped back on top for good in the fourth starting with an RBI single from sophomore Alayna Calvillo. After freshman Bailey Boetjer followed Calvillo with a single, sophomore Ripley Welker drove in Calvillo with an RBI base hit of her own. Freshman Darian DeLeon pulled Blinn within one with an RBI single and sophomore Alyssa Boozy then drove in two more runs with a single to give her team the lead.
Freshman Kayden Harms scored on a wild pitch in the sixth and Welker singled in Calvillo to close out the scoring in the seventh.
The Bucs racked up 14 hits, including two apiece for Calvillo, Welker, Boetjer, Boozy, DeLeon, and freshman Haley Hughes.
Sophomore pitcher Peyton Welker (19-6) hurled 5 1/3 innings. She allowed five earned runs on four hits with five walks and one strikeout. Sophomore Camdyn Shugart earned the save after recording the final five outs.
In game two, the Bucs built an 8-3 advantage before the Ravens stormed back with a run in the fifth and six more in the bottom of the sixth. Blinn answered with two runs in the seventh frame to tie the game at 10-all, but San Jacinto-South walked off with the win in the home half of the inning.
The Bucs tallied 12 hits, led by a three-hit, three-RBI showing for Harms. Hughes, Calvillo, and Ripley Welker each had two.
Freshman starting pitcher Paige Bunting and reliever Bella De Los Santos worked a combined 5 2/3 frames and allowed seven earned runs before making way for a returning Peyton Welker with two outs in the sixth. Peyton Welker was charged with the loss after giving up four runs (earned) in an inning of relief.
The Region XIV Tournament will take place on the campus of San Jacinto-South. Dates, times, and pairings have yet to be determined.

Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Lucas Davenport (Joe Alberico)The 14th-ranked Blinn College baseball team is in the driver's seat, and the Buccaneers stepped on the gas Saturday.
Blinn swept Region XIV South adversary Wharton County Junior College 10-3 and 13-11 in a doubleheader at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas, and combined with a San Jacinto College-North loss to Galveston College, seized a two-game lead for first place in the South.
Blinn (33-14 overall, 25-6 South) now leads San Jacinto-North by two games as it looks to host the Region XIV South Regional tournament for a second consecutive season. Both teams have four region ballgames remaining. Should the ballclubs finish the season tied for first place, San Jacinto would take the crown via a head-to-head tiebreaker (4-3).
"One of the goals we set out to achieve at the beginning of the year was to win our conference and host the regional," Bucs head coach Dusty Hart said. "If you can play at home, obviously that gives you your highest percentage of winning the regional. You put yourself in the best situation when you win your conference. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter where we play the regional; the ultimate goal is to get to and win the world series. With that being said, you also want to give yourself the best chance to get there."
Blinn won the South Regional in 2023 and went on to finish fourth at the NJCAA Division I Baseball World Series.
The Bucs' two victories over Wharton County on Saturday gave them a three-game sweep of the Pioneers.
Freshman pitcher Lucas Davenport tossed a seven-inning complete game to begin the doubleheader and improved to 4-2 on the season.
The right-hander allowed two earned runs on eight hits with one walk and seven strikeouts.
"I went out there and worked around a couple of tough breaks, and giving up three runs isn't the worst thing in the world when your offense can go out and put up 10 for you," Davenport said. "Our hitters make pitching easy for our staff. I kept a competitive mentality today and relied on my fastball for strikes and got to the finish line."
Wharton County struck first with a run in the first inning and made it 2-0 in the top of the third. It was all Blinn from there, however, as the Bucs erupted for eight runs in the home half of the third.
Sophomore Cade Climie hit a two-run single to tie the game before freshman Caden Ferraro followed with a go-ahead RBI base hit. Sophomore Brandon Bishop added a two-run double, sophomore Coy DeFury plated Bishop with a single, and sophomore Tanner Reaves made it 8-2 with a sacrifice fly.
The Pioneers tallied one run in the fourth, and DeFury closed out the scoring with a two-run home run in the fifth.
DeFury paced the Bucs with two hits and four RBIs.
"We're playing for each other and putting good swings on the ball," DeFury said. "Our job was to put runs on the board and let Davenport do his thing on the mound."
Game two saw Blinn take control with a six-run fifth frame, but the Pioneers made it a ballgame in the seventh with five runs of their own.
Tanner Reaves (Joe Alberico)A fielding error by Bucs shortstop Tony Vernars opened the doors for Wharton County's rally, but the sophomore redeemed himself at the plate in the eighth.
Vernars sent an 0-2 pitch over the wall in left field for a two-run homer – his first of the season – to give the Bucs some much-needed breathing room.
"I'm sure he was itching to get a chance to make up for the error, and he definitely picked a great time to hit his first homer of the year," Hart said. "I was proud of him because. Instead of sulking about the mistake, he decided to keep his head in the game and showed some toughness in a big spot."
The Bucs finished the game with 16 hits, led by three for Reaves and Vernars. Reaves hit a three-run homer in the fifth. Vernars had a team-high four RBIs. Climie, Ferraro, and sophomores Connor McGinnis and Matt Whitting had two hits apiece.
Sophomore Bryson Dudley earned the pitching victory following 2 1/3 innings of relief. Sophomore Brendan Sweeney started the game and worked four innings before being lifted for Dudley in the fifth. Sophomore Ben Bosse earned a two-inning save.
The Bucs have rescheduled today's (Monday's) game against Alvin. Originally, it was supposed to be played at 1pm in Alvin. However, it will now be played this (Monday) evening at 6pm at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham.

The Burton Lady Panthers got a run-rule victory over the Leon Lady Cougars 14-4 in six innings Saturday afternoon in Navasota.
Bailey Glaesmann (Mark Whitehead)With the win, Burton sweeps the series 2-0, wins Bi-District, and moves on to the Area Round of the playoffs next week against Thrall. Thrall dropped their series opener against Johnson City on Friday, but then came back to sweep them in a doubleheader on Saturday.
Leon got the first run in the top of the first inning to take an early 1-0 lead.
However, it didn't take the Lady Panthers long to respond. Kalli Pohl drew a walk and Amaya Williams singled. That brought Bailey Glaesmann to the plate, and she responded with a three run homer to give Burton a 3-1 lead.

Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Cade Marcum (Joe Alberico)The 14th-ranked Blinn College baseball team knows its chances of claiming the Region XIV South crown rely on two things: Winning ballgames and San Jacinto College-North doing the exact opposite.
The Buccaneers got a double dose of good fortune Thursday.
Blinn pieced together a 3-1 region road win over Wharton County Junior College and regained first place in the South thanks to San Jacinto-North's setback of the same score to Galveston College.
"Yes sir," Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said enthusiastically. "We have to take care of our end of things, but some help on the other side doesn't hurt either."
With six regular-season games remaining, the Bucs are looking to repeat as Region XIV South champions for the first time in program history. They now hold a one-game lead over the Ravens for first place and should they hang on to the top spot, they would host the Region XIV South Regional tournament for a second consecutive year.
Blinn bolstered its chances with a workmanlike effort against Wharton County.
Freshman pitcher Cade Marcum tossed two-hit ball into the sixth inning before sophomore Jake Kolkhorst earned his fourth save after recording the final 11 outs of the game.
"It was another really good outing for Caden," Hart said. "It was tough for the offenses to score today because of the wind blowing in, so he had to minimize walks and keep runners off base and he did a really good job of that."
Marcum walked three Pioneers and fanned seven. He earned his third win in as many starts.
"He's seizing the moment and making the most of his opportunities," Hart added.
Kolkhorst allowed an unearned run on a pair of hits and two walks to go with three punchouts.
Blinn got on the board in the top of the fourth inning after freshman Caden Ferraro led off with a double and scored on a one-out two-bagger from sophomore Brandon Bishop.
Sophomore Cade Climie doubled to open the eighth frame. He advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on an error. Sophomore Marshall Lipsey reached on the defensive miscue, advanced to third on a Bishop single and crossed the plate on an RBI single from sophomore Coy DeFury.
"We bunted, we did some hit and run, and we stole some bases," Hart said. "We showed how capable we are as an offense. Sometimes when you hit a lot of home runs, days like today can be hard on an offense, but you have to be versatile enough to score when the weather isn't conducive to power hitting and we showed today that we can be."
The Pioneers got one run back in the bottom of the eighth on a sacrifice fly.
Of the Bucs' 11 hits, Bishop, DeFury, Ferraro, and sophomores Tanner Reaves and Connor McGinnis each had two.
Blinn and Wharton County conclude their three-game series with a twin bill beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham.

Aerynn Huntsman greeted by her teammates
after a three-run homer. (Mark Whitehead)The Burton Lady Panther Softball Team got their Bi-District series with Leon off to a good start with a 17-5 victory last (Thursday) night in Caldwell.
Reagan Roemer got things started with a lead-off single in the top of the first inning. She would later take second base on a wild pitch, and be bunted over to third by Kalli Pohl. Amaya Williams, then, brought her home with an RBI single to make it 1-0 Burton. Bailey Glaesmann singled as well. That brought Aerynn Huntsman to the plate, and she unloaded a three-run homer over the left field fence to give the Lady Panthers an early 4-0 lead.
Leon got one of the runs back in the bottom of the first to cut the Burton lead to 4-1.
The Lady Panthers picked up where they left off in the second inning by scoring five more runs. Abby Dowling, Roemer, and Pohl started with three singles in a row to load the bases. Glaesmann drew a bases loaded walk, which scored Dowling to make it 5-1. Huntsman grounded into a fielder's choice. Roemer was ruled out at home on a close play. The umpire ruled she was tagged, but Roemer disagreed. However, Pohl came in to score as they threw to the ball to first for a double play attempt. Jennifer Lopez hit a two run double that scored Glaesmann and Huntsman to increase the lead to 8-1. Lopez later scored on an error to give Burton a 9-1 advantage.
Kalli Pohl crossing home plate. (Mark Whitehead)Leon added two runs in the bottom of the third to make it 9-3.
In the top of the fourth, Williams walked and Glaesmann was hit by a pitch. They both later scored on passed balls to give Burton an 11-3 lead.
It would stay that way until the top of the sixth inning. Huntsman led off the inning with a double. Lopez reached on an error. Melanie Wood followed with a two-run single to score them both and put Burton in front 13-3.
However, Leon scored twice in the bottom of the sixth to cut the lead to 13-5, avoid a run-rule, and extend the game one more inning.
The Lady Panthers put an exclamation point on the game with four runs in the top of the seventh. Pohl and Williams drew back-to-back walks. Glaesmann followed with a two run double. Huntsman had an RBI single, and Kelsi Hohlt added another RBI single to put Burton ahead 17-5.
Bailey Glaesmann delivers a pitch. (Mark Whitehead)Glaesmann then shut the Lady Cougars down in the bottom of the 7th to win it.
Glaesmann got the win going all seven innings allowing four hits, five runs, only three were earned, three walks, and striking out 11.
The series continues with Game Two on Saturday at 3pm at Navasota High School. We'll have live coverage on the KWHI.com Sports Alternate feed beginning with the pregame at 2:35pm. Should a third game be necessary, it will be 30 minutes after game two.

The Buccaneers defeated Cisco and McCook to improve to 18-1 overall
Blinn College volleyball padded its No. 12 NJCAA Division I ranking with a pair of victories on day one of the North Central Texas College Invitational on Friday in Gainesville, Texas.
The Buccaneers swept Cisco College, 25-8, 25-13, 25-12, before outlasting McCook Community College in four sets, 22-25, 25-22, 25-23, 25-15.
Blinn has now won 17 consecutive matches and is 18-1 overall.
“I thought the girls played really hard all day,” Buccaneer head coach Terry Gamble said. “We still need to learn how to stay focused in a match because at times we made a lot of unforced, easy errors. With that being said, I thought our ball control and defense was good all day.”
Gamble praised the defensive play of freshman liberos Kirby Kliafas, Cierra Pesak, and Riley Cox, while also giving a nod to freshman right-side hitter Kellen Dorotik and sophomore middle blockers Brooke Pattschull, Taylor Glendening, and Don’Yah Cosie.
In game one, Dorotik added to her team-high kill total with 20 successful attacks against Cisco. Dorotik has 223 kills this season, and entered the tournament ranked third in NJCAA Division I in that category. Sophomore outside hitter Jaedyn Newman added 10 kills, sophomore outside hitter Lexi Higgins chipped in six, and Glendening finished with five. Freshman setter Elizabeth Tyner posted a team-best 26 set assists. At the service line, Tyner and Kliafas each had two aces.
Defensively, Cox, Newman, and Kliafas finished with 13, 12, and 10 digs, respectively. Glendening had one solo block and two assists defending the net, while Cosie, Kliafas, and Tyner had two assists apiece.
In game two, Dorotik and Pattschull paced the Bucs with double-digit kill totals. Dorotik tallied 18 while Pattschull finished with 11. Higgins posted nine kills and Glendening had eight. Freshman setter Chloe Howard made her presence felt with 28 set assists, followed by 16 for Tyner. Kliafas racked up four aces at the service line, while Glendening recorded two.
Another team-centric defensive effort propelled Blinn against McCook, as three players had 10 or more digs. Pesak finished with 17, Kliafas had 12, and sophomore libero/hitter Kaylen Kruse produced 10. Howard and Tyner each had nine.
Blinn concludes the Invitational with matches against North Central Texas and Hill College at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., respectively, on Saturday, Sept. 9, in Gainesville.

The Buccaneers now have a single-season record of 46 goals scored this fall
The Blinn College women’s soccer team earned a Region XIV South victory and made history against Northeast Central Community College on Friday.
The Buccaneers, who hosted the Eagles at Rankin Field inside Hohlt Park in Brenham, Texas, cruised to a 16-1 victory and broke the Blinn women’s soccer program record for goals in a season.
The Bucs (4-2, 1-1 Region XIV South) now have 48 goals on the year, surpassing the previous total of 36 set in 2022. Blinn launched its men’s and women’s soccer teams in 2018.
Though Blinn had a fun night rewriting its record books, second-year head coach Alexandria Jackson, who has been a part of the program since 2019, said the win was the most important statistic of the night.
“It’s always a good day to get a win in conference and to have all the players play,” Blinn head coach Alexandria Jackson said. “We look forward to facing a very tough opponent in Tyler Junior College. Our only two losses have been against ranked opponents, and we want to change that.”
Blinn faces Tyler, ranked second in NJCAA Division I, in a Region XIV tilt at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 9, in Tyler, Texas.
Ahead of that key matchup, the Bucs took care of business against Northeast Central.
Blinn scored seven goals in the first half and nine in the second while outshooting the Eagles 37-1.
Eight different Buccaneers scored in the match, led by a record-setting six goals for freshman forward Aliyah Palmer, who set Blin’s single-game record. Freshman forward Haley Piatak had three goals, sophomore midfielder Brianna Hoffman had two, and sophomores Emeyda Cruz and Emma Orozco along with freshmen Marissa Aparicio, Paola Brizuela Razo, Alexandra Walker, and Alexia Richard each had one.
Freshman goalkeeper Cheiann George earned the victory in 90 minutes played for the Bucs.

The post BLINN WOMEN’S SOCCER SETS PROGRAM SCORING RECORD IN REGION XIV SOUTH WIN OVER NORTHEAST TEXAS first appeared on KWHI.com.
The Buccaneers matched and broke program records during the 5-0 victory
The Blinn College men’s soccer team shut out Northeast Texas Community College in Region XIV South play Friday at Rankin Field inside Hohlt Park in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers’ 5-0 victory was their sixth consecutive win, matching the men’s program record.
“Tonight was a good, disciplined performance and a great result,” Blinn head coach Michael McBride said. “The team worked hard for the clean sheet, and it really was the icing on the cake.”
The Bucs are now 7-1 overall and 1-0 in the South.
“There’s no time to celebrate, though,” McBride added. “because we only have 17 hours until we kick off away at Tyler Junior College.”
Sophomore David Garcia also etched his name in program history with his seventh goal of the season. When the forward from El Paso, Texas, opened the scoring with a header in the 18th minute, he became Blinn men’s soccer’s all-time goal scorer with 23 in two seasons as a Buc. Sophomore forward Joe Loughnane assisted on historic tally with a free kick that went Garcia’s direction. Garcia passed previous record holders Stefan Fevrier-Sildor and Ferit Ha, who each recorded 22 goals during their time at Blinn.
Blinn padded its lead with two more goals in the first half and a pair after the intermission.
Freshman midfielder Diego Ramos scored just seconds into the 22nd minute on a give from freshman midfielder Mathew Williams and freshman defender Philipp Mokwa. The lead grew to 3-0 when Mokwa scored on an assist from sophomore midfielder Joshua Hernandez-Gutierrez in the 29th minute.
After the break, Loughnane found the net in the 70th minute with the help of Ramos and sophomore midfielder Toby Lansdowne. Freshman forward Cesar Duran capped the scoring with an unassisted goal in the 71st minute.
The Bucs outshot the Eagles 20-4 and owned a 4-1 edge in corner kicks.
Defensively, freshman goalkeeper Noah LeMaster made two saves in 90 minutes of play. He earned his seventh victory of the season, making him the second winningest keeper in Blinn men’s soccer history. He trails only Kevin Pena, who recorded 12 victories in two seasons (2021-22). His win total also leads all NJCAA Division I keepers.
Blinn gets right back to work with its region road trip to Tyler. The Apaches are ranked 10th in the nation. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 9, in Tyler, Texas.

Kellen Dorotik (Joe Alberico)Twelfth-ranked Blinn College volleyball ran its winning streak to 13 consecutive matches with a pair of victories on the final day of the Kruse Kickoff Classic on Saturday at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers defeated both North Central Texas College and Central Wyoming College in four sets to finish the Classic with a 4-0 record while improving to 14-1 overall.
"I am really proud of how the team fought through the end of the two matches today when we were not playing our best," Blinn head coach Terry Gamble said. "This was a really tough tournament and I thought the girls played really hard. Kellen Dorotik was incredible offensively, and if we keep continuing to get better, we're going to be a pretty good volleyball team."
Dorotik shined for the Bucs, finishing the day with 39 total kills. She now has 162 on the season, which is third best in NJCAA Division I and just five off the national lead.
The freshman right-side hitter helped the Bucs earn a 25-8, 25-16, 19-25, 25-17 win over North Central to start their day.
Taylor Glendening (Joe Alberico)Sophomore hitters Jaedyn Newman and Kaylen Kruse added eight and seven kills, respectively, to give the Blinn offense a boost. Freshman setter Elizabeth Tyner continued her strong play with 42 set assists against the Lions. At the service line, freshman hitter/libero Kirby Kliafas knocked down four aces, while sophomore middle blocker Taylor Glendening had two and freshman libero Cierra Pesak had one.
On the defensive side, Pesak, Tyner, and Dorotik had 16, 12, and 10 digs, respectively. Tyner and sophomore middle blocker Brooke Pattschull had two solo blocks apiece. Pattschull also had two block assists, as did Dorotik.
The Bucs finished the tournament with a 25-10, 25-12, 18-25, 25-20 triumph over Central Wyoming.
Dorotik's 15 kills paced the Blinn attack, with Newman adding 13 and Kruse and freshman outside hitter Lexi Higgins each chipping in nine. Tyner had 43 set assists, and Newman, Glendening, Pesak, Kliafas, and freshman libero Emma Whitsel had one service ace apiece.
Anchoring the defense for Blinn were Pesak (18 digs), Tyner (13) and Newman (10). Glendening and Tyner had three block assists, while both Pattschull and Dorotik finished with a pair.
Blinn's season continues when it resumes Region XIV play with a matchup at No. 3 Trinity Valley at 6 p.m. tonight (Tuesday) in Athens.

Antonio Martin (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College football team opened 2023 with a bang as it rolled to a 66-0 victory over Gordon Fine Arts & Sports Academy on Saturday at Cub Stadium in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers rolled from start to finish, building a 21-0 lead in the first quarter before cruising to a 1-0 start.
"I like the way our kids carried themselves and stayed in the moment," Blinn head coach Ryan Mahon said. "They played hard every single play and never lost focus."
The Buccaneers scored quickly and efficiently, making the most of prime field position. After forcing Gordon to punt on the game's first offensive series, Blinn took over at the Panthers' 39 yard line. Freshman running back Antonio Martin immediately scampered to the 12 yard line on the Bucs' first play of the game before taking the ball to the end zone on the very next snap with 11:41 showing in the first period.
Gordon botched a punt attempt at the end of its subsequent drive, leaving the Buccaneers with the ball at the Panther 20. Blinn freshman quarterback Khalib Johnson needed just one play to get the Bucs back on the scoreboard as he lofted a pass to sophomore wide receiver Brooks Rigney in the corner of the end zone at the 10:08 mark in the first.
In the final minutes of the opening quarter, Johnson crossed the goal line on an 18-yard keeper as the Blinn lead grew to 21-0.
"I liked what I saw from the offense," Mahon added. "I was also really pleased with the way we played error free football. I think we're very fortunate with our depth that we have a ton of kids who understand what it is that we're trying to do and can go execute."
In the second quarter, the Bucs got right back to work when freshman running back Junior Onipede burst through the Panther defense for a 64-yard rushing touchdown. Freshman kick Max Nowak added a 30-yard field goal just as time expired to send Blinn into halftime with a 31-0 cushion.
Jaylon McClain (Joe Alberico)After the intermission, freshman halfback Jaylon McClain scored on an 8-yard run and freshman quarterback Rylan Wooten juked past a couple of Panther defenders for an 18-yard TD run as the Bucs carried a 45-0 advantage in the fourth quarter.
Blinn finished the scoring on a 14-yard end-around by freshman wide receiver Ian Stelter; and runs of 31 and 11 yards run for freshman running back Damyrion Phillips.
Up next, Blinn begins Southwest Junior College Football Conference play with a road trip to Cisco College. The Bucs battle the Wranglers at 7 p.m. on Saturday in Cisco.

Blinn concludes the Classic with matches against North Central Texas and Central Wyoming on Saturday
No. 12 Blinn College volleyball earned two wins and left head coach Terry Gamble thoroughly impressed on opening day of the Kruse Kickoff Classic on Friday at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers defeated Hill College (23-25, 25-20, 25-20, 25-10) before sweeping Temple College (25-11, 25-18, 25-19) for their 11th consecutive victory. Blinn is now 12-1 overall.
“I thought today was one of our best days as far as being coachable, making adjustments, and responding to those adjustments,” Gamble said. “I think we showed everybody that when we can be coachable just how good we can be. Give our players all of the credit for doing what we’re asking them to do.”
Less than 24 hours after the Bucs had to overcome some unforced errors to earn a Region XIV home win over Coastal Bend College, Gamble said his team showed vast improvement in taking care of the volleyball.
“We cleaned up the errors and protected our side of the court today,” the coach added. “That was really encouraging to see.”
Against Hill, Blinn bounced back from a tough first set to claim the next three.
Three Bucs finished with double-digit kills, led by 13 for freshman right-side hitter Kellen Dorotik. Sophomore outside hitter Jaedyn Newman posted 12 kills and sophomore outside hitter Lexi Higgins tallied 11. Sophomore middle blockers Brooke Pattschull and Taylor Glendening chipped in eight and seven, respectively.
Keeping the Blinn attack in motion was freshman setter Elizabeth Tyner, who dished out 31 set assists. Freshman setter Chloe Howard had 14 assists.

On defense, Pesak had a team-best 15 digs. At the net, Pattschull was a force with five block assists and two solo blocks.
In their second game of the day, the Bucs made quick work of the Temple Leopards. The victory was Blinn’s second win over and sweep of Temple this fall and its 10th sweep of the season overall.
Dorotik had a big game with 16 kills, while Pattschull followed with eight. Newman and Higgins tacked on five apiece. Tyner had another strong showing at the setter position with 40 assists. Pattschull, Pesak, and Tyner each had one service ace.
Defensively, Pesak and Tyner finished with 18 and 12 digs, respectively. Up front, Tyner tallied a pair of solo blocks and one assist, Glendening had one solo and one assist, and both Pattschull and Dorotik had three assists.

The Buccaneers host region foe Northeast Texas Community College on Friday, Sept. 8
The Blinn College women’s soccer team fell to 13th-ranked Navarro College in its Region XIV opener Friday in Corsicana, Texas.
The Bulldogs earned a 3-0 victory to drop Blinn to 3-2 overall (0-1 Region XIV) on the year.
“Fouling in our defensive third and goalkeeping errors cost us this game,” Buccaneers head coach Alexandria Jackson said. "Navarro is a good enough team to capitalize on our mistakes. We will need our freshmen to grow up quickly in order to improve.”
Blinn outshot Navarro 11-6 and had a 4-3 edge in corner kicks, but was unable to convert its chances into goals.
The Bulldogs scored in the 17th, 31st, and 69th minutes.
Up next, Blinn will host Northeast Texas Community College for a region match at 5 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 8, at Rankin Field inside Hohlt Park in Brenham, Texas.

The Buccaneers avenged an Aug. 19 road loss to the Rebels and improved to 5-1 overall
The Blinn College men’s soccer team earned a victory and a bit of revenge with a 6-2 triumph over Hill College on Friday in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers hosted Hill at Rankin Field inside Hohlt Park 13 days removed from a 3-1 road loss to the Rebels. That Aug. 19 setback, Blinn head coach Michael McBride said, came following a poor effort from his club. In its return match against Hill, McBride said the effort was vastly improved.
“The lads put a real shift in this evening,” McBride explained. “There was an intensity, a desire to reverse a poor result from 13 days ago. The lads got after it. They were fired up. They know how poorly we played against Hill the first time and they had a chance to put it right. They did so with bells on and I was really pleased.”
Blinn (5-1 overall) controlled the game from the start by taking a 2-0 lead midway through the first half.
Freshman midfielder Mathew Williams converted his third penalty kick in as many chances in the 12th minute of action, and sophomore forward David Garcia followed with a goal in the 20th minute. Sophomores Alvaro Heredia-Garcia (forward) and Toby Lansdowne (midfielder) assisted Garcia, who is now third all-time in Buccaneer men’s soccer history with 19 career goals. Garcia is three goals away from tying the program record of 22, held by Stefan Fevrier-Sildor and Farit Ha.
Hill cut into the Bucs’ lead with a penalty kick in the 21st minute, but Blinn scored the next four goals to put the game away.
Sophomore midfielder Joshua Hernandez-Gutierrez buried a feed from Garcia and sophomore forward Joe Loughnane in the 40th minute; Loughnane hooked up with sophomore defender Flynn Toon, who found the net in the 54th minute; Loughnane scored on an unassisted free kick in minute 58; and Heredia-Garcia was assisted by freshman forwards Phillip Arceneaux and Pascal Pfeifer in the 68th minute.
The Rebels scored their final goal on a penalty kick in the 73rd minute.
Blinn’s six-goal outburst pushed its season total to 23, which is tied for the NJCAA Division I lead.
Freshman goalkeeper Noah LeMaster was in goal for the Bucs and earned his fifth victory of the season, which is also tops in NJCAA DI. He made four saves and now has 23 on the season.

Brooke Pattschull (Joe Alberico)Blinn College volleyball head coach Terry Gamble is waiting for his team to reach its full potential.
The 12th-ranked Buccaneers are finding ways to get the job done in the meantime.
Despite being slowed at times by unforced errors, Blinn earned a hard-fought 25-15, 25-12, 25-21 victory over Region XIV adversary Coastal Bend College on Thursday at the Kruse Center on the Blinn-Brenham Campus.
The victory was the Bucs' ninth consecutive win and ninth sweep of the year as they moved to 10-1 overall and 2-0 in Region XIV play. The matchup was also Blinn's home opener.
"We're making too many errors right now; that's our biggest detractor and that's been our M.O. so far," he said. "Until we clean that up, we're going to have rough nights. I think we have the potential to be a great team, but we need to clean up the errors. I think our middles are playing really well and I like our offense, but our setters are struggling. Until they figure some things out, we're unable to utilize our hitters the way I think we can."
Freshman right-side hitter Kellen Dorotik said Blinn has seen some slow starts as of late and believes a boost in early-match energy could cure the Bucs' woes.
Kellen Dorotik (Joe Alberico)"We started slower tonight than we'd like, but we picked things up a little bit as the match went along," Dorotik explained. "We just need to keep working on our energy because once we get it to the level we expect it to be, I know this team is going to be really, really good."
Though Blinn is ironing out some wrinkles, it still proved too much for the visiting Cougars.
The Bucs led from the outset in each of the first two sets and trailed just 1-0 in the decisive third set before tying the match and quickly taking a permanent lead.
Sophomore middle blocker Brooke Pattschull paced Blinn with 10 kills, followed by eight for freshman outside hitter Lexi Higgins, seven for Dorotik, and six for sophomore outside hitter Jaedyn Newman. Freshman setters Chloe Howard and Elizabeth Tyner dished out 21 and nine set assists, respectively. At the service line, Blinn picked up five aces, led by a pair for freshman libero/outside hitter Kirby Kliafas.
"Our offense is really good, and it's going to get better," Pattschull said. "Things are almost there for us, and I know we're going to get there."
Freshman libero Cierra Pesak provided stiff defense for Blinn with 15 digs, and freshman hitter/libero Kaylen Kruse chipped in seven. Pattschull and sophomore hitter/blocker Don'Yah Cosie had one solo block apiece.
Up next, the Bucs host the annual Kruse Kickoff Classic at the Kruse Center. The two-day tournament begins Friday and ends Saturday. Blinn will open play in the tournament with a 1 p.m. bout against Temple College followed by a 5 p.m. clash with Hill College. On Saturday, the Bucs take on North Central Texas College at 11 a.m. and Central Wyoming College at 5 p.m.

Blinn College men's soccer history was made Tuesday as the Buccaneers earned the 50th victory in program history.
David GarciaTo reach the milestone, Blinn secured a 3-2 home win over MLS Capital City at Rankin Field inside Hohlt Park in Brenham, Texas.
The Bucs are now 4-1 overall.
Since its launch in the fall of 2018, Blinn has compiled a 50-41-5 record, with fifth-year head coach Michael McBride the owner of a 44-30-5 mark since his arrival in 2019.
The Bucs continued their winning ways against Capital City, racing out to a 3-0 lead before fending off the visitors for their third consecutive win.
"Capital City played very well this evening and helped us identify several areas we need to improve in before Region XIV play begins," McBride said. "We're still looking for a good 90 minutes from the team, and while we've shown flashes of what we can do, we need to be disciplined in our approach for a complete game both individually and collectively."
The first half of Tuesday's tilt was dominated by defense, as more than 40 minutes of play elapsed before either team found the scoreboard.
Blinn' Cesar Duran broke up the stalemate when the freshman forward turned an assist from sophomores Joe Loughnane (forward) and Toby Lansdowne (midfielder) into a goal in the 43rd minute.
Capital City outshot the Bucs 14-9. Blinn had a 4-1 advantage in corner kicks.
Freshman keeper Noah LeMaster earned his fourth win of the season and split time with fellow freshman netminder Josh ffrench-Adam. LeMaster (58 minutes, 14 seconds of play) finished with six saves, while ffrench-Adam had two saves.
The Bucs continue their season with a rematch against Hill College at 7 p.m. on Friday at Rankin Field. Hill defeated the Bucs 3-1 on Aug. 19 in Hillsboro.

Kellen Dorotik (Joe Alberico)Twelfth-ranked Blinn College volleyball opened its Region XIV slate with a four-set victory over Tyler Junior College on Tuesday in Tyler, Texas.
The surging Buccaneers earned an 18-25, 25-22, 25-22, 25-21 victory for their eighth consecutive win of the season. Blinn is now 9-1 overall.
"It was a good road win against a good team," sixth-year head coach Terry Gamble said. "I thought the girls played hard. Kellen Dorotik and Kaylen Kruse played well along with our middle blockers."
Four Bucs sheeted double-digit kills, led by 12 for the freshman right-side hitter Dorotik. Sophomore outside hitter Jaedyn Newman followed with 11 kills and sophomores Brooke Pattschull (middle blocker) and Lexi Higgins (outside hitter) finished with 10 apiece. Freshman setter Chloe Howard distributed 20 assists. At the service line, Kruse – a sophomore libero/outside hitter – served up a pair of aces, as did sophomore middle blocker Taylor Glendening and freshman outside hitter/libero Kirby Kliafas.
Kaylen Kruse (Joe Alberico)On defense, freshman libero Cierra Pesak tallied a team-high 20 digs, freshman libero Emma Whitsel added 11, Kliafas chipped in 10, and Kruse finished with nine. Howard added three block assists at the net.
Up next, Blinn will host its first home match of the season when it battles Region XIV foe Coastal Bend College tomorrow (Thursday) at 6 p.m. at the Kruse Center in Brenham.

Blinn dugout (Joe Alberico)An amazing season of Blinn College baseball came to a close in the NJCAA Division I Baseball World Series.
The eighth-ranked and fifth-seeded Buccaneers were eliminated in the tournament semifinal round, falling to Weatherford College 12-2 in five innings on Thursday at Sam Suplizio Field in Grand Junction, Colo.
Blinn ended its run in the tournament with a 2-2 record and closed out its season at 46-15 overall.
“I’m always going to remember the grit and heart of the guys on this team,” Buccaneers head coach Dusty Hart said. “I don’t think anybody in the United States of America would have picked us to be here right now, and to be one of the last four teams standing is pretty special and they’re going to remember that. They’re going to hurt for a couple days, but at the end of the day if you would have told them they would win 30 games, they probably would have been happy. What I’m most proud of is that we believed the entire season that we were supposed to be here.”
Bryson Dudley (Joe Alberico)After advancing into the semifinal round by virtue of a shutout win over Gaston College on Wednesday, Blinn ran into a familiar foe in Weatherford. The Coyotes, of Weatherford, Texas, took two of three ballgames from the Bucs during both teams’ season-opening series in January, and looked the part of a championship contender with a big day against Blinn.
Weatherford (53-10) got to Blinn starting pitcher Bryson Dudley for four runs in the bottom of the first inning and tacked on two more in the third.
The Buccaneers would get on the board in the top of the fourth when freshman Coy DeFury singled in sophomores Ryan Scott and Ian Collier, but that was all Blinn would muster against Weatherford hurler Ryne Rodriguez.
Blinn tallied four hits.
Dudley was charged with six runs (five earned) on six hits with two walks and six strikeouts in 2 1/3 innings of work.
The Coyotes closed it out in the fifth with six runs, including a three-run homer run to force the run rule.
Though Blinn fell short of its first national championship, its accomplishments this spring were many.
In Hart’s first season at the helm, the Buccaneers tallied 46 victories, its most since a 40-win campaign in 2009. Blinn also won the Region XIV South Zone for the first time since 2001 and made its first World Series appearance since 2014.
“This is a pretty special group,” added Hart. “It was about more than just baseball. I don’t know that we were the most talented team in the world, but this group just battled and fought. I’m super proud of them and I love every single one of them. They believed all year that they belonged, and they helped me create the foundation for the future of Blinn baseball.”

Kaden Dydalewicz (Joe Alberico) The Buccaneers (45-14) slip into the losers bracket of the double-elimination tournament, where they will need to win up to three ballgames to bring home a national championship. Blinn will take on 10th-ranked and sixth-seeded Gaston College in a first-round rematch at 2 p.m. (3pm Brenham time) today (Wednesday) at Sam Suplizio Field. The Bucs defeated Gaston 9-3 last Sunday.
Tuesday’s setback brought to an end Blinn’s 11-game winning streak and put the Bucs on the brink of elimination in their first World Series appearance since 2014.
“Wabash is a really good baseball team,” first-year Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. “They beat us in pretty much every phase of the game … offense, defense, pitching, baserunning. There was a lack of execution on our end all the way around.”
Tanner Reaves (Joe Alberico)The night started off promising for Blinn after freshman Tanner Reaves blasted a two-out solo home run in the top of the first inning – his 19th of the season – to open the scoring.
The Warriors would answer immediately in the home half of the frame with four runs off Buccaneer starter and hard-throwing freshman Kaden Dydalewicz.
After a scoreless second inning for both teams, Blinn tied the game in the top of the third. One-out singles from freshmen Marshall Lipsey and Brandon Bishop brought Reaves back to the plate, who sent a line-drive RBI double to left field to make it 4-2. Sophomore Ian Collier plated Bishop with an RBI groundout, and Reaves made it a 4-4 contest when he scored on a passed ball.
Wabash Valley erased the tie in the bottom of the third with a two-run home run, and Blinn never came closer than two runs the rest of the way.
“They got us in spots where it was hard to beat them,” Hart said of the Warriors. “We threw two guys with really good stuff and they were able to get to us.”
The Bucs tallied seven hits, led by a three-hit, three-RBI day for Reaves.
Dydalewicz suffered his first loss of the season, falling to 7-1 on the year following 2 1/3 innings of work. He allowed seven runs (earned) on seven hits with two walks and a strikeout. Freshmen relief pitchers Cody Pfeffer, Tyler Bogusz, and Carson McKinney worked the final 3 1/3 frames.
The Warriors tallied six runs in the bottom of the sixth and scored the game-winning run on a defensive error.
The winner of the Blinn-Gaston matchup will face either fifth-ranked and fourth-seeded Weatherford or Wabash Valley at 2 p.m. on Thursday, June 1.
Hart, who previously played and coached in the World Series as a player, assistant coach, and head coach at Grayson College, while also winning the 2008 national championship as head coach of the Vikings, said Blinn’s season will continue if the Buccaneers can show resiliency beginning Wednesday.
“You just have to have heart,” the coach explained. “All that matters is that they show up (Wednesday) and play hard. You have to bounce back – that’s the difference between good and great. Great players have short-term memories and bounce back. You’re going to see what we’re made out of Wednesday.”

Brayden Sprencel (Joe Alberico)The message Blinn College head baseball coach Dusty Hart sent his team heading into their opening contest at the NJCAA Division I Baseball World Series was a simple one.
“Don’t change anything,” Hart recalled of his demand.
The eighth-ranked and fifth-seeded Buccaneers took their first-year skipper’s words to heart Sunday, playing exactly the type of baseball that carried them to the World Series in the first place.
Blinn smashed three home runs, played some small ball with six singles and four walks, and also added a double and a triple while two pitchers combined for nine effective innings on the mound.
The collective effort paved the way to a 9-3 victory over 10th-ranked and sixth-seeded Gaston College in the first round of the national tournament at Sam Suplizio Field in Grand Junction, Colo.
“Any win out here is a big one,” Hart added. “When we play the game the way we know how to and the way it’s meant to be played, wins will come. I was proud of our effort today.”
Sunday’s victory was the Bucs’ first in the World Series since the team’s previous trip to Grand Junction in 2014.
Ian Collier (Joe Alberico)Sophomore catcher Ian Collier got the scoring started for Blinn (45-13) with a solo home run in the bottom of the second inning. Gaston (49-12) would take a 2-1 edge over the Bucs in the third frame after getting to Blinn sophomore pitcher Sam Crain, but the lead was short-lived.
In the home half of the inning, back-to-back walks for freshmen Jake Kolkhorst and Brayden Sprencel got the Bucs going, and one out later, a double steal put the runners at second and third base. Freshman Brandon Bishop followed with an RBI single to tie the game before freshman Tanner Reaves slapped an RBI single of his own. Collier stepped to the plate and singled to load the bases, and sophomore Ryan Scott sent a line-drive double to the wall in right-center field that cleared the bases and gave Blinn a 6-2 lead they would never relinquish.
Ryan Scott (Joe Alberico)“(Gaston starting pitcher Derek Vartanian) started me off with a slider, and then went with a fastball that I swung through,” Scott said. “So, he showed me both pitches, and with two strikes I told myself to be ready for either pitch and be on time to drive one of them. He showed me that slider again, and I saw it as soon as it came out of his hand, and I just put a good swing on it.”
“Pretty big moment right there,” added Hart. “Pretty big moment.”
Freshman Coy DeFury followed with a single that sent Scott to third, and after DeFury was picked off first, he extended the subsequent rundown long enough to let Scott steal home for a 7-2 cushion.
Crain (7-2) followed the Bucs’ offensive eruption with two more scoreless frames to end his day and earn the victory. He allowed the two earned runs on five hits with four walks and 10 strikeouts while throwing 111 pitches.
He got out of a bases loaded jam in the fifth with back-to-back strikeouts following a mound visit from Collier. Crain pumped his fists and shouted in celebration after getting Gaston’s Andrew Muraco to swing at strike three to end the threat.
“It was a big stage,” Crain said. “I felt like most of my pitches were working today, and I really just had to battle once I started getting a little tired. I didn’t want to treat this game differently than any other game I’ve pitched in this season, so I just needed to make my pitches, execute, and trust the guys behind me..
Coy DeFury (Joe Alberico)DeFury added a solo shot in the bottom of the fifth inning and Collier went yard for a second time when he led off the bottom of the seventh with a solo blast to left.
“We’re going to give up some runs, but this is a special offense we have that can come right back and answer in a big way,” Collier stated. “We’re just trying to win every inning. We want to win every pitch, win every inning, and get after our opponent on both sides of the ball, and we want to back each other up whether it’s at the plate or on the mound.”
Collier finished with three hits, three runs, and two RBIs, while DeFury followed with two hits, a walk, a run scored, and an RBI.
Bethel tripled for the Bucs.
Hunter Bond (Joe Alberico)After Crain’s departure, freshman relief pitcher Hunter Bond closed out the victory with four innings of one-run ball. He allowed two hits, one walk, and punched out three Rhinos for his fifth save of the year.
Gaston scored its final home run on a solo homer in the top of the ninth.
Blinn will now have an off day Monday before resuming play in the third round. The Bucs will take on the winner of ninth-seeded Shelton State Community College and third-seeded Wabash Valley College at 8pm tonight (Tuesday).

Riley Edwards (Coleman ISD)Navasota High School will have a new head baseball coach next season.
Coleman High School Head Coach Riley Edwards has been named as the new coach of the Rattlers.
He has six years of head coaching experience. Prior to his four years at Coleman, he spent two years at Dublin High School.
During his time at Coleman, Edward led them to the playoffs in three out of four seasons including going three rounds deep in 2022.
Edwards graduated high school from Little River Academy, and went to college at Tarleton State.
"I grew up in the Central Texas area, and it is an honor for me to join the Navasota family," said Coach Edwards. "I am excited to bring a culture of hard work and a commitment to excellence to the Navasota baseball program. Together, we will strive to be ELITE in everything we do on and off the field."

Shortly after their exit from the playoffs, Todd Hatton resigned from his position as the Head Baseball Coach of the Bellville Brahmas.
This past season, under Hatton, the Brahmas finished with a record of 20-10-1. They made the playoffs as the fourth place seed out of District 25-4A, and went three rounds deep.
Bellville beat Columbia 2-1 in the Bi-District Round, then swept Canyon Lake 2-0 in the Area Round, but then lost to Davenport in the Region Quarterfinals.
In his two seasons at Bellville, Hatton was 46-17-2.
Hatton told the Bellville Times that the decision was not an easy one, and that several factors played into it. Hatton said that his mother lives 4 1/2 to 5 hours away, and with his brother passing away, he wanted to move somewhere closer to her.
The failure of the school bonds also factored in, because Hatton has a son that plays sports and is of junior high age.
According to the Times, Assistant Baseball Coach Ty Morgan has been named as the new Head Baseball Coach. Morgan had been an assistant coach for the Brahmas for the past six years.
Hatton endorsed his successor saying that he will a do good job for the program.

The only thing the time change for the Blinn College-Wharton County Junior College baseball game ensured Sunday was that the Buccaneers’ triumphant cheers would be heard late into the night.
Kaden Dydalewicz (Joe Alberico)Freshman pitcher Kaden Dydalewicz tossed seven sparkling innings, and freshmen Coy DeFury and Tanner Reaves homered as 11th-ranked Blinn powered past the Pioneers for a 12-3 victory in the Region XIV South Regional championship at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
“This is what we’ve been working hard for all year,” first-year Buccaneers head coach Dusty Hart said. “You find yourself right at the edge, and we wanted to get this done today. We talked as a team before the game and said, ‘Let’s finish this today.’ We didn’t want to take today off and worry about coming back tomorrow (for a winner-take-all game). I’m proud of our guys for taking care of business.”
Coach Dusty Hart (Joe Alberico)Before it could compete for its first regional title since 2014, top-seeded Blinn (42-13) was forced to wait an additional two hours after rain Sunday morning pushed the start time to the consolation game between third-seeded Wharton and fourth-seeded Bossier Parish Junior College from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. That shift pushed the title game two hours back to 8 p.m.
The delay appeared to slow the Bucs early, but failed to fully restrain an offense that has averaged 8.7 runs per game this spring. After two scoreless frames, DeFury mashed a no-doubt grand slam over the wall in right field for a 4-0 lead.
“It got us off to a good start,” DeFury said. “I was just there for my boys, and it got us rolling pretty well. Our coaches always make sure we’ve got the right guys in the right situations, and we’ve been doing this kind of damage all year because of that. Coach (Wade) Regas always tells us before we take the field that calm, cool, and collected teams have fun and win, so that’s what we’re living by right now.”
Tanner Reaves (Joe Alberico)After the Pioneers tallied a run in the top of the fourth, Reaves, the Region XIV South Zone Player of the Year and Region XIV Offensive Player of the Year, blasted a two-run shot in the home half of the frame to make it 6-1.
Blinn would go on to score in each of the remaining four innings.
That was all Dydalewicz needed, as the hard-throwing right-hander dominated Wharton County on 107 pitches. Dydalewicz (6-0) allowed one run (earned) on four hits with 10 strikeouts and two walks.
“The mindset today was just to go out there and throw strikes, stay focused, and keep my head in the game,” said Dydalewicz. “I knew my team would back me up as always, and it was just fun being out there throwing the ball.”
Reaves paced the Buccaneers’ 14-hit attack with a 3-for-3 day at the plate. He drove in two runs, scored three times, and also drew three walks. Freshman Jake Kolkhorst added three hits, including a double, to go with a walk, an RBI, and one run. Freshman Brandon Bishop chipped two hits, two runs, a walk, and an RBI. Sophomore Ryan Scott singled twice, drove in a run and scored. Sophomore Tate Bethel and freshman Brayden Sprencel also tallied an RBI apiece.
Blinn finished with 13 walks.
“When you have an offense like we have, it takes a lot of stress off my shoulders,” Dydalewicz added. “One through nine, everybody in our lineup can swing the bat, and with the good crowds this weekend it kept everything going. It was just a lot of fun.”
Blane Zeplin (Joe Alberico)Freshman pitcher Blane Zeplin worked a hitless eighth and ninth inning, fanning two and walking one along the way. He punched out the final Pioneer he faced, igniting a spirited celebration from the Buccaneers and the Leroy Dreyer Field fans.
“This tournament is not easy to win,” added Hart. “Wharton gave us everything we could handle and so did Bossier Parish, all of which is preparing us for what’s coming next. This next weekend is going to be another intense battle, and it’s important to be in those big games and those kinds of moments.”
Up next, Blinn will host Region XIV North Regional champion Paris Junior College (38-18) in the Region XIV Super Regional. The Buccaneers earned the right to host the super regional by virtue of their seeding. Paris won the North Regional as the third seed.
Dates and times for the best-of-three series have yet to be announced. The winner of the super regional will move on to the NJCAA Division I Baseball World Series, which begins May 27 at Sam Suplizio Field in Grand Junction, Colorado.

The post BUCCANEER BASEBALL WINS SOUTH REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP first appeared on KWHI.com.
Blinn Head Coach Dusty Hart (Joe Alberico)The 11th-ranked Blinn College baseball team has been honored with four Region XIV All-Region selections, announced Friday following a vote by the region’s 13 head coaches.
First-year Blinn head coach Dusty Hart was named the region’s Coach of the Year, while Buccaneer freshman infielder Tanner Reaves was voted Offensive Player of the Year.
Reaves was also selected to the All-Region first-team. Other selections for Blinn were second-team honorees Ryan Scott (sophomore infielder) and freshmen Brandon Bishop (infield/outfield) and Jake Kolkhorst (outfield/pitcher).
The region accolades were awarded to teams from Region XIV’s North and South Zones.
Hart has led the Buccaneers to a 40-13 record this season, including a 26-9 mark in the Region XIV. Blinn captured its first conference championship since 2001 and is currently hosting the Region XIV South Regional tournament.
“For me, this award is just validation of our players, and one thing that doesn’t get mentioned very often is our assistant coaches; I’ve got a great staff,” Hart said. “At the end of the day, it comes down to the players; if we don’t win there is no coach of the year. I’m writing the names on paper, but the players have to go out and play, and they’ve worked hard for us this season.”
Tanner Reaves (Joe Alberico)Reaves, who was named the South’s Player of the Year earlier this week, has been the Buccaneers’ bona fide offensive leader. His .408 batting average is tops on the team, as are his 87 hits, 19 doubles, 12 home runs, and 64 runs batted in.
“It is truly an honor, and it shows all of the hard work that I’ve put in,” the Louisiana State University commit said. “It feels great to be recognized for that hard work. You always just want to go out there and do the best you can to help your team win. It’s all about being selfless and playing for your teammates, and any success that comes from that approach is great.”
Scott is hitting .352 this season to go with 12 doubles, six homers, 28 RBIs, and 37 runs scored. He’s also drawn 47 walks and sports a team-high .556 on-base percentage. Kolkhorst is second on the Bucs with a .357 average. He has contributed seven doubles, a triple, a home run, 28 RBIs, and 28 runs to the Blinn offense. Bishop is hitting .352 and is second on the team with 52 hits, including 11 doubles, one triple, and four homers. The speedster is second on the team in runs scored with 65, has swiped 16 bases, and has 49 RBIs.

It was a rough night for the Brenham Cubette Softball Team as they dropped Game Two to the Pflugerville Lady Panthers 6-1.
Pflugerville took an early 1-0 lead on an RBI single by Lauren Jackson in the bottom of the first.
The Cubettes tied it 1-1 in the top of the third inning. McKenzie Tiemann led off with a double, and came around to score on an RBI single by Halle Scheel.
The Lady Panthers then scored three runs in the fourth and two more in the fifth to increase their lead to 6-1.
Della Jasinski went 3 1/3 innings giving up two hits, four runs, two of which were earned, walked four, hit three batters, and struck out three. Heidi Busker went 1 2/3 innings giving up two hits, two runs, two earned runs, two walks, hit a batter, and had one strikeout. Kylie Baker pitched one inning giving up one walk and had one strikeout.
Pflugerville pitcher Delilah Robles pitched seven innings, allowed four hits, one earned run, no walks, and struck out 13. The win by the Lady Panthers tied the series at 1-1 and forced a third and deciding game.
Baker got the start for the second game of the double header (third game of the series). The Lady Panthers took an early 2-0 in the top of the first inning after scoring runs on a fielder's choice and a passed ball.
The game was stopped for over an hour due to lightning before finally resuming.
When play resumed in the bottom of the first, Avery Maurer led it off with a double, and Kaylyn Rodriguez followed two batters later with an RBI triple to cut the lead to 2-1.
Pflugerville added another run in the top of the third that scored as the Cubettes were turning a double play.
Play was suspended a second time in the top of the fifth inning due to lightning. The lightning was later joined by heavy rain and hail leading to the game's finish being postponed.
The game will resume Monday at 6:30pm in Pflugerville. You can hear the conclusion of the game on KWHI AM-1280, FM 101.7, and KWHI.com.

The Buccaneers will face Wharton County in Saturday’s semifinal matchup
Blinn College’s reliable offense rallied out of a five-run deficit and the 11th-ranked Buccaneers rode a sturdy effort from their bullpen en route to a 13-8 come-from-behind win over Bossier Parish Community College in the opening round of the Region XIV South Regional tournament Friday in Brenham, Texas.
Blinn (40-13), the tournament’s top seed, faced off against the fourth-seeded Cavaliers for the first time this season in what was the first of two opening round ballgames in the postseason tournament at Leroy Dreyer Field. The Bucs didn’t disappoint, advancing to Saturday’s semifinal round with a multi-faceted team win.
Shane Connell“A win is a win; they’re not all going to be pretty,” first-year Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. “We’ve preached all year that you can’t play to what is on the scoreboard; you just have to keep your head down and keep playing and keep competing … especially at home. We know we can put up runs in this park.”
After Bossier Parish (30-23) opened up a 5-0 lead in the top of the second, Blinn wasted no time answering in its half of the frame. After Freshman Coy DeFury led off with a single and sophomore Tate Bethel doubled, a walk to freshman Brayden Sprencel loaded the bags for freshman power hitter Marshall Lipsey. The hard-hitting outfielder sent a 1-2 pitch high and far over the right-field wall to pull his team within one.
“Our entire attitude this season has been about picking each other up,” Lipsey said. “If someone makes an out or commits an error or gives up a few runs, it’s everyone’s job to have that person’s back. So, I just went up to the plate in a big situation, wanted to show that I had my team’s back and got a pitch I could handle and did some damage with it.”
Marshall Lipsey Home RunThe Bucs would go on to take the lead after walks to Sprencel and Lipsey in the third brought freshman Brandon Bishop to the plate. Bishop promptly blooped a pop fly down the first-base line, which slipped out of the glove of the Cavalier right fielder and allowed both Blinn baserunners to score. Bishop was credited with a double on the play.
Bethel homered in the fourth for a 7-5 Buccaneer lead.
Five more runs crossed the plate for Blinn in the seventh thanks to a Bossier Parish error and a three-run homer for DeFury as the hosts surged ahead 12-5.
Tate Bethel Home RunThe Cavaliers scored three in the eighth but came no closer.
The Bucs finished with 12 hits, including a 4-for-5 showing for Bethel. He fell a triple shy of the cycle and finished with an RBI and three runs scored. DeFury and Bishop each had two hits. Freshman Tanner Reaves doubled.
On the mound, starting pitcher Shane Connell worked 3 1/3 innings before being lifted with one out in the fourth. He was charged with five earned runs on five hits with three walks and a strikeout. Freshman reliever Hunter Bond (3-2) was awarded the victory after tossing 3 2/3 frames. He was charged with all three of the Cavaliers’ runs in the eighth but did enough to help Blinn earn the victory. He allowed two hits, two walks, and punched out four.
“I got my number called and I was out there to do my job. I just wanted to get our hitters back in the dugout to score more runs,” Bond said. “Our bullpen works hard every day in practice so we can be ready for the games, and I know we all have confidence that anyone in our bullpen can come out here and get outs when we’re needed.”
Hunter BondFreshman Tyler Bogusz recorded an out in the eighth before freshman Cody Pfeffer secured the final four outs for his fourth save of the year. Pfeffer allowed a hit, a walk, and fanned two.
Up next, Blinn takes on third-seeded Wharton County Junior College (28-28) in the semifinals at 6 p.m. on Saturday. Wharton County defeated second-seeded Tyler Junior College 7-4 in Friday’s other first-round tilt to advance. Tyler (31-26) and Bossier Parish will face off in the consolation bracket at 2 p.m. on Saturday, as both teams will look to reach Sunday’s championship round.
Blinn has competed in intercollegiate athletics since 1903 and captured 43 NJCAA national championships since 1987. For more information, visit www.buccaneersports.com.

Sarah Mabie (Mark Whitehead)The Brenham Cubettes struck first in their best of three series by beating Pflugerville 3-1 in front of a large crowd at Alumni Field this (Thursday) evening.
The game was scoreless until the top of the third inning when Pflugerville's Ambrosia Palomo led off the inning with a double. Emma Holmes sacrificed her third base. Abby Lemons then laid down a bunt single that scored Palomo to put the Lady Panthers up 1-0.
In the fourth inning, the Cubettes got on the board in a big way. Avery Maurer singled, and stole second. Pflugerville pitcher Delilah Robles gave up back-to-back walks to Kaylyn Rodriguez and Annie Beckendorf. Sarah Mabie then came up big at the plate for the second game in a row. She slammed a three-run double down the left field line that cleared the bases and put Brenham in front 3-1.
That would be all the offense Brenham would need.
Della Jasinski went the distance to pick up her 24th win of the season. She allowed just one earned run on two hits, three walks, and hit a batter, while striking out ten along the way.

Sydnie Cline (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College softball team capped its regular season with a Region XIV South Zone sweep of Lamar State College-Port Arthur in a doubleheader Wednesday in Port Arthur, Texas.
The Buccaneers surged to a 12-4, six-inning win in game one before securing a 12-3 victory in the finale.
“Finishing out the regular season with four wins is huge and it was important to finish out on that note,” Blinn head coach Rick Church said. “Hopefully this will help with our self-belief going into the regional tournament.”
The Buccaneers end the regular season with a 28-20 record and a 14-10 mark in the South Zone. Blinn will now turn its attention to the Region XIV North Regional tournament, where the fourth-seeded Bucs will open play with a first-round tilt against top-seeded Bossier Parish Community College on May 12 in Bossier City, La. A time for the matchup has yet to be announced. Joining Blinn from the South will be second-seeded San Jacinto-College South. Northeast Texas Community College is the North’s second representative and enters as the bracket’s third seed.
Blinn gave itself some extra momentum with two big wins over Port Arthur.
In the opener, the Bucs did most of their damage in the later innings, finishing with a six-run outburst in the top of the sixth frame.
The Seahawks grabbed a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first before Blinn tied things up on an RBI single from freshman Erynne Castillo in the third. Port Arthur took one more lead in the home half of the inning, going ahead 2-1, but a three-run inning for the Bucs in the fourth put the visitors ahead for good.
Haley Rust (Joe Alberico)Freshman Haley Rust smacked an RBI triple to tie the game before freshman Ripley Welker put Blinn ahead with an RBI groundout. Sophomore Michyla Saenz later reached on an error which scored Welker for a 4-2 edge.
The Bucs tacked on two more runs in the fifth on a two-run home run for sophomore Caitlyn Stevens before dowsing the Seahawks with six runs in the sixth.
Blinn pounded out 14 hits, led by a three-hit day for Rust. Stevens shined with two hits and three RBIs, and Welker and sophomores Emily Kristynik and Madeline Stephenson also drove in two runs apiece. Freshmen Alyssa Boozy and Madyson Henley added two hits each.
In the pitcher's circle, freshman Sydnie Cline (4-2) worked five innings of six-hit ball for the win and allowed four runs (three earned) with three walks and two strikeouts. Freshman Peyton Welker tossed a perfect sixth inning with two punchouts to close the game.
Blinn used a five-run first inning to take control from the outset of game two, and finished the sweep with a bang as the Bucs scored six more runs in the seventh.
“We had some big innings today,” Church added. “We’ll take them.”
Emily Kristynik (Joe Alberico)Kristynik clubbed four hits, including a pair of doubles, and drove in three RBIs to pace Blinn. Stevens doubled to go with her three hits and also drove in a run, and freshman Madison Dorrow doubled while driving in a pair.
Castillo, Boozy, and Rust also had one RBI apiece. Rust tripled.
The Bucs tallied 12 hits.
Sophomore Chloee Mason (10-8) earned the victory with six strong innings of work. She allowed two unearned runs on five hits with five strikeouts and two walks. Welker returned to the circle in the seventh and got the final three outs to end the day.

Chloee Mason (Joe Alberico)With the Region XIV South Zone’s fourth seed hanging in the balance, the Blinn College softball team secured its spot in the postseason with a twin bill sweep of Alvin Community College on Monday at Hohlt Park in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers walked off for a 3-2 win in the opener before rallying for a 3-1 triumph in game two to ensure a place in the Region XIV Tournament.
Blinn (26-20 overall) jumped to 12-10 in the South with only a region road twin bill against Lamar State College-Port Arthur remaining in the regular season.
“There was a sense of urgency today,” Buccaneers head coach Rick Church said. “Today came down to helping yourself; we couldn’t rely on any other teams to help us.”
Emily Kristynik (Joe Alberico)Blinn showed a bit of that urgency by taking a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning.
Freshmen Alayna Calvillo, Erynne Castillo, and Alyssa Boozy each singled in the Bucs’ first three at bats of the game, with Boozy’s base hit to center field driving in Calvillo for the lead.
That was all the offense either team would muster until Blinn pushed its cushion to 2-0 on an RBI groundout for Castillo in the fifth. Freshman Ripley Welker scored on the play.
In the top of the sixth, the Dolphins finally broke through against Blinn sophomore pitcher Chloee Mason, tying the game with a pair of runs.
Peyton Welker (Joe Alberico)After freshman Peyton Welker came on in relief to toss 1 1/3 innings of relief for the Bucs, Blinn’s offense sealed the win in the home half of the seventh.
Sophomore Skylar Shanahan started things off when she was struck by a pitch and was lifted for pinch runner and freshman Haley Rust. Ripley Welker bunted for a base hit that moved Rust to second and Calvillo moved both runners with a ground out. After Castillo walked to load the bases, sophomore Emily Kristynik came to the plate one out later and poked a soft dribbler to third base. The Dolphin third baseman opted for a force out at third base but was unable to make the play, allowing Rust to cross the plate for the victory.
“My goal was to put something on the ground,” Kristynik said. “I had a couple at bats before in the game where I put something in the air and Alvin made a play; so with two outs, I wanted to challenge them to make the out.”
Blinn finished with eight hits, led by three for Ripley Welker. Freshman Madison Dorrow had a double.
Peyton Welker earned the win in the circle after allowing two hits and striking out one. Mason finished her day with a no-decision after allowing two earned runs on seven hits with two strikeouts and a walk.
Ripley Welker (Joe Alberico)“Chloee did really well, and it was her last home game here at Blinn, so that really made me want to do well for her,” Peyton Welker said. “I knew my offense would come through, so I was ready.”
In game two, with Peyton Welker back in the pitcher’s circle, Alvin took a 1-0 lead in the second inning before the Bucs rallied for single tallies in the third, fourth, and fifth frames.
Castillo singled in Calvillo in the third; Ripley Welker plated Kristynik with a single in the fourth; and sophomore Caitlyn Stevens’ ground out scored Castillo in the fifth.
Kristynik and Calvillo led Blinn’s eight-hit attack with two knocks apiece. Calvillo and Shanahan each had a double.
Peyton Welker improved to 10-7 on the year with her second win of the day. She worked 6 2/3 innings of five-hit ball while allowing one earned run with five punchouts and three walks.
“Chloee and Peyton both did a really good job of hitting their spots today,” said Kristynik who caught both pitchers behind the plate Monday. “They came out there, knew what their job was, and got it done.”
Sophomore Kailey Eldridge got the final out of the seventh to finish the game.
Blinn will battle Lamar State-Port Arthur in a region twin bill beginning at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, May 3, in Port Arthur, Texas.
“Now that we have our playoff seed locked up, I’m hoping we can loosen up and continue to compete well,” Church added. “Hopefully we can cap conference play off with two wins and have that momentum with us as we get ready to face the top team from the North Zone in the region tournament on May 12.”

Tanner Reaves (Joe Alberico)The 11th-ranked Blinn College baseball team landed 10 players on the Region XIV South Zone all-conference team, announced Monday by the region.
The regular-season accolades, voted upon by the South Zone’s head coaches, include seven first-team selections, three second-team picks, and a Conference Player of the Year award for freshman infielder Tanner Reaves.
“It’s awesome,” said Reaves. “To be able to come in here during coach (Dusty) Hart’s first year and have this many talented guys on one team is unbelievable. These awards are a testament to the hard work we put in every day on the field.”
Reaves is joined by sophomore starting pitcher Sam Crain; freshman relief pitchers Cody Pfeffer and Hunter Bond; freshman infielder Brandon Bishop; freshman outfielder Jake Kolkhorst; and sophomore designated hitter Ryan Scott on the first team.
Sam Crain (Joe Alberico)Second-team selections were freshman starting pitcher Shane Connell; freshman outfielder Marshall Lipsey; and sophomore catcher Ian Collier.
“I don’t want to say it’s surprising, but 10 selections are a lot,” said Hart, who is in his first season as Blinn’s head coach. “You don’t pay attention to your numbers or compare them to other teams throughout the season, you just stay locked in to win baseball games. But today was an opportunity to look up and see how good our numbers really are, and I think 10 selections is a good representation of the season we’ve had so far.”
Blinn (39-13) won the South Zone this spring, its first conference title since 2001, and will host this weekend’s Region XIV South regional tournament beginning at 2 p.m. on Friday, May 5, at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
Cody Pfeffer (Joe Alberico)The Bucs’ success was fueled in part by Reaves’ breakout season. The Bonham, Texas, native arrived at Blinn after the Louisiana State University commit redshirted under Hart at Grayson College in 2022 but made waves with a big collegiate debut.
Reaves is hitting .413 this spring with team highs in hits (86), home runs (12) and runs batted in (64). Reaves also has 18 doubles, three triples, 31 walks, 14 stolen bases, and leads the Bucs with a 1.190 OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage).
“Tanner has always been a huge-upside player,” Hart said. “Even last year, you could see he was so talented. We redshirted him last season and that allowed him to soak it all in. It’s really cool to see kids come into their talent and ability.”
Hunter Bond (Joe Alberico)Crain (Melissa, Texas) is currently 4-2 on the year to go with a 2.48 earned run average (ERA) and 55 strikeouts in 54 1/3 innings of work. The left-handed Grayson transfer is also a Baylor University signee.
Pfeffer, a native of nearby Bellville, Texas, and Bond, from College Station, Texas, have been two of the Bucs’ most reliable relief pitchers this season. In 40 2/3 innings pitched, Pfeffer owns a 5-2 record to go with 55 strikeouts, just 13 walks, and a sparkling 0.68 ERA. Bond boasts a 1.96 ERA in 35 2/3 innings and has fanned 45 hitters with just 14 walks.
Bishop (College Station) is hitting .351 this spring, with his 66 hits second only to Reaves. He has 10 doubles, a triple, four home runs, 47 RBIs, and 63 runs.
Brandon Bishop (Joe Alberico)Kolkhorst (Brenham) started the season on the mound for Blinn but made a mid-season transition to the outfield and flourished at the plate. His .376 batting average was second to Reaves, and he showed some power with seven doubles, a triple, and a home run to go with 28 RBIs in just 93 at bats.
Scott (The Colony, Texas) finished the regular season hitting .356, including a dozen doubles and six home runs. He currently has 28 RBIs with 36 runs scored.
Connell (Klein, Texas) has helped round out the Buccaneer pitching staff this season with a strong collegiate debut. The right-hander is 4-0 overall with a 4.25 ERA to go with 55 punchouts in 54 1/3 innings.
Jake Kolkhorst (Joe Alberico)Lipsey (Longview, Texas) has provided massive punch as Blinn’s leadoff hitter this season, providing a unique mix of speed and power. Lipsey sports a .313 average to go with nine home runs, nine doubles, four triples, and 42 RBIs. His 72 runs and 28 stolen bases lead the team, and he’s also demonstrated strong plate discipline with 50 walks.
Collier (Plano, Texas), a Texas State University commit and Blinn’s regular backstop (281 2/3 innings), is hitting .293 with 12 doubles, five homers, and 55 RBIs (second behind Reaves). Collier’s 57 walks lead Blinn.
Ryan Scott (Joe Alberico)Hart said his program’s haul of accolades should provide his squad with some confidence heading into the region tournament. The top-seeded Buccaneers will battle fourth-seeded Bossier Parish Community College in the first round at 2 p.m. on Friday.
“Confidence is huge in baseball,” said Hart. “To get this validation from the other coaches in the league … all we do as a head coach is turn the stats in, and the other coaches vote on who they think are the best players. This should raise our guys’ confidence and let them know what they’re capable of doing when they’re locked in and play the game the right way.”

Della Jasinski (Mark Whitehead)After winning the second game of their bi-district series on Saturday, the question on everyone's mind was could the Brenham Cubette Softball Team rise up and do it again to the #9 ranked team in the state, Lake Belton? The answer was a resounding yes!
In front of a rowdy, high energy crowd, the Cubettes showed why nobody better underestimate them as they defeated the Lady Broncos 2-0 tonight (Monday), and won the series 2-1.
Della Jasinski delivered another big game performance. She pitched seven shutout innings, allowed only three hits, gave up eight walks (four were intentional), and struck out seven. The seventh strikeout was the biggest, because it sealed the series victory for the Cubettes in the top of the seventh inning.
Sarah Mabie gets congratulated by her teammates
after her 4th inning home run. (Mark Whitehead)The game was actually scoreless until the bottom of the fourth inning when Sarah Mabie led it off with a solo home run to make it 1-0 Brenham. Later that inning, Kinley Antkowiak reached on a single, and stole second base. McKenzie Tiemann followed with an RBI single to right field that scored Antkowiak to make it 2-0. Those would be the only runs that Cubettes needed.
Tiemann had a big night with three hits including two singles, a double, and an RBI. The Cubettes also got a triple from Halle Scheel and a double from Annie Beckendorf.
McKenzie Tiemann (Mark Whitehead)Next up, Brenham moves on to face Pflugerville in the Area Round of the Playoffs. Game One is Thursday night at 6:30pm at Alumni Field in Brenham. Game Two is Friday night at 5pm in Pflugerville. Should a third game be needed, it would be 30 minutes after Game Two.

Dee Winters (TCU)Former Burton Panther Dee Winters is going to the NFL's San Francisco 49ers. Winters, who played his college ball with the TCU Horned Frogs was taken with the 39th pick in Round Six on Saturday.
Winters was a starter during his four seasons in high school under coach Jason Hodde in Burton.
As a Freshman at TCU during the 2019 season, Winters played in 11 games and had two starts for the Horned Frogs. His biggest game came against Purdue in which he was named Athlon Sports Defensive Freshman of the Week.
Winters became a full-time starter for TCU during his sophomore season in 2020. He was second on the team that year with 65 tackles.
During his junior year in 2021, Winters started all 12 games and led the team with 74 tackles. This included a career best 12 tackles in one game against West Virginia.
As a senior this season, Winters was chosen as one of the team captains, and received first team All Big-12 Honors. He has 72 tackles, which is fourth on the team, and 7.5 sacks, which is second on the team. Winters also had a memorable interception return for a touchdown in the Fiesta Bowl against Michigan that helped propel TCU into the National Championship Game.

A pair of come-from-behind victories capped an impressive regular season for the 11th-ranked Blinn College baseball team Friday in a Region XIV South Zone twin bill sweep of Galveston College at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
Blinn was a 4-3 walk-off winner in the opener thanks to a solo home run from freshman Brayden Sprencel and rallied for a 3-2 win in a finale that was shortened to six innings due to incoming rain and lightning.
Brayden Sprencel (Joe Alberico)The Bucs finished the regular season with a 39-13 mark and won the South Zone with a 26-9 mark. Blinn will now represent the South as the top seed in its half of the Region XIV Tournament, which begins Friday, May 5, at Leroy Dreyer Field. Final seedings and first-round matchups for the tournament, which will feature seeds one and three from the South and two and four from the Region XIV North Zone, are still being decided.
“We want to keep good baseball and keep playing hard,” first-year head coach Dusty Hart said. “We were picked to finish second to last in our conference by our region’s coaches at the beginning of the season. There are a lot of people we’ve gotten to prove wrong and we’re looking forward to the opportunity to keep going.”
The Bucs made certain they would have plenty of momentum going into the postseason with a pair of region victories over Galveston.
Marshall Lipsey (Joe Alberico)Blinn freshman Marshall Lipsey opened the inning with a double, took third on freshman Brandon Bishop’s bunt single, and scored when sophomore Ian Collier sent a sacrifice fly to right field.
That was all the Bucs would muster through the first three frames as the Whitecaps got to Blinn sophomore pitcher Sam Crain for three runs.
The Bucs made it a 3-2 ballgame in the fourth thanks to an RBI double from sophomore Kyle Peschel that sent freshman Jake Kolkhorst to the plate.
Lipsey tied the game at three in the sixth with a no-doubt home run over the wall in right field.
Sprencel then stepped to the plate to begin the seventh and sent the third pitch he saw to right field for the win. The homer was the first of Sprencel’s collegiate career.
“In a tie ball game, my job in that spot was to get on base, especially because I have good hitters in the lineup behind me,” Sprencel said. “I just happened to get a pitch I could drive, and I was just glad I could end it there.”
Hart was especially proud of Sprencel, who found more playing time late in the season after primarily serving as a reserve during the early portion of the spring.
“That’s a big moment for Brayden and I’m happy for him,” Hart said. “Not very many people get to do that – a true walk-off home run. It’s pretty special for your first college home run to be a walk-off. I’ve had a lot of good players play for me who never hit a walk-off.”
Blinn stacked up 11 hits, led by two apiece for Sprencel, Lipsey, and sophomore Ryan Scott.
Sprencel’s heroics made a winner out of freshman pitcher Blane Zeplin, who came on in relief to toss 2 1/3 innings of one-hit ball. He fanned three to earn his third victory of the season.
“Every time we go in in a relief spot, our coaches just tell us to execute pitches,” Zeplin said. “That was just my main focus … to get outs and get our team back in the dugout so they can go hit and score runs. I think we have the best offense in the country, so as a pitcher it’s easy to go on the mound and feel comfortable filling up the strike zone because you know you have the bats to back you up.”
Crain took the no-decision following 4 2/3 innings of work. He gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits with nine strikeouts and no walks.
Game two again saw Galveston jump out to an early lead as it scored twice in the top of the first.
Freshman starting pitcher Kaden Dydalweicz put his early struggles in the rearview mirror, however, and put up three straight zeroes to set up Blinn’s three-run rally in the bottom of the fourth.
Sprencel tied the game with a two-run double that scored freshman Kash Durkin and sophomore Cam Wheeler, and one out later, freshman Luke Smith singled in Sprencel for the go-ahead run. Durkin walked and Wheeler doubled before Sprencel’s clutch hit.
“We had some big moments in game two,” Hart said. “I thought we made some big plays and had some big hits from guys who haven’t had as many at bats as other guys. I was happy to see that. We tell our guys all the time to never stay satisfied just being on the bench because your number could be called at any time. One at bat can change the direction of your entire season.”
Blinn finished with five hits.
Dydalweicz earned the win after hurling four innings. He gave up two earned runs on four hits while fanning seven Whitecaps and walking just one. Sophomore Victor Loa tossed one inning of relief before freshman Bryson Dudley got out of a sixth-inning jam to earn his first collegiate save.
Blinn is scheduled to begin the Region XIV Tournament with a 2 p.m. matchup on Friday, May 5.

Jacob Mabie (Mark Whitehead)The 2023 season came to an end for the Brenham Cubs earlier today (Saturday) with a 3-2 eight inning loss to Lake Creek. With the win Lake Creek clinched second place in District 21-5A.
The Lions got on the board in the second inning with a solo homer to make it 1-0 Lake Creek.
Brenham broke through in the fourth inning when Gunner Gee reached on a single. Eric Aschenbeck later brought him home on an RBI double to tie it 1-1.
Senior Pitcher Mason Finke got the start and pitched a gem going 6 1/3 innings allowing just three hits, one run, two walks, and striking out two. He would ultimately get a no-decision.
The game ended up getting rained out on Friday night, and resuming Saturday morning. In the eighth inning, Jacob Mabie walked, and then his courtesy runner Grant Rogas scored on an RBI single by Grant Rogas to put the Cubs up 2-1.
However, with Lane Sparks on in relief, Lake Creek walked it off with a go-ahead two-run double to win it.
The Cubs finish the season at 18-14.

The series opened on Friday night. Della Jasinski and Shelby Schultz were locked in a pitcher's duel. Play was suspended in the middle of the sixth inning after bad weather went through the Caldwell area on Friday night.
The game resumed this morning with Lady Bronco Shortstop Casey Schultz hitting a three run homer off of Jasinski in the top of the seventh inning, which turned out to be the game winner.
Jasinski took the tough luck loss allowing three earned runs over seven innings, five hits, five walks, and struck out twelve.
The Cubette offense managed just three hits, one walk, and struck out 17 times against Schultz.
BRENHAM 3 LAKE BELTON 0
Halle Scheel (Mark Whitehead)The Cubettes came back to shutout Lake Belton with a 3-0 in game two. Avery Maurer reached on a walk. That was followed by Halle Scheel reaching ball that was dropped by the leftfielder, that put runners on the corners. Kaylyn Rodriguez hit and RBI groundout to second base that scored Maurer to make it 1-0 Brenham. Annie Beckendorf beat out a squeeze bunt that allowed Scheel to score to make it 2-0 Cubettes.
Brenham got one more insurance run in the top of the seventh inning. Kaylie Rodriguez drew a one out walk, and Nevaeh Holmes came in to run for her. Stella Landry hit an RBI triple into right field that scored Holmes to make it 3-0.
Jasinski went the distance to get the win. She pitched seven innings allowing three hits and three walks, while striking out five.

After a tough District 21-5A campaign, the Brenham Cubette Softball Team find themselves in the playoffs. Things do not get any easier though as they have to face one of the toughest teams in the state for their Bi-District round opponents, the Lake Belton Lady Broncos.
Della Jasinski (Mark Whitehead)Brenham is 24-11 on the season. They finished 9-5 in district, which was tied for third with Magnolia. However, the Cubettes lost a one game playoff this past Monday, and so they dropped to the number four seed.

Avery Maurer (Mark Whitehead)Offensively, leadoff hitter Avery Maurer has been the sparkplug for the team. The sophomore shortstop leads the team in most categories including a .461 batting average, a .551 on-base percentage, a .931 slugging percentage, six home runs, 59 runs scored, 47 total hits, 14 doubles, eight triples, and 20 walks. Maurer is also third on the team with 30 RBIs, and second in stolen bases with 42.
Junior First Baseman Kaylyn Rodriguez is having a breakout season with a .454 batting average, six doubles, two home runs, 42 RBIs, 37 runs scored, a .513 on-base percentage, and a .598 slugging percentage.
Junior Outfielder Halle Scheel is batting .355 on the season with 26 RBIs, 41 runs scored, three doubles, three triples, a .444 on base percentage, a .439 slugging percentage, and a team leading 54 stolen bases.
Sophomore Outfielder Sarah Mabie is hitting .350 on the season with 12 doubles, two triples, three home runs, 31 RBIs, a .404 on-base percentage, and a .600 slugging percentage.
Junior Third Baseman Annie Beckendorf has a .297 batting average with seven doubles, two triples, two home runs, 18 RBIs, 21 runs scored, a .387 on-base percentage, and a .465 slugging percentage.
Meanwhile, Brenham will face a Lake Belton Lady Broncos team that is one of the top ranked teams in the state. They are ranked #9 in the Texas High School Girls Coaches Association poll and #8 at Maxpreps.com.
Lake Belton is 27-4 overall and finished 14-0 en route to winning the District 22-5A Championship. During that undefeated district run, they outscored their opponents 206-8.
They had finished as runner-ups in the Regional Championship games for the last two years in a row while still at Class 4A. Both times they lost to eventual State Champion Liberty. This is their first year in Class 5A.
The Lady Broncos' leading hitter is junior shortstop Casey Schultz, a Tarleton State commit, who has slugged 19 home runs this season.
Their pitchers are senior Zakayia Frederick, a Texas A&M International commit, and junior Shelby Schultz, who is also a Tarleton State commit. They are averaging giving up less than a run per game.

Emily Kristynik (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College softball team dropped both ends of a Region XIV South Zone twin bill to San Jacinto College-South on Wednesday in Houston, Texas.
The Buccaneers fell 4-2 in game one before stumbling to a 12-4, six-inning setback in the finale.
Blinn is now 24-20 overall and 10-10 in the South, where it remains in fourth place.
In the opener, the Bucs fell behind through the first four innings of play before sophomore Emily Kristynik got her team on the board with a two-run home run.
That was all Blinn could muster behind starting pitcher Peyton Welker, who suffered the loss after working six innings of six-hit ball. She allowed three runs, walked four, and struck out three.
Peyton Walker ( Joe Alberico)Blinn’s offense finished with six hits, led by two for Kristynik.
The Buccaneers started quickly in game two, grabbing a 4-0 edge heading into the bottom of the third frame.
In the top of the first, freshman Alyssa Boozy singled in freshman Erynne Castillo for a 1-0 cushion and freshman Madison Dorrow added a two-run double to make it a 3-0 ballgame. In the third, Kristynik reached on an error that scored Castillo.
Galveston erased its deficit with a seven-run outburst in the home half of the third. The Whitecaps tacked on another run in the fourth, three in the fifth, and one in the sixth to force the run-rule.
The Bucs tallied nine hits, including two apiece for freshman Alayna Calvillo, Boozy, and Dorrow.
Sophomore pitcher Chloee Mason started the game for Blinn but settled for a no-decision. She worked 2 1/3 innings and allowed five earned runs on five hits with a walk.
Freshman Sydnie Cline took the loss after allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits with three walks and one punchout.

Cody Pfeffer (Joe Alberico)The only problem with Galveston College’s seven-run lead over No. 11 Blinn College on Wednesday was the five remaining innings left to play.
After the Buccaneers fell behind 7-0 in the bottom of the fourth frame of a Region XIV South Zone baseball game, their bats got going in the sixth and paved the way for a 9-7, 10-inning victory over the Whitecaps in Galveston, Texas.
Blinn tied the game with four runs in the ninth.
“We’ve said it all season: You’ve got to get all 27 outs,” Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. “Sometimes you have to get 30 outs. The guys didn’t give up and kept grinding, and when you do that, you never know what’s going to happen.”
The victory pushed the first-place Buccaneers – who recently clinched the top seed in the South – to 37-13 overall and 24-9 in the South.
The Bucs finished with 10 hits – all singles – to go with nine walks.
Blinn reached the scoreboard with a single run in the sixth, made possible by an RBI single off the bat of sophomore Tate Bethel which scored sophomore Ian Collier. The Bucs then added two runs in the seventh before staging its four-run rally in the ninth to force extra innings.
Tate Bethel (Joe Alberico)After Freshman Jake Kolkhorst slapped a two-run single to make it 7-5 in the ninth, freshman Tony Vernars singled on a ground ball that sent freshman Kash Durkin and sophomore Ryan Scott to the plate for a 7-7 tie.
In the 10th, Kolkhorst reached on a fielder’s choice that also resulted in an error that allowed Scott to score from second base. Freshman Coy DeFury then singled in Bethel for a two-run advantage.
“We didn’t fight much early in the game,” Hart said. “But we figured out how to get through it, and once we locked in and started playing, it was fun.”
Kolkhorst finished with two hits and three RBIs, and Bethel had two hits and drove in two. Vernars also ended his day with two RBIs.
Blinn’s comeback was also due in part to a shutdown performance from its bullpen.
After freshman Shane Connell left with two outs in the fourth inning, freshman relievers Carson McKinney, Nick Anello, and Cody Pfeffer combined for 6 1/3 scoreless frames.
Pfeffer earned the win after tossing two innings of one-hit ball with three strikeouts and two walks.
“The bullpen is one of the strengths of this ballclub,” said Hart. “The entire season, the job that they’ve done, it’s incredible. Most games at this level are won and lost in the seventh, eighth, and ninth innings. As a pitching staff, you have to have guys who are unselfish and are willing to go out there and do the job in front of them, and these kids have done that.”
Connell settled a no-decision after giving up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits with three walks and a strikeout in 3 2/3 innings of work.
Up next, Blinn will end the regular season with a doubleheader against Galveston beginning at 2 p.m. on Friday, April 28, at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
With the Region XIV South Tournament one week away, Hart said he will push his ballclub to continue to play hard, fundamental baseball with the postseason fast approaching.
“On Friday, we’re going to have the same mindset we’ve had all year, which is just play good baseball,” Hart said. “We want to play hard and play the game the right way, and just play harder than the other team plays.”

Blinn Men's Golf Team (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College men’s golf team finished its season Tuesday with a third consecutive Region XIV Championship during the NJCAA Southwest District Championship at the Bearkat Course on the campus of Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas.
The Buccaneers’ region title was the accumulation of two tournaments and 108 holes of play, starting with the NJCAA Southwest Championship on April 13-14, and this week’s two-day tournament in Huntsville.
Blinn outplayed Tyler Junior College by 13 strokes for the title.
Though the Buccaneers captured the region crown, they failed to finish among the top two teams in the Southwest District and will not appear in the NJCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship. The Buccaneers placed ninth as a team Tuesday.
“I was really proud of our guys today for a three-peat as regional champions,” Blinn head coach David Johnson said. “All six of our guys contributed to our success on the course for 108 holes. Most of these players have been two-year starters for us, and they will be hard to replace.”
Sophomore Cameron Hubbard finished second in the region after finishing 6-over par between the two tournaments. Fellow sophomores Tyler Thomas and Carson Wray placed third and fifth, respectively, in the region.
Though the men’s season has come to a close, the Buccaneers’ women’s golf team is awaiting news on a potential berth in the NJCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship. In the event the Buccaneers do not qualify, sophomore Holly Paterson and freshman Natalie Peebles could punch their individual tickets to the national tournament.

Peyton Welker (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College softball team dropped a Region XIV South Zone doubleheader to Angelina College on Wednesday in Lufkin, Texas.
The Buccaneers fell 10-2 (five innings) and 13-4 (six innings) in the two matchups, and slipped to fourth place in the South Zone behind the Roadrunners. Blinn is now 24-16 overall and 10-8 in the South.
“We came in here today looking to shore up the No. 3 seed, but unfortunately we relinquished it,” Blinn head coach Rick Church said. “It was a very disappointing day.”
In the opener, the Bucs built a 2-0 lead on an RBI single from freshman Alyssa Boozy in the top of the first and a run-scoring single from freshman Ripley Welker in the second. Angelina tied the game with runs in the second and third innings before tacking on eight in the fifth to force the run rule.
Boozy and freshman Alayna Calvillo each had two hits, with Calvillo adding a double to her day.
In the pitcher’s circle, Chloee Mason was the pitcher of record after the sophomore allowed five runs (earned) on eight hits with four walks and three strikeouts.
In game two, Blinn once again jumped out to an early advantage, this time securing a four-run cushion in the top of the first.
Sophomore Caitlyn Stevens smacked a two-run single; sophomore Emily Kristynik scored on an error, and freshman Haley Rust singled in Stevens to make it 4-0.
The Roadrunners got on the board with two runs in the home half of the third and took the lead with a five-run fourth. They added two more in the fifth and scored four times in the sixth to enact the run rule.
Blinn finished with 10 hits, led by a three-hit day for freshman Madison Dorrow. Rust added two hits.
In the circle, freshman Peyton Welker took the loss following 3 2/3 innings of work. She allowed five earned runs on three hits with three free passes and one strikeout.
Up next, the Bucs remain on the road for a non-conference twin bill against Baton Rouge Community College beginning at 1 p.m. on Friday, April 21, in Baton Rouge, La.

Reagan Roemer & Bailey Glaesmann
(Jennifer Glaesmann)While waiting for the playoffs to start, the Burton Lady Panthers kept busy by winning a warmup game last (Tuesday) night against Brazos Christian 11-1.
It was a big night for Bailey Glaesmann, who went six innings allowing one hit, one unearned run, one walk, and striking out twelve batters. One of those batters ended up being her 200th strikeout of the season.
Brazos Christian got on the board with an unearned run in the top of the first inning. After that it was all Burton.
In the bottom of the first inning, Reagan Roemer walked and came around to score on an error. Amaya Williams followed with a double, stole third, and scored on a groundout by Glaesmann. The Lady Panthers led 2-1 after the first inning.
Allie Biggs and Jennifer Lopez led off the bottom of the second inning with back-to-back triples. Kalli Pohl walked to put runners at the corners. Roemer doubled home Lopez, and then Pohl scored on an error. Aerynn Huntsmann singled home Roemer. She later stole second and was singled home by Williams, and Burton led 7-1 after two innings.
In the bottom of the fifth, Katy Whitfield, along with Poehl, and Roemer, all reached base on a walk. Whitfield scored on an RBI single by Huntsman that put the Lady Panthers up 8-1.
Burton would add three more insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth. Williams walked, and Glaesmann followed with an RBI triple. Glaesmann then stole home. Paige Fritsch singled, stole second, and then scored on RBI single by Lopez to make it 11-1 Lady Panthers, and enforce the ten-run mercy rule.

Jake Kolkhorst (Joe Alberico)Jake Kolkhorst tied the game with an RBI single before a run-scoring balk propelled the No. 12 Blinn College baseball team to an improbable 8-7 walk-off victory over Coastal Bend College on Tuesday at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
The Region XIV South Zone triumph pushed the Buccaneers to 34-12 and 21-8 in the South, where they sit atop the standings in first place.
“You can never give up on the Bucs,” said Kolkhorst, whose one-out single in the ninth inning scored sophomore Ryan Scott from second base to tie the game at seven. “We score a lot and we’re never out of a game. I wanted to end the game there in the ninth, but I settled for a single to tie it up and it ended up going our way in the end.”
Tony Vernars (Joe Alberico)Prior to Kolkhorst's single, freshman Tony Vernars was inserted as a pinch runner for freshman Coy DeFury at first base, and Vernars eventually moved to third on Kolkhorst’s hit and a fielder’s choice. Then, with two outs and sophomore Cam Wheeler in the batter’s box, Coastal Bend pitcher Christian Keller was charged with a balk that sent Vernars to the plate and ignited a Blinn celebration on the diamond.
“That’s the beautiful thing about baseball – you have to get all 27 outs,” Buccaneer head coach Dusty Hart said. “A win is a win; they’re not all going to be pretty. It’s sometimes better to see us fight through some adversity and actually come through at the end … that was really good to see.”
Ryan Scott (Joe Alberico)The walk-off win let pitcher Bryson Dudley off the hook after the right-hander gave up a go-ahead three-run homer in the top of the ninth. The freshman was otherwise strong in relief, as he allowed just three hits with five strikeouts and two walks. Freshman Cody Pfeffer was the pitcher of record for Blinn after recording the final out in the ninth.
Sophomore Victor Loa started the game and settled for a no-decision in a five-inning start. The lefty allowed four earned runs on seven hits with six strikeouts and a pair of walks.
Bryson Dudley (Joe Alberico)The Cougars grabbed an early lead with a three-run homer in the second, but the Bucs responded with four runs in the home half of the third. After Coastal Bend knotted the game at four-all in the top of the fourth, the Bucs jumped ahead 6-4 on a pair of bases loaded walks. Sophomore Tate Bethel and Scott drew the free passes.
On the day, Blinn finished with six hits, led by a pair for Kolkhorst, but also drew 12 walks.
“This game was just as important as any game we’ve had all year because of the fight we showed,” Hart added. “We could’ve said, ‘That’s it; we lost,’ following the home run in the ninth, but the guys answered. I’m proud of them.”
Up next, Blinn continues its four-game series with Coastal Bend when the two teams battle it out at 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 20, in Beeville, Texas.

Lane Sparks (Mark Whitehead)With their backs against the wall, the Brenham Cub Baseball Team got back on the winning track with an 8-3 victory over Magnolia last (Tuesday) night.
The game was scoreless until the top of the third inning. Brady Rau singled, Lane Sparks was hit by a pitch, and Drake Bentke walked to load the bases. Gunner Gee then unloaded a Grand Slam to put Brenham ahead 4-0.
It would stay that way until the top of the fifth inning. Sparks singled, stole second, stole third, and then came home on an RBI single by Bentke to make 5-0.
In the top of the sixth, Rylan Wooten, Sparks, and Jacob Mabie drew three straight walks. Bentke brought home Wooten and Sparks with a two run single. Mabie then scored on a wild pitch to make it 8-0 Cubs.
The Bulldogs came up with three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to cut the lead to 8-3, but that would be as close as they would come.
Lane Sparks picked up the win on the mound going 5 1/3 innings, 3 hits, no runs, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts.

Avery Maurer (Mark Whitehead)The Brenham Cubettes dropped a heartbreaker to Magnolia West 5-4 this (Tuesday) evening. Errors, wild pitches, and hit batsmen all figured into the victory for the Lady Mustangs.
Magnolia West scored their first run in the top of the first inning. Hailey Toney reached on a walk, and stole second. Ryleigh Nevarez followed with a single to left that was overrun by Kinley Antkowiak that allowed Toney to come around and score to make it 1-0 Lady Mustangs.
The score would stay that way until the fifth inning. Toney was hit by a pitch and Nevarez was intentionally walked. Jaycee Griffin ran for Nevarez. Alivia Kiser laid down a sacrifice bunt to move the runners up. Toney scored on a wild pitch by Della Jasinski to make it 2-0. Autumn Simmons followed with an RBI double that scored Griffin to make it 3-0 Magnolia West.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Cubettes finally got on the board. Riley Meyer came up as a pinch-hitter and singled to center. Neveah Holmes ran for her. Antkowiak laid down a sacrifice bunt. Holmes stole third and then stole home for the first Brenham run to cut the lead to 3-1.
The Lady Mustangs added two more runs in the top of the seventh when Toney scored on a wild pitch, and and later in the inning, Peyton Crawley was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to increase the lead to 5-1.
The Cubettes had one last chance to rally in the bottom of the seventh. With two outs, Antkowiak doubled, and came home to score on an RBI single by Stella Landry, Liliana Gonzales ran for her. McKenzie Tiemann was hit by a pitch. Avery Maurer then slugged a two-run triple to cut the lead to 5-4. However, Nevarez got Halle Scheel to flyout to center and seal the Magnolia West win.
Della Jasinski took the loss going seven innings, allowing three hits, five runs, four of which were earned, five walks, four hit batters, and 17 strikeouts.
Brenham now moves on to the finale game of the regular season on Friday night where they will travel to College Station for a 6:30pm game.

Chloee Mason (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College softball team rolled to a twin bill sweep of Region XIV South Zone foe Lamar State College-Port Arthur on Monday at Hohlt Park in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers won both games in five innings, earning an 8-0 victory in game one before prevailing 10-1 in the finale.
Blinn improved to 24-14 overall and 10-6 in the South Zone, where the Bucs are owners of third place and the third seed in the region tournament.
“After dropping our last two against Galveston College, it was important to get back on the winning track today, which we did,” Blinn head coach Rick Church said. “Every win in the conference the rest of the way is very important. We just want to solidify our seeding and continue to play better down the stretch.”
In the opener, starting pitcher Chloee Mason improved to 9-5 on the year with a complete-game effort. Just two days after a loss to Galveston, the sophomore allowed a bloop single but nothing else on her way to a one-hitter. She struck out five and walked one.
“We felt it was important for her to get right back in there after her loss to Galveston,” Church said.
Alayna Calvillo (Joe Alberico)The Buccaneers backed Mason right out of the gate, scoring a pair of runs in the bottom of the first frame. After freshman Alayna Calvillo tripled to open the inning, she scored on a wild pitch. A walk to freshman Erynne Castillo, and singles by freshman Alyssa Boozy and sophomore Emily Kristynik set the table for sophomore Caitlyn Stevens, who scored Castillo with a sacrifice fly.
“I like getting runs early because it helps our pitcher feel safe and have some cushion behind her,” Calvillo said. “As an offense, when you leave zeroes on the scoreboard it adds pressure to your pitcher, so it was important we started hot.”
The score would remain 2-0 until the fifth inning, where the Bucs would end the game with a sixth-run outburst. Boozy smacked a two-run single to center field to score freshmen Haley Rust and Ripley Welker for the mercy-rule win.
Blinn racked up 12 hits, including two apiece for Castillo, Boozy, Kristynik, Rust, and sophomore Madeline Stephenson. Along with Boozy, Stephenson and Rust also had two RBIs.
Sydnie Cline (Joe Alberico)In game two, freshman Sydnie Cline (3-2) capped a day of strong pitching with a second consecutive complete game for the Bucs. She allowed an earned run on seven hits with five punch outs and one walk.
Two five-run innings – in the second and the fourth – put the hosts ahead 10-0 before the Seahawks crossed the plate in the fifth.
A bases clearing double by Stephenson made it 3-0 in the second, before a Welker RBI groundout and a Castillo single made it 5-0.
Kristynik’s three-run home run highlighted the scoring in the fifth.
Castillo and Stevenson (two doubles) paced the Bucs with two hits each, while Kristynik and Stephenson both finished with three runs driven in.
Up next, Blinn hits the road for a region twin bill against Angelina College beginning tomorrow 1 p.m., in Lufkin, Texas.

Sam Crain (Joe Alberico)The 10th-ranked Blinn College baseball team completed a series sweep of Wharton County Junior College with a Region XIV South Zone doubleheader sweep Sunday at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
A 9-0 win in game one and an 11-3, seven-inning triumph in the finale pushed the Buccaneers past the Pioneers and increased Blinn’s first-place lead in the South to three games.
“It was a great day to be a Buc,” Buccaneer head coach Dusty Hart said. “When we show up to the field locked in and ready to go, and everybody is buying in and pulling for each other, we can beat anybody in the country – I firmly believe that.”
In sweeping Wharton County, Blinn won three consecutive ballgames and now leads San Jacinto College-North by three games for first place in the South and for home-field advantage throughout the Region XIV Tournament.
“The regular season is coming to an end so we have to kick things into high gear,” sophomore pitcher Sam Crain said. “Every single day you want to win – you don’t want to need other teams to lose, you want to be the ones to take care of business. So, that’s all that matters right now.”
In game one, Crain lived by his words with his best performance of the year.
The talented left-hander faced 22 hitters (one over the minimum) in a seven-inning, complete-game effort. Crain allowed just two hits, struck out nine, and didn’t allow a walk. He allowed a leadoff single in the first frame, but after that baserunner was caught stealing second, Crain proceeded to set down 17 straight batters before allowing a single to begin the seventh. He promptly induced two ground balls and struck out the last hitter he faced to end the game.
“The wind was blowing in, so it was a great day to pitch,” Crain said. “I really just had to pound the zone and let the defense work, and they made some great plays behind me. I just had to set the tone and get our guys back in the dugout so they could go score some runs and not let Wharton get any momentum.”
Added Hart: “That was about as good as you can throw without throwing a no-hitter.”
The Buccaneer offense backed Crain with 11 hits while also drawing eight walks.
Blinn grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the first but pulled away with a six-run second frame. Two more runs in the fourth closed the scoring.
Sophomore Ryan Scott had two hits and scored twice, while freshmen Tanner Reaves and Brayden Sprencel also had a pair of hits each. Freshman Coy DeFury drove in two runs, and Sprencel and freshman Jake Kolkhorst also plated one run apiece. Scott and sophomore Tate Bethel both doubled.
Tate Bethel (Joe Alberico)“Today was not an easy day to hit,” Hart said. “We did a really good job of being unselfish, that’s really what it boiled down to. Our guys were unselfish and stayed in the game.”
In game two, freshman Kaden Dydalewicz gave Blinn another stellar outing. The hard-throwing righty worked 5 2/3 innings of three-hit ball. He allowed three runs (one earned) while punching out six and walking two.
“I thought he threw the ball really well and I was really happy with his effort,” Hart said. “The work he’s put in to get back and help this team says a lot about Kaden as a person and a competitor. He and Crain both have a chance to be that workhorse-type guy, and their re-emergence gives our entire team more depth.”
At the plate the Bucs dug themselves out of a 1-0 deficit in the second inning when Scott singled on a bunt, leading to an error that sent sophomore Ian Collier to the plate. One out later, Sprencel doubled in Bethel and Scott for a 3-1 lead. Freshman Matt Whitting singled in Sprencel to make it 4-1.
Blinn tallied two runs in the third, and after the Pioneers pulled within 6-3 in the sixth, freshman Brandon Bishop kept the Bucs in control with a three-run homer in the home half of the sixth. Blinn added two more runs in the seventh.
Bishop, Kolkhorst, Sprencel, and Whitting each had two hits, while Sprencel matched Bishop with three RBIs. Reaves and Whitting also drove in a run. Bethel, Scott, and Kolkhorst each scored two runs.
“When the wind is blowing in, you have to keep passing the bat down the lineup,” Hart added. “When the guys go out there and give it an honest effort and try to do what you’re asking them to do, it’s what makes you proud as a coach.”
Up next, the Buccaneers begin a four-game series with Coastal Bend College at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, April 18, in Brenham.

Erynne Castillo (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College softball team fell to 13th-ranked Galveston College in both ends of a Region XIV South Zone doubleheader on Saturday at Hohlt Park in Brenham, Texas.
The Whitecaps rallied for a 6-4 victory in game one before closing the day with a 7-2 win.
“It was a pretty disappointing day,” Buccaneers head coach Rick Church said. “You come into today thinking you’ve got a chance where if you split or sweep, you’re back in the mix for a first or second seed in the region tournament. Now we’re looking at hanging on to the third seed.”
A sweep would have pushed Blinn (22-14, 8-6 South Zone) into a first-place tie with the White Caps.
“We let them off the hook in the first game and that carried over into the second game,” Church added. “I’m pretty disappointed in our competitive outcome today.”
Galveston built a 2-0 lead with runs in the first and fourth innings, but the Bucs responded when freshman Ripley Welker singled in sophomore Madeline Stephenson and freshman Haley Rust in the home half of the fourth. Freshman Alyssa Boozy gave Blinn a 3-2 lead with an RBI double in the fifth.
Chloee Mason (Joe Alberico)The Whitecaps went ahead 4-3 in the sixth, but a sacrifice fly off the bat of Buccaneer freshman Erynne Castillo scored fellow freshman Alayna Calvillo tied the game in the home half of the frame.
Galveston would grab the lead for good on a two-run home run in the seventh.
Back-to-back singles from sophomores Emily Kristynik and Caitlyn Stevens had the Bucs threatening with no outs in the bottom of the seventh, but the Whitecaps got three straight outs to end it.
Castillo had three of the Bucs’ 10 total hits, and Calvillo finished with two.
Sophomore pitcher Chloee Mason (8-5) pitched a complete game for Blinn. She allowed five earned runs on 10 hits with four strikeouts and three walks.
In game two, Blinn struck first with a solo homer from Kristynik, but Galveston tied the game in the top of the third and grabbed the lead for good with a solo shot in the fourth. Five runs in the fourth put the game away for the Whitecaps.
The Bucs added a run in the sixth when Stevens scored on an error.
Stephenson had two hits.
Freshman Peyton Welker worked 3 2/3 innings as the pitcher of record. She allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits with three punchouts and a pair of walks. Sophomore Kailey Eldridge tossed the final 3 1/3 innings of play. She allowed one hit, one earned run, fanned two, and walked three.
The Buccaneers return to play with a South Zone twin bill against Lamar State College-Port Arthur beginning at 2p.m. this (Monday) afternoon in Brenham.

Shane Connell (Joe Alberico)Shane Connell earned his fourth win of the season and the Blinn College offense added 14 walks to its NJCAA-leading total as the 10th-ranked Buccaneers routed Wharton County Junior College 8-1 on Thursday in Wharton, Texas.
The Region XIV South Zone victory pushed Blinn to 31-12 overall and 18-8 in the South and increased its lead in the conference to 2 1/2 games.
The win over Wharton County also put a halt to the Bucs’ only losing streak of the season, a two-game slide that came via a doubleheader against San Jacinto College-North on April 10.
“It was a really good win, one that we really needed,” Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said Thursday. “I thought the guys did a really good job of putting the past in the past and moving forward.”
Blinn is eyeing a South Zone title and home field advantage for the Region XIV Tournament, and Thursday’s win moved the Bucs a little closer to that goal.
“They know what we’re playing for; we don’t hide from things or keep things unsaid. We look forward to this challenge,” Hart added. “They’re playing to win this conference.
We talked about wanting to win this conference and we’re not going to run away from that fact.”
If anything, Connell and the Bucs ran directly toward their goal on Thursday.
Connell, a freshman, tossed 6 1/3 innings of four-hit ball and allowed just one earned run to go with five strikeouts and five walks. He also pitched his way out of a couple of bases loaded jams before giving way to relief pitcher Blane Zeplin.
“Shane Connell during the last two weeks has really stepped up,” said Hart. “He went out there on just four days of rest and was maybe the best that he’s been all year. It’s been fun to watch his growth and maturation as a baseball player.”
On offense, Blinn managed just six hits but made them count behind a barrage of free passes. Freshman Brayden Sprencel had two hits, two RBIs and a run, and freshman Tanner Reaves slapped two doubles, drew two walks, drove in a run, and scored twice. Sophomores Ian Collier and Ryan Scott each had an RBI, as did freshmen Jake Kolkhorst and Kash Durkin. Sophomore Tate Bethel drew three walks, and five other Bucs had two walks.
Tanner Reaves (Joe Alberico)The Bucs opened the scoring with three runs in the top of the second and added single tallies in the third and fourth frames. Blinn tacked on two more in the seventh and one more in the eighth.
“We talked about matching Wharton’s energy and execution and playing good baseball,” Hart said. “One thing about these late-season games is that the game never changes. The game doesn’t know if it’s game seven of the World Series or game No. 43 of the junior college season. If you make it more than it is, a lot of times you can’t relax and go play. We just have to keep things in perspective, and we did that tonight.”
Up next, Blinn will host the Pioneers for a series ending twin bill beginning at 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 16, at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.

Chloee Mason (Joe Alberico)Chloee Mason threw a no-hitter in game one and Peyton Welker tossed a complete-game shutout in game two to propel the Blinn College softball team to a Region XIV South Zone sweep of Coastal Bend College on Wednesday in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers swept the doubleheader with a 7-0 triumph and an 8-0, six-inning victory.
The twin bill was Blinn’s first action since Saturday, April 1, a season-long theme for the Bucs as mother nature has wreaked havoc on the team’s schedule. Regardless of another long layoff, however, Blinn (22-12, 8-4 South Zone) came out swinging – and pitching – from start to finish Wednesday.
“Not playing for 11 days and having these long breaks due to weather, you just can’t get into a good, competitive groove,” Blinn head coach Rick Church said. “But I thought we came out today and started getting back on track again.”
Mason (8-4) made sure of that with her first collegiate no-hitter. The sophomore walked two Cougars while striking out six in a 97-pitch effort.
“I couldn’t have done this without my defense having my back,” Mason said. “There were a lot of balls that could have fallen in for a hit, but our defenders made some great plays and got me through it.”
It wasn’t until the fifth inning that Mason said she noticed she was in the midst of a no hitter, adding that she made an immediate decision in the pitcher’s circle.
“I just told myself, ‘Well, I have to keep it that way,’” she stated. “The idea of throwing a no-hitter can put pressure on you if you let it, but you just have to focus on not getting overwhelmed and doing your job.”
Mason’s job was made a bit easier with a brilliant diving catch in center field by freshman Erynne Castillo, as well as a couple of nice snags by sophomore third baseman Caitlyn Stevens on line drives in the top of the seventh.
Emily Kristynik (Joe Alberico)The Bucs also did their part in the batter’s box with 14 hits. Stevens went 4 for 4 and scored a run, sophomore Emily Kristynik doubled as part of a three-hit day, freshman Ripley Welker had two hits, including a double, two runs, and an RBI, and freshman Alayna Calvillo had two singles, an RBI, a run, and a walk. Freshman Alyssa Boozy also doubled and drove in a pair, and freshman Haley Rust had an RBI.
Blinn opened the scoring with one run in the first, then added a pair in the third, one in the fourth, and three in the fifth.
In game two, the Bucs put forth another 14-hit barrage behind a second consecutive pitching gem.
Welker improved to 8-4 with six innings of three-hit ball. She fanned three and walked one.
Peyton Welker (Joe Alberico)Calvillo pushed her season batting average to .485 with a 3-for-4 showing, adding three RBIs and a run. She had two doubles. Sophomore Michyla Saenz, Kristynik, Stevens, Castillo, and Boozy had two hits apiece. Stevens and Boozy doubled. Freshman Madison Dorrow hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the fifth frame and added a sacrifice fly for a three-RBI game. Castillo also had an RBI.
Blinn tallied two runs in the second, posted a pair in the fourth, and followed with three more in the fifth and one in the sixth.
Up next, the Bucs will look to make more headway in the South Zone when they host Galveston College for a region doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 15, at Hohlt Park in Brenham. KWHI will have live coverage of both games beginning with the pregame 12:35pm.
“Hopefully we can keep this going over the next few weeks and get ourselves in a competitive groove,” Church said. “We have a lot of games over the next three weeks, and we just have to keep our focus. I’m looking forward to it and I know our players are, too.”

Blinn Dance National ChampsThe Blinn College cheer and dance trophy shelf just got heavier.
On Friday, April 7, the Buccaneers captured the program’s ninth National Dance Association national championship with a victory in the Pom Open finals at the NCA & NDA Collegiate Cheer and Dance Championship in Daytona Beach, Fla.
“This year was definitely an amazing year,” Blinn head coach Sarah Barland Flisowski. “We train a lot. It’s a different animal when it comes to dance and team dance. The kids did really, really well. I couldn’t ask for a better showing than what our girls did at nationals.”
Blinn finished with a score of 64.18 (70 points max) and finished with an event score of 91.68 to earn the title. Iowa Central Community College placed second with a score of 87.80. Buccaneer dance also finished third in the Team Performance Open finals, falling 2.4 points shy of a second title. Four-year programs University of Texas at Dallas (first place) and Alma College (second place) placed just ahead of Blinn.
“We felt really good after the performance because we knew what we were trying to achieve as a team and how we had to work to achieve it,” freshman dancer Taylor Bearden said. “To have all of your hard work pay off, it was just a great feeling.”
Bearden and 16 other Blinn dancers took the floor for the Bucs, including Bryanna Aguilera, Daphne Cantu, Skylar Cox, Nataly Diaz, Jaia Johnson, Jocelynn Luna, Brianna Mendoza, Alexis Burchfield, Camila Corredor, Raven Guidry, Emily Hernandez, Macie Lindstrom, Devinne Oregon, Kalee Shelton, Jadaya Simien, and Lauren Rodriguez.
Blinn performed its Pom routine just minutes after learning the result of the Team competition, but Shelton, a freshman, said that outcome provided motivation as the team took the floor for its championship performance.
“Knowing everything we’ve overcome as a team to get to that point and win it all was amazing,” said Rodriguez, a freshman. “We found out that we didn’t win the Team Dance title just before we went to get ready for the Pom performance, and I think that lit a fire under us. We told ourselves that we had to put our eggs in a new basket and that’s what we did; we put our entire focus on the Pom performance and look what happened.”
Blinn cheer also had a strong showing in Dayton. The Bucs fell just .9907 points short of a seventh national championship, placing second to Trinity Valley Community College in the Advanced Small Coed Junior College category (97.1018 to Blinn’s 96.1111).
“We are rebuilding Blinn cheer back into what it once was, and this was a major step in that direction,” Barland Flisowski said. “I was thrilled with what we did; we were an eyelash from the title, and I think the only place to go from here is up.”
Barland, herself a former member of the Blinn dance team, now has 15 cheer and dance championships since taking over the programs in 2012. Barland said her teams’ outstanding performances on the season’s biggest stage bode well for what’s to come for the future of Blinn cheer and dance.
“It’s exciting because I know both programs are on the rise and are reestablishing themselves as teams that could win a national title every year,” added Barland Flisowski. “The kids that we have and the kids we will continue to recruit, we know the expectation of being at the top of the podium at the end of the year are going to stay.”

Sam Crain (Joe Alberico)The 10th-ranked Blinn College baseball team dropped both ends of a Region XIV South Zone doubleheader against San Jacinto College-North on Monday at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
San Jacinto won the seven-inning opener 7-1 before fending off the Buccaneers 11-8 in the finale.
Blinn is now 30-12 overall and 17-8 in the South Zone, with a two-game lead for first place in the region.
“Baseball is a sport where bad things happen to you,” Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. “You’re going to get punched in the mouth and knocked down, but you have to be able to pull yourself up off the mat and have a short-term memory. We have a little dog fight on our hands now; it’ll be interesting over the next three weeks.”
Ten of the Bucs’ remaining 11 ballgames are region tilts, adding a bit of excitement to Blinn’s final stretch of the season.
Tate Bethel (Joe Alberico)“The ability to play every pitch like it’s the most important pitch in the world is the biggest separator in baseball,” Hart said. “Hopefully we don’t like feeling like we did today and will be ready to bounce back and play better baseball the rest of the way.”
In game one, the Ravens built a 3-0 lead before Blinn got on the board with an RBI single from freshman Kash Durkin in the home half of the fourth inning.
San Jacinto would tally four more runs in the top of the seventh, however, to pull away.
Sophomore starting pitcher Sam Crain worked through five innings of four-hit ball. He was the pitcher of record after allowing three runs (two earned) with eight strikeouts and three walks. Sophomore Victor Loa was charged with four earned runs in the seventh.
Tanner Reaves (Joe Alberico)At the plate, the Bucs totaled five hits, including a pair for freshman Tanner Reaves.
Blinn fell in game two, but staged a ninth-inning rally that had the hosts within striking distance with no outs.
Trailing 11-4 heading into the bottom of the inning, Reaves smacked a three-run homer and sophomore Tate Bethel drove in sophomore Ian Collier with an RBI single to make it 11-8 with no outs. The Bucs then managed to load the bases, but a strikeout with two outs ended Blinn’s threat.
“I’m proud of the guys for showing some fight in the ninth inning,” added Hart. “ … but when things are going badly, you need somebody to step up and make a play or a pitch or have a really good at bat. San Jacinto did that today and we didn’t. You have to give San Jacinto credit; they made pitches when they needed to make pitches and made plays when they needed to make plays, and we didn’t.”
Blinn finished with 11 hits, led by Reaves’ three-hit, three-RBI effort. He also doubled and scored twice. Freshman Coy DeFury had three hits, and freshman Jake Kolkhorst had a two-run home run as part of a two-hit game.
Kaden Dydalweicz (Joe Alberico)Sophomore Kaden Dydalweicz started the game for the Bucs and settled for a no-decision after lasting 2 1/3 innings. He gave up four runs (earned) on three hits with a strikeout and three walks.
Up next, Blinn begins a three-game South Zone series with Wharton County Junior College at 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 13, in Wharton, Texas. The two teams will then return to Brenham for a twin bill beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 16.

Avery Maurer (Mark Whitehead)The Brenham Cubettes got back on the winning track this (Monday) afternoon with a 12-0 victory over the Rudder Lady Rangers in a game that lasted only five innings due to the mercy rule.
Della Jasinski pitched five shutout innings to get the win. She allowed just two hits and struck out five.
Avery Maurer reached base on a bunt single, and then proceeded to steal second and third. Rudder made an error on a bunt by Kaylyn Rodriguez that allowed Maurer to score the first run of the game. Rodriguez stole second, and then scored on an RBI single by Annie Beckendorf. Beckendorf stole second, and then scored on an RBI single by Sarah Mabie to put the Cubettes up 3-0.
Kaylie Rodriguez hit into a fielder's choice that allowed Mabie to score. Kinley Antkowiak reached on an error that allowed Rodriguez to come all the way around for another Brenham run. Stella Landry singled, and then Nevaeh Holmes was brought in to courtesy run. She would score on an RBI single by McKenzie Tiemann. Those runs put Brenham up 6-0, and the first inning continued.
Della Jasinski (Mark Whitehead)Maurer walked. Halle Scheel followed with an RBI single that scored Tiemann, and then on yet another Rudder error Maurer came into score as well. Kaylyn Rodriguez singled home Scheel later that inning and after half an inning, the Cubettes were already up 9-0.
In the third inning, Landry walked, and Holmes courtesy ran for her again. Tiemann moved her over with a sacrifice bunt. Maurer then brought her home on a sacrifice fly to make it 10-0.
Brenham would get two more runs in the fifth inning. Landry walked, and Holmes ran for her. Holmes stole second and then scored on an RBI single by Maurer. Maurer stole second, stole third, and then came home on an RBI single by Halle Scheel to finish off the scoring at 12-0.

Avery Maurer 2-2 two singles, walk, three runs, and two RBIs

Chante' CrutchfieldA former head coach of the Brenham Cubette Basketball Program can now call herself a National Champion.
Chante' Crutchfield is in her second year with the LSU Lady Tigers as the Assistant Director for Women's Basketball Operations/Recruiting. She is also in charge of preparing the game film and scouting.
During her two years at Brenham, Crutchfield guided the Cubettes to a record of 55-15, the program's first District Championship in nine years, and back-to-back district titles for the first time in 12 seasons.
Those teams produced two District MVPs, one Offensive MVP, two defensive MVPs, one Newcomer of the Year, one Most Improved Player, 14 All-District selections, nine Academic All-District honorees, four All-Brazos Valley, three All-State and three All-Region picks, and Crutchfield also took home District Coach of the Year honors.
Crutchfield remembers her time in Brenham very fondly.
Throughout her coaching career, Crutchfield has recruited and guided many successful women's basketball players, including Teaira McCowan. After graduating at Brenham High School, she went on to play in college basketball for Mississippi State, and currently plays in the WNBA for the Dallas Wings.
Crutchfield told a story about running into McCowan at the National Championships the year that she got drafted into the WNBA. McCowan admitted to being nervous, and Crutchfield gave her one last pep talk.
LSU finished this past season with a 34-2 record. They beat Iowa 102-85 to win the National Championship in Dallas.
The full interview with Coach Crutchfield can be heard on tonight's (Monday's) edition of the Brenham Sportsline at 5:35pm on KWHI 1280AM, 101.7FM, and KWHI.com.

Shane Connell (Joe Alberico)Tenth-ranked Blinn College baseball reached the 30-win threshold with a 12-2 Region XIV South Zone victory over San Jacinto College-North on Saturday in Houston, Texas.
The victory pushed the Buccaneers to 30-10 overall and 17-6 in the South. The 30 wins are Blinn’s most since the 2019 ballclub finished its season 33-22.
“It was a well-played game by us in all facets,” first-year Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. “We got some really timely hits and a great start on the mound from Shane Connell. It was a big day for us and for him.”
Connell, a freshman, improved to 3-0 on the year with six strong innings. He allowed two runs in the home half of the first but recovered nicely to toss five shutout frames. He gave up five hits, walked five, and struck out five.
“Shane stepped up, which we needed,” said Hart. “We needed a good, quality start today to get us to Monday.”
Freshman Cody Pfeffer relieved Connell and tossed two hitless frames, picking up two strikeouts along the way, and sophomore Tate Bethel worked a scoreless ninth to end it.
At the plate, the Bucs harassed the Ravens’ pitching staff with 14 base hits, 13 walks, and eight stolen bases.
“Their field played really big, the wind was blowing in, and it’s the sign of a well-rounded team when you can win in different ways,” Hart stated. “You have to be able to play to the conditions of the day.”
Blinn grabbed a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning, and made it 6-2 in the fifth. Two more runs in the sixth, a single tally in the eighth, and three runs in the ninth put the game away.
Four of the Bucs’ hits went for extra bases, including doubles for Bethel, sophomore Ian Collier, and freshman Marshall Lipsey. Freshman Coy DeFury smacked a 2-run homer to cap Blinn’s three-run first inning.
Tate Bethel (Joe Alberico)Freshman Tanner Reaves bumped his season batting average to a blistering .423 with a four-hit game. He drove in a run and scored twice to go along with a pair of stolen bases. Bethel had three hits, two RBIs and a run; Lipsey had a pair of hits and scored once; and sophomore Ryan Scott singled twice and drove in a run. Freshman Shane Martin also had an RBI.
The win was the Bucs’ fourth of the year over their longtime region rivals, and kept their three-game lead for first place in the South intact. Wharton County Junior College currently sits in second place in the South with a 14-9 mark.
Blinn and San Jacinto finish their season series with a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m. today (Monday) at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.

Three Blinn College men’s and women’s basketball players have been named to the NJCAA Division I Basketball All-America teams.
Tiffany Tullis (Joe Alberico)Women’s basketball players Tiffany Tullis, a sophomore forward from San Antonio, Texas, and sophomore guard Hannah Humphrey, of Kendleton, Texas, were both honored, as was Elijah Elliott, a Houston native and sophomore guard for the Blinn men’s team.
Tullis was named a first-team All-American following a season in which she averaged team highs in points (14.4) and rebounds (12.6) per game. She totaled 28 double-doubles and registered 20 or more rebounds in two games, including 20 during the Buccaneers’ second-round victory in the NJCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship tournament.
“I was shocked; I had to go see it for myself to make sure it was really true,” Tullis said after receiving the news via a text message from Blinn assistant coach Antreanna Brooks. “It took a lot to get to this point. This means a lot. To be able to reach this goal is amazing. Part of me believed this wasn’t possible, and part of me believed it was, and I think the side of me that believed it was possible was just a little bit stronger.”
Tullis has committed to Division I Texas State University after concluding a two-year Blinn run that saw her earn Region XIV Newcomer of the Year honors as a freshman and the region’s Player of the Year award this season. She also was a two-time first-team all-region and all-conference pick and made the Region XIV all-tournament team this season. Tullis is Blinn's single-season and career rebounding leader, with 441 this year and 767 across her two seasons.
Hannah Humphrey (Joe Alberico)Humphrey made the All-America list as a second-team selection. The sharp-shooting guard was second behind Tullis with 12.3 points per game and knocked down a team-best 84 3-pointers. She had four games with five made 3s and two others in which she converted six. Humphrey also landed on the all-region and all-conference first team.
“Knowing that there are people out there who recognize hard work on the court, it means a lot,” Humphrey said. “You always have a thought in the back of your mind that this could be a possibility, but for this to happen is pretty rewarding.”
The Buccaneers won 31 games and spent most of the season among the top five in the NJCAA Division I Women’s Basketball top-25 poll, climbing as high as No. 2. They won their second consecutive Region XIV regular-season co-championship and qualified for the national tournament with a first-round bye for a second year in a row.
Elijah Elliott (Joe Alberico)Elliott concluded his lone season as a Buccaneer by establishing himself as one of the top guards in junior college basketball. The Division I transfer, who named a third team All-American, paced the Bucs with 16.7 points per game to go with 3.6 assists and 2.2 steals. He posted eight games with 20-plus points, including a season-high 27 in his team’s regular-season finale.
“This means a lot to me,” Elliott said. “I’ve put in a lot of work for my coaches and my team this year. I’m blessed that I could be rewarded with this accolade. It’s validation. People say hard work doesn’t go unnoticed, and I guess that’s true.”
Blinn finished the season 23-8 overall and placed second in the Region XIV South Zone with a 16-3 record.

Blane Zeplin (Joe Alberico)The 10th-ranked Blinn College baseball team dropped the opener of its four-game Region XIV South Zone series with San Jacinto College-North 14-9 on Tuesday at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers fell to 29-10 overall and 16-6 in the South.
Blinn played from behind starting in the second inning, as the Ravens jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the frame.
“It was disappointing to see us come out flat,” Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. “There are times where it takes us a few innings to get going, and you can’t play baseball like that and expect to win. If you’re going to come out flat, commit four errors, and walk eight guys, you don’t deserve to win the game. You can’t do that against anybody and expect to win.”
The Bucs trailed 5-0 before finding the plate in the third. A bases loaded balk scored freshman Luke Smith and sophomore Ian Collier made it 5-3 with a two-run single.
Ian Collier (Joe Alberico)San Jacinto scored four more in the top of the fourth, but Blinn answered with three of its own in the bottom of the frame. The Bucs scored twice more in the home half of the fifth on a two-run homer from freshman Kash Durkin to pull within 9-8.
The Ravens kept their distance, however, as they tacked on three insurance runs in the sixth. Blinn added a solo tally in the eighth and San Jacinto finished the scoring with a pair of runs in the ninth.
“You can see what we can do when we play hard … good things happen,” Hart added. “But when you’re flat, you’re not supposed to win. That’s what happened to us tonight.”
Blinn finished with eight hits and drew nine walks.
Collier had two hits and three RBIs, freshman Tanner Reaves plated a pair of runs, and freshman Tony Vernars also had one RBI.
On the mound, freshman Blane Zeplin was tagged with the loss following three innings of work. He allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits with three strikeouts and two walks.

In the bottom of the first, Avery Maurer walked, and Halle Scheel singled. Kaylyn Rodriguez followed with a single to bring home Maurer with the tying run. After a double steal (Scheel to 3rd, Rodriguez to 2nd), Sarah Mabie singled home Scheel. Kinley Antkowiak had a two run single that brought home Rodriguez and Mabie to make it 4-1 Cubettes.
Stella Landry reached on an error. Nevaeh Holmes was brought in the courtesy run for Landry. Antkowiak stole home. McKenzie Tiemann doubled to left field. Maurer then hit a two run triple that scored Holmes and Tiemann. Maurer later scored on a passed ball to give the Cubettes an 8-1 lead after the first inning.
A&M Consolidated scored four runs in the top of the 4th inning to cut the lead to 8-5.
The Cubettes got two runs back on a pair of sacrifice flies in the bottom of the fourth by Annie Beckendorf and Sarah Mabie to push the Brenham lead to 10-5.
Della Jasinski (Mark Whitehead)The Lady Tigers scored in the top of the fifth to make it 10-6.
In the bottom of the inning, Landry doubled, and Holmes ran for her again. Maurer walked. Scheel hit a double to score Holmes, and then Maurer came home on a passed ball to make it 12-6.

The win in game two was career victory #100 for Brenham Cub Head Coach Chase Wheaton.
In the first game, Brenham got the scoring started in the top of the first. Lane Sparks walked, stole two bases, and then scored on an RBI double by Drake Bentke.
The Cubs added two more runs in the top of the second. Sparks drew a bases loaded walk that scored Grant Rogas. Meanwhile, Jacob Mabie was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, which scored R.J. Ratcliff, and put Brenham up 3-0.
In the fourth inning, Rylan Wooten singled, Sparks walked, and then Jacob Mabie unloaded a three run homer to increase the lead to 6-0. Mabie's blast was a $290 winner in the Buccaneer Home Run inning for Blake Dooley of Round Top.
Brenham got another run in the fifth inning when Rogas doubled and scored on an RBI groundout by Preston Lee to make it 7-0 Cubs.
Brenham wrapped up the scoring with five runs in the sixth. Sparks had an RBI double, and Mabie slugged his second homer of the night, a two run shot. Bentke was hit by a pitch and scored on an RBI single by Barrett Kohring. Kohring later scored on a wild pitch to make it 12-0.

Brenham then added four runs in the bottom of the fifth on a two run double by Drake Bentke and a two run single by Gunner Gee to put the Cubs up 8-0.
Rudder managed to get three runs in the sixth inning to cut the lead to 8-3, but that would be as close as they would get.
Brody Hemann got the win. Bentke came in to get the final two outs.

Emily Madeley (Joe Alberico)Emily Madeley finished tied for second place overall and the Blinn College women’s golf team captured the Blinn Spring Invitational team title on Monday at the Brenham Country Club in Brenham, Texas.
In only the Buccaneers’ second-ever home meet, they shot 34-over par (72) in a one-round bout to outlast five other teams. Blinn finished one stroke better than Region XIV rival Tyler Junior College.
Madeley played a key role in Blinn’s victory, placing second at 4-over par after tying for first place. Madeley, a freshman, fell short in a one-hole playoff with the University of St. Thomas’ Emma Luna and champion Mia Lerma of the University of Houston-Victoria.
Krista Vasquez (Joe Alberico)Blinn freshman Krista Vasquez (6-over) placed fourth in the field of 33.
The team win was Blinn’s fourth overall dating back to the fall semester.
“We came in super confident because we were playing on our home course,” Madeley said. “We wanted to show people that this is still our season even though we had a couple of rough tournaments to start the spring. We played well together, we pulled together, and today was a great example that every shot counts.”
Blinn sophomore Holly Paterson cracked the top 10 with a four-way tie for 1oth-place after finishing 10-over.
“Winning four times in a season ... that’s pretty unprecedented,” head coach David Johnson said. “Hats off to the girls and my assistant coach Katie Johnston for the work they've put in. When they go to Alabama for the district meet, I think they have a great shot at getting to nationals. Today was a great day and I'm really proud of them.”
In addition to tournament medals, all-region awards were announced following the completion of the women’s tournament. Paterson was named to the all-region team.
Van Miller (Joe Alberico)The Buccaneer men also participated in Monday’s tournament, playing two rounds and finishing third (12-over) out of nine teams. Blinn’s Blue team placed fourth at 16-over. McLennan Community College shot 2-under for the team victory.
Individually, Blinn sophomores Cameron Hubbard, Van Miller, and Cole McClellan shot 1-over to finish in a five-way tie for fifth place. Freshmen Austin Hassell and Jacob Holloway finished 2-over and finished in a four-way tie for 10th. Sophomore Carson Wray was 3-over for 14th place. A total of 49 golfers made up the men’s field.
Cameron Hubbard (Joe Alberico)“The guys played solid golf,” Johnson said. “We played well, we just didn’t have anyone shoot under par. At this golf course, with the wind blowing the way it was, you can’t take anything away from what we did. There was a lot of quality golf played today and I was proud of the guys for the way they competed.”
Up next, the Blinn women will play in the NJCAA South District meet beginning Monday, April 10, at the Cross Creek Golf Course in Cullman, Ala. The tournament serves as the women’s qualifier for the NJCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championship tournament. The Buccaneer men will compete in the NJCAA Southwest District Championship on Saturday, April 15, at The Hideout Golf Club in Brownwood, Texas.

Sam Crain (Joe Alberico)The 10th-ranked Blinn College baseball team completed a season series victory over Alvin Community College with a Region XIV South Zone twin bill sweep of the Dolphins on Saturday in Alvin, Texas.
The Buccaneers prevailed 14-3 in a seven-inning opener for earning a 12-5 win in game two.
Blinn jumped to 29-9 overall and 16-5 in the South.
“It was a really good day on the road,” Buccaneers head coach Dusty Hart said. “Getting two wins on the road is not easy to do at all; I don’t care who you’re playing, it’s just harder to win on the road. We played about as well as we could today.”
Sophomore pitcher Sam Crain (3-1) returned to a starting role and shined with five innings of two-run ball. He allowed just one earned run on six hits with a walk and nine strikeouts. Freshmen Cody Pfeffer and Tyler Bogusz tossed the sixth and seventh innings, respectively, to close out the win.
“Getting Sam back is big,” said Hart. “He was really good today. He has some of the better stuff on our team … a great fastball and breaking ball; everything moves. We made some really big plays on defense behind him, too.”
With the Buccaneer pitching staff taming the Dolphin offense, Blinn’s bats did the rest with nine hits and 13 walks.
Freshman Tanner Reaves smacked a solo home run – his ninth – in the fourth inning for a 4-1 lead, while sophomore Ian Collier hit a grand slam in the sixth followed by a three-run bomb for sophomore Cam Wheeler in the seventh.
Blinn led just 4-2 after five innings but tallied 10 runs across the final two frames.
“We just kept grinding out at bats, and it was one of those days where we showed our toughness a bit,” Hart stated. “It can be human nature to go to the plate and try to do too much, but these kids aren’t forcing it. You can’t force a pitch to be a strike out of the pitcher’s hand; you have to get a good pitch to hit, which is easier said than done. So, it just shows you the kind of guys we have up and down the lineup and in the dugout. It takes a gritty group of dudes to go out and be unselfish and show patience.”
Reaves finished with two hits and three RBI to go with three walks and three runs scored. Freshman Jake Kolkhorst had two RBIs.
Seven Buccaneers finished with a hit and eighth had at least one walk.
In game two, Blinn again put on a display of discipline as they totaled 11 walks to go with seven hits.
The Buccaneer offense currently leads NJCAA Division I baseball with 276 walks.
Lipsey had two hits, including a double, to go with three RBIs, two runs and two free passes. Freshman Matt Whitting went 2 for 4 with three RBIs. Reaves tripled and scored. Freshman Brandon Bishop drove in two runs and finished with a single. Kolkhorst drew three walks, scored three times and plated a run.
Alvin was within 6-5 heading into the seventh inning, but Blinn tallied four runs in the top of the seventh before tacking on insurance runs in the eighth and ninth.
“We made mistakes, but instead of letting them affect us, we just kept playing,” Hart said. “Good teams let things go, and that’s when you’re at your best. When you’re able to let things go and keep playing hard, good things will happen.”
Blinn used six pitchers in the win, with Pfeffer (2-2) earning the decision after tossing a scoreless seventh and eighth inning.
Up next, the Bucs welcome South Zone rival San Jacinto College-North to town for the start of a four-game series. The two teams will meet at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 4, at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.

Chloee Mason (Joe Alberico)Blinn College softball settled for a doubleheader split with Region XIV South Zone foe Alvin Community College on Saturday in Alvin, Texas.
The Buccaneers battled for a close 2-1 triumph in game one before the Dolphins responded for a 12-7 victory in the finale.
Blinn is now 20-12 with a 6-4 South Zone mark.
In the opener, sophomore pitcher Chloee Mason (7-4) dominated Alvin en route to her second consecutive complete-game effort. She allowed an earned run in the first inning before shutting out the Dolphins the rest of the way. She scattered nine hits, struck out three, and walked two.
“These last couple of weeks, she’s been our most consistent pitcher and that’s what you need out of a sophomore,” Blinn head coach Rick Church said. “Now we need our other pitchers to step up.”
Freshman Alyssa Boozy gave the Bucs a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning with a run-scoring double to left field that scored freshman Alayna Calvillo. After Alvin tied the game in the home half of the frame, the two teams remained tied until Blinn pulled ahead in the top of the seventh. Sophomore Skylar Shanahan singled in Calvillo for her 25th RBI of the season.
Calvillo doubled, and she and Boozy each finished with two hits as part of the Bucs’ nine-hit attack.
In game two, Alvin built a 7-1 lead before the Bucs staged a four-run rally in the top of the fourth. The Dolphins answered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning, and Blinn rallied again with two more in the fifth. Alvin would respond once again in the bottom of the fifth and added another run in the sixth to secure the victory.
“Alvin just responded well and kept coming back at us,” Hart said. “We had a couple of innings where we responded, but Alvin just came back and responded. They showed a lot of grit so give them credit.”
Blinn tallied 11 hits, including three for freshman Haley Rust and two apiece for Boozy and sophomore Madeline Stephenson. Calvillo and freshman Erynne Castillo finished with two RBIs apiece.
Freshman Peyton Welker took the loss for Blinn ahead two innings of four-run ball.
Up next, the Bucs host South Zone foe Lamar State College-Port Arthur for a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, April 5, at Hohlt Park in Brenham, Texas. The two games begin a stretch of 10 consecutive home tilts for Blinn.

Della Jasinski (Mark Whitehead)The Brenham Cubette Softball team avenged an earlier loss and moved into sole possession of second place with a 6-4 over the Magnolia Lady Bulldogs last (Friday) night.
The game was scoreless until the top of the third inning. Avery Maurer led off with a double, and Halle Scheel reached on a bunt single.

Grant Rogas then hit the third triple of the inning to drive in Sparks and Bentke to give Brenham an early 3-0 lead.

The 10th-ranked Blinn College baseball team dropped a tough 8-7 decision to Region XIV South Zone foe Alvin Community College on Thursday at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
Jake Kolkhorst (Joe Alberico)The Buccaneers fell to 27-9 overall and 14-5 in the South Zone standings.
“Bad things happen when you don’t show up and play hard,” Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. “You have to do what the game asks you to do, it’s that simple. We can’t think that we’re too good to show up and play hard and play the game the right way. You’ve got to play good baseball if you want to win baseball games — period.”
The Buccaneers trailed 4-0 heading into the fourth frame and 6-2 entering the bottom of the sixth but staged a five-run rally to take a 7-6 lead.
Tate Bethel (Joe Alberico)A two-run home run from sophomore Cam Wheeler that cleared the left-field scoreboard tied the game before freshman Brandon Bishop slapped an RBI single to push the hosts ahead.
Blinn finished with 10 hits, led by a 3-for-3 day from freshman Jake Kolkhorst. The right fielder also walked, drove in two runs and scored twice. Freshmen Tanner Reaves and Tate Bethel had two hits apiece, with Bethel smacking a solo home run during a two-run fourth frame. Wheeler finished with three RBIs.
“It was good to see they had a little fight in them,” Hart added. “... but at the end of the day, we had multiple opportunities to make a play, make a pitch, or get a hit and we didn’t. Tip your cap to Alvin because they came to our yard and took it to us. At the end of the day, they were better than us today.”
Alvin pulled ahead for good with a pair of runs in the top of the seventh.
Shane Connell (Joe Alberico)The Dolphins touched up Blinn starting pitcher Shane Connell for four runs (all earned) on six hits across four frames. Connell struck out six and walked two.
Freshman Blane Zeplin took the loss after allowing four earned runs in 2 1/3 innings of relief. Freshman Hunter Bond worked the final 2 2/3 frames.
The Bucs conclude their season series with Alvin at noon tomorrow (Saturday) in Alvin, Texas.

The Blinn College softball team played to a doubleheader split with San Jacinto College-South in Region XIV South Zone action Wednesday at Hohlt Park in Brenham, Texas.
Peyton Welker (Joe Alberico)San Jacinto earned a 3-0 victory in the opener before sophomore pitcher Chloee Mason shut down the Ravens in the finale as Blinn pulled out a 3-1 win.
The split moved the Buccaneers to 19-11 overall and 5-3 in the South.
“It was very important for us to come back and win that second game,” Blinn head coach Rick Church said. “It’s all about keeping your composure and maintaining your competitiveness. We always talk about having grit and having a response to challenges, and we responded in game two.”
Ravens pitcher Christin Haygood tossed a complete game and limited the Bucs to just three singles in the opener. Blinn countered with a solid performance from freshman Peyton Welker (7-3), who worked 6 2/3 innings of three-run ball. She allowed six hits with four walks and four strikeouts.
“Her velocity was a little bit down and her mechanics were a little off, and she wasn’t as sharp as she had been,” Church said of Welker. “ … but she kept them off balanced enough to keep us in it. She was battling for us”
Sophomore pitcher Skylar Shanahan got the last out in the seventh on a strikeout.
It was a much different story for Blinn in the return game.
The Bucs opened the scoring and took the lead for good with a three-run third frame.
After freshman Ripley Welker led off the inning with a single, fellow freshman Erynne Castillo reached on an error that put Ripley Welker on third base. Sophomore Madison Stephenson delivered a sacrifice fly to make it 1-0 before freshman Alayna Calvillo’s RBI single pushed Castillo across. Sophomore Emily Kristynik singled Calvillo to third and sophomore Caitlyn Stevens made it 3-0 with a sac fly to right field.
Madi Stephenson (Joe Alberico)“After getting shut out in the opener, the key to the game was just being mentally tough about it and not letting the game before that affect you,” said Stevens. “It was a new game, so you had to have a new mindset.”
Calvillo had two hits as part of Blinn’s five-hit attack. Stevens had a double for the Bucs.
With the comfort of a three-run cushion, Mason (6-4) cruised in the pitcher’s circle. The right-hander allowed just two hits and one earned run while walking one and fanning one. The Ravens got to her for a run in the top of the fourth but managed nothing else against the second-year Buc.
Mason was roughed up in a road loss to Trinity Valley Community College on Monday, making Wednesday’s outing especially impressive to coach Church.
Chloee Mason (Joe Alberico)“A lot of the credit goes to Chloee after not having a great outing Monday,” the coach said. “She gained a lot of experience last season after being our main pitcher, and that experience has really helped her this season. Most of the time when she takes the field, she’s one of our best pitchers. She bounced back today and that’s the sign of a quality pitcher.”
Up next, Blinn hits the road for a South Zone twin bill against Alvin Community College beginning at 1 p.m. on Saturday in Alvin.

Sarah Mabie (Mark Whitehead)On a night where the players honored the teachers that have made a positive influence in their lives, the Brenham Cubette Softball Team rallied to defeat the College Station Lady Cougars 2-1 and move into a tie for second place in District 21-5A.
College Station got on the board in the top of the first inning. Chloe Ream singled, and then stole second. Bryce Clendenin reached on an error that allowed Ream to score what would turn out to be the only Lady Cougar run of the game as they took a 1-0 lead.
It would stay that way until the bottom of the sixth inning. Halle Scheel reached on an infield hit to the shortstop. Kaylyn Rodriguez laid down a sacrifice bunt. She was initially ruled out at first base, but after an umpire conference, the call was reversed, and she was ruled safe.
Della Jasinski (Mark Whitehead)Annie Beckendorf popped up into foul territory. After the catch was made, Scheel and Rodriguez both tagged and moved up an additional base (Scheel to third and Rodriguez to second). Sarah Mabie then unloaded a two run triple off of the wall that brought home Scheel and Rodriguez with what would turn out to be the game tying and game winning runs.
Della Jasinski kept her team in the game the entire night as she went seven innings, allowing only the one unearned run, five hits, three HBPs, two walks, and eight strikeouts.
The Cubettes improved to 20-7 overall and 5-2 in district. Next up, they will travel to Magnolia on Friday night for a 6:30pm start time.

Blinn College softball concluded its six-game road trip with two losses to Trinity Valley Community College on Monday in Athens, Texas.
The Cardinals won the two games 9-2 and 10-2 (six-innings).
“It was not a good day for Blinn softball,” Buccaneers head coach Rick Church said. “Our pitchers gave up too many hard-hit balls; our defense had too many errors; and we didn't have enough offense today. Trinity Valley was ready to compete against us.”
Madi Dorrow (Joe AlfredoBlinn finished with seven hits in game one of the doubleheader, tallying both of its runs on a two-run homer from freshman Madison Dorrow in the second inning.
Freshman Erynne Castillo had two hits.
Sophomore pitcher Chloee Mason took the loss following 1 1/3 innings pitched. She allowed seven runs (six earned) on nine hits with three strikeouts. Freshman Camdyn Shugart tossed the final 4 2/3 frames and surrendered two earned runs on four hits with a pair of walks.
In game two, the Bucs were held to just six hits.
Sophomore Emily Kristynik smacked an RBI single that drove in freshman Alayna Calvillo in the top of the fourth frame, and sophomore Caitlyn Stevens hit a solo home run in the sixth.
Calvillo had two hits for Blinn.
Sydnie Cline (Joe Alberico)Freshman Sydnie Cline was the pitcher of record, working five innings for the Bucs. She allowed seven earned runs on nine hits with three punchouts and a walk. Sophomore Kailey Eldridge got two outs in the sixth before Trinity Valley pushed across its 10th run of the game to enforce the mercy rule.
“We get another crack at them at home on April 7,” Church said of his team’s twin bill against the Cardinals next month. “Now it’s time to regroup for San Jacinto-South.”
The Bucs will host San Jacinto College-South for a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m. tomorrow (Wednesday) at Hohlt Park in Brenham.

The 10th-ranked Blinn College baseball team exploded for nine runs in the first two innings of play and outlasted Navarro College for a 9-8 non-conference win Monday in Corsicana, Texas.
Cody Pfeffer (Joe Alberico)The Buccaneers (27-8), leaders of the Region XIV South Zone, opened the scoring in the top of the first on a leadoff solo home run from freshman Marshall Lipsey before tacking on eight more runs in the second frame. The outburst would be just enough to hold off the Bulldogs, who currently sit atop the Region XIV North Zone.
Trailing 9-2 heading into the home half of the second inning, Navarro scored three runs before adding single tallies in the fourth, fifth, and seventh frames.
“We let them hang around and hang around, so we were very fortunate to get out of there with a win,” Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. “At the end of the day, we found a way to win the game and that’s what was important.”
The Buccaneer offense totaled 10 hits, with freshman Kash Durkin leading the way with three hits, including a double, an RBI, a walk, and two runs scored. Sophomore Ian Collier had a double, three RBIs, and a run to go with three walks. Freshman Brandon Bishop also doubled and dr0ve in a run while crossing the plate and added a walk to Blinn’s 11 free passes. Freshman Tanner Reaves walked twice and drove in his 52nd run of the year – NJCAA Division I’s third-highest total.
Freshman pitcher Carson McKinney started for the Bucs and tossed two frames. He allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits with two walks and a strikeout, and ultimately settled for a no-decision.
Freshman relievers Tyler Bogusz, Tristan Duke, Nick Anello, and Cody Pfeffer combined for three runs (one earned), five hits allowed, six walks, and four strikeouts. Bogusz was the pitcher of record and improved to 3-1 on the year, while Pfeffer recorded four outs for his third save.
“We got a chance to put some guys on the mound who hadn’t pitched a ton, and they got the opportunity to get some late-game experience in a ballgame that was close,” Hart said. “You learn a lot more from those moments than you do when you beat someone 10-1. I thought we did a really good job of maintaining our focus on the mound, and at the end of the day, we made just enough pitches in the big moments to get it done.”
Blinn begins a two-game South Zone series against Alvin Community College at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 30, at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.

The Postmaster at the Flatonia Post Office found himself back in the Lavaca County Jail after a man he shot earlier this month passed away.
44-year-old Michael McKim was arrested last Wednesday by Investigators with the Lavaca County Sheriff’s Office and the Texas Rangers for the murder of 47-year-old Jason Pilat of Shiner.
Bond was set at $500,000, which McKim posted on Saturday and was released.
The charge stems from an incident that occurred back on March 5.
According to a report from the Fayette County Record, McKim was trying to find his wife with the help of his daughter, who was using a cellphone tracker.
Her vehicle was found at Pilat’s home. The Sheriff’s Office said that McKim removed a 9mm pistol from his wife’s vehicle, and started banging on the door to the residence.
An altercation ensued followed by a gunshot.
McKim then waited for law enforcement to arrive and was taken into custody without incident. He was charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
Bond was set at $100,000, which he posted and was released the next day.
Pilat was taken to a hospital in San Antonio, where he died 12 days later.
Because of Pilat’s death, the charge was upgraded to murder, which necessitated McKim being arrested a second time.

The Blinn College softball team rebounded from a tough loss in the opener of Sunday’s road doubleheader to claim the finale and earn a split with Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas.
Emily Kristynik (Joe Alberico)The Buccaneers dropped game one 12-8 before taking game two 5-3.
Blinn is now 18-8 overall.
The Buccaneers looked poised for a victory in the opener after building an 8-3 lead after two innings of play. The Apaches rallied for two runs in the bottom of the third and used a seven-run outburst in the fourth to jump ahead for good.
“Usually when you score eight runs, that’s enough to win,” Blinn head coach Rick Church said. “We gave up a seven-run inning, though, which was deflating.”
The Bucs finished with 11 hits, led by two apiece for sophomore Madeline Stephenson and freshmen Erynne Castillo, Alayna Calvillo, and Haley Rust. Stephenson, Castillo, and Calvillo each scored a pair of runs, Calvillo drove in two runs, and Stephenson had one RBI. Sophomore Emily Kristynik had a double and plated three runs, and sophomore Caitlyn Stevens added a double and an RBI. Freshman Ripley Welker also doubled and scored.
In the pitcher’s circle, freshman Peyton Welker started and worked 1 1/3 innings. She allowed three earned runs on four hits with three walks and a strikeout. Sophomore Skylar Shanahan was tagged with the loss in relief after allowing six runs (four earned) in 2 innings of work. Sophomore Kailey Eldridge got two outs in the fourth inning and finished the game in the circle.
Blinn’s answer to the disappointing loss was a strong showing in game two.
“We talk about making responses during a game; we want to be able to respond within a game, but we also need to have a response the next game if you lose the first,” Church said. “Important for us to bounce back and that’s what we did.”
The Bucs struck first in the top of the third frame on a two-run home run from Kristynik. Castillo crossed the plate on a Kristynik single in the fourth, which also resulted in a Tyler error. Stephenson took home on the miscue to make it 4-0.
The Apaches made it 4-1 in the home half of the fourth.
In the sixth, Kristynik tallied her fourth RBI of the game with a sacrifice that sent Stephenson to the plate.
“RBI singles, sac flies, home runs … Emily Kristynik had a good day offensively,” Church said.
The Bucs totaled eight hits. Kristynik and Stephenson finished with two apiece.
Sydnie Cline (Joe Alberico)Tyler made things interesting with a two-out, two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh, but Blinn freshman pitcher Sydnie Cline induced a pop out to clinch the victory.
Cline (2-0) made her first collegiate start Sunday and allowed three earned runs on seven hits with three walks and a strikeout.
“Sydnie Cline pitched really well today,” said Church. “She has done well in her bullpens and did well in some relief innings. She’d been doing so well that we thought we’d give her a shot to start, and she made the most of it.”
The Bucs have played four games in two days and will close out a three-day, six-game road trip with a visit to Trinity Valley Community College. The two teams will face off in a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. today (Monday) in Athens, Texas.

Brandon Bishop (Joe Alberico)The 11th-ranked Blinn College baseball team settled for a doubleheader split with Region XIV South Zone foe Galveston College on Saturday in Galveston, Texas.
The Buccaneers fell 3-1 in the opener before closing the day with a 15-5 rout. Blinn won the four-game series against the Whitecaps with three wins.
Blinn (26-8, 14-4 Region XIV South) had a rough start to the twin bill, managing just two hits in game one.
“It was just one of those games,” Bucs head coach Dusty Hart said. “We started the day playing about as badly as we possibly could. We didn’t make routine plays behind our pitchers and that led to the score. You have to earn the right to win; you can’t just show up, walk on the field, and win the game. You have to make play and we didn’t.”
Freshman Luke Smith gave Blinn a 1-0 lead on an RBI ground out in the top of the second frame, but the Bucs managed just two singles the rest of the way.
Galveston scored twice in the home half of the third.
Blinn sophomore starting pitcher Victor Loa lasted 2 2/3 innings and was charged with two unearned runs. He gave up two hits, walked four, and struck out three. Freshman reliever Hunter Bond allowed one hit in 3 1/3 frames of work. He fanned two.
The Buccaneer offense rebounded in game two, rallying out of a 4-1 with a pair of five-run frames.
The Whitecaps scored twice in the first and second innings, but Blinn freshman pitcher Bryson Dudley settled in two toss a scoreless third and fourth frame.
The Bucs got going on freshman Coy DeFury’s RBI double in the top of the third, and two innings later jumped ahead with five runs. Freshman Tony Vernars singled, leading to an error that scored freshman Tanner Reaves and sophomore Ian Collier and tied the game at 4-all.
Two hitters later, Vernars scored on a wild pitch to push the Bucs ahead 5-4. Freshman Jake Kolkhorst scored on a wild pitch to push Blinn’s lead to two.
DeFury and Koklhorst each smacked RBI singles in the sixth, freshman Marshall Lipsey plated a run when he reached on an error, and freshman Brandon Bishop drove in Smith with a single to make it 11-4.
The Bucs added a run in the eighth and three more in the ninth.
Blinn finished with 14 hits and 12 walks.
Bishop doubled as part of a four-hit, three-RBI game. DeFury had two hits and Kolkhorst had two. Collier had four walks and Reaves drew three.
“Our offense definitely flipped things in the right direction,” Hart said. “We missed far too many good pitches in the first game, but in the finale, we started squaring up fastballs and were swinging at good pitches to hit.”
Sophomore pitcher Sam Crain earned the victory in relief. He allowed an unearned run across three innings. He struck out three and walked two while allowing two hits. Sophomore Tate Bethel worked a scoreless eighth and ninth to finish out the victory.

Jakoriah Long (Joe Alberico)No nerves. No jitters. No déjà vu. Just Blinn College women’s basketball.
And what a basketball game it was for the third-ranked Buccaneers.
Blinn rode the momentum of a 28-point first quarter and its strong defense into the quarterfinals of the NJCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship tournament Friday, defeating North Dakota State College of Science 80-63 in a second-round tilt at the Rip Griffin Center in Lubbock, Texas.
The victory provided a measure of redemption for the fifth-seeded Buccaneers, seven of whom were in Lubbock one season ago for Blinn’s tournament-opening loss to Jones College in the second round of nationals.
“It was a really long year,” Blinn head coach Jeff Jenkins said. “I’m glad these sophomores were able to get a win at the national tournament. It’s hard to come in here after 13 days off and play your best basketball. It wasn’t pretty today, but we played hard, I thought we cared, and I thought we competed.”
The victory was especially meaningful for the career of Jenkins, who earned his 500th career win. Jenkins is in his 21st year with Blinn, his 24th season overall, and holds a career mark of 500-260.
Coach Jeff Jenkins (Joe Alberico)“Twenty-four years ago, 500 wins isn’t something you think about,” Jenkins said. “I’ve had a lot of great players, a lot of really good assistant coaches, and really good administration that always supports us. We always play a tough non-conference schedule, and we play in a tough region, so this is definitely something I’m proud of. I’m just glad it happened with this group. These players have won 59 games in two years, they helped me get to 500, and I’d do anything for 501.”
Blinn (31-3) looked ready to take on all challengers Friday as it built a 28-9 lead over the 21st-seeded Wildcats in the first quarter.
With the game tied 5-5, the Bucs seized control when sophomore guard Crystal Smith ignited a 10-0 run with a single free throw. She added a jumper moments later, and sophomore guard Skylar Barnes followed with a 3-pointer. Sophomore guard Allana Thompson and sophomore guard Hannah Humphrey converted a layup and a floater, respectively, to make it 15-5 at the 5:12 mark of the quarter.
Sophomore guard Jakoriah Long – who tallied a team-high 17 points – put together a six-point stretch to begin the second period. She sank a 3, hit a free throw, and scored on a layup as Blinn’s cushion swelled to 34-9.
The Wildcats battled back late in the first half, but the Bucs carried a 43-23 edge into halftime.
Long began the third quarter the same way she opened the second, drilling a triple get Blinn going once again. She hit another 3 later in the period to make it 54-29.
“I can speak for all of our sophomores when I say that we were just hungry for this win,” Long said. “We had to come in and compete. We had to rebound and focus on certain things we knew we had to go out there and do, and it was just a good game. We could have played better, and I think we will, but it’s a win.”
Blinn took a 64-43 lead into the fourth quarter, where the Wildcats found some offensive momentum to the tune of a late 15-3 run, but sophomore guard Makayla Patterson pumped the brakes on NDSCS’ surge with a pair of free throws and a 3 in the final two minutes.
Tiffany Tullis (Joe Alberico)The Bucs finished with five scorers in double digits. Behind Long, Barnes finished with 14 points, Humphrey tallied 12, and Patterson and sophomore forward Tiffany Tullis posted 11 apiece. Tullis also had 20 rebounds for a double-double.
“Everybody on this team is a scorer,” Tullis said. “Having everybody contribute and do well knowing that we lost the first game on this court last year, it felt great.”
The Buccaneers will continue their tournament run against fourth-seeded College of Southern Idaho in a battle of top-five seeds at 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 25.
“This group is special, and I just wanted one more game with them,” Jenkins added. “Now we get one more.”

Sarah Mabie (Mark Whitehead)The Brenham Cubette Softball Team picked up another district win as they knocked off Magnolia West 14-4 last (Friday) night.
The game was scoreless until the top of the third. Halle Scheel hit a one out double, and a short time later stole third base. Kaylyn Rodriguez was safe on a fielder's choice. She hit a ground ball to second, and the Lady Mustangs tried to get Scheel at the plate, but she was able to score. Annie Beckendorf followed with a single, and then on an error by the leftfielder, Rodriguez was able to come all the way around to give the Cubettes an early 2-0 lead.
Magnolia West got one of the runs back in the bottom of the third inning to cut the lead to 2-1.
It would stay that way until the top of the sixth inning. Sarah Mabie led it off with a home run to center field. Kaylie Rodriguez and Kinley Antkowiak followed with back to back singles, and Stella Landry walked to load the bases. Nevaeh Holmes, who came in to run for Rodriguez, scored on an RBI groundout by McKenzie Tiemann. Avery Maurer singled home Antkowiak. Kaylyn Rodriguez followed with a two run double that scored Lilana Gonzales, who courtesy ran for Landry, and Maurer. The runs moved Brenham ahead 7-1.

Shane Connell (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College baseball team cruised to an 11-2 victory in a Region XIV South Zone tilt against Galveston College on Thursday at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers earned the win by run rule in seven innings for their seventh consecutive win and improved to 25-7 overall and 13-3 in the South.
“It was a weird game,” Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. “We got some timely hits, but we also had a few chances to break it wide open earlier in the game. We left some guys on base and had some baserunning mistakes, but we did a good job of overcoming that and not letting it affect us.”
With the wind blowing straight out to center field, the Bucs were the beneficiaries of a strong start from pitcher Shane Connell.
The right-handed freshman was efficient in his complete-game effort, needing just 78 pitches to top the Whitecaps. He allowed two earned runs on four hits with two strikeouts and two walks.
“It wasn’t an ideal day to pitch, but Shane threw the ball really well considering the conditions,” Hart said. “He made one bad pitch all game, and every pitch he threw otherwise was executed well. Plus, we played probably our best defensive game that we’ve played all year with some nice plays and some key double plays.”
The Buccaneer offense backed Connell with a 14-hit attack and gave him a 6-0 lead after two innings.
Sophomore Ryan Scott had a 4-for-4 day with two RBIs and a run scored. He doubled twice. Freshman Tanner Reaves reached base four times, drawing two walks while going 2 for 2 at the plate. He led off the bottom of the fourth with a solo home run, his eighth longball of the season. Sophomore Cam Wheeler sent a solo shot to right field in the sixth to make it 11-2.
The Bucs scored in every inning.
Wheeler finished 3 for 4 with two RBIs and a run scored, and freshman Jake Kolkhorst went 2 for 4. Freshman Brandon Bishop had a double, two walks, an RBI, and three runs. Freshman Marshall Lipsey walked three times and scored twice. Blinn's lineup drew eight walks.
Galveston tallied a pair of runs in the top of the third on a two-run homer.
The Bucs have register double-digit run totals in 16 of their 32 ballgames this spring.
Blinn will conclude its series with the Whitecaps with a twin bill beginning at 2 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday) in Galveston, Texas.

KRISTIN CALDWELL
Kristin Caldwell (BHS Track)Kristin Caldwell was born on December 24,1980 in Brenham Texas. Through her adolescence and young adult life, she fell in love with Track and Field. She was able to accelerate in this sport with great achievement. She ran the 100 meters, 200 meters and the 4x100 relay. During her high school career, Kristin was dominant in district, regional and state races and participated in the well-known Texas Relays event held yearly in Austin, Texas. Her top time in the 100 was 11.95. Through hard work, perseverance and commitment, Kristin was awarded a full scholarship to Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas.
Kristin was able to take full advantage of the scholarship resulting in graduating from Texas State University in 2002 with a bachelor’s in business management and continued her education and received her MBA in Management in 2006. She utilized her degree and education as a mechanism to perplex her into the finance industry where she has over 25 years of management experience and is a Sr. Director (SVP) in her current career.
She lives in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with her husband Demarcus Caldwell of 18 years and has two wonderful kids, Kennedy Caldwell, 12, and Dillon Caldwell, 10, and they are surrounded by family and friends still in the Brenham and surrounding areas.
KOURTNEY LOFTON STAPLES
Kourtney Staples, formerly known as Kourtney Lofton, is a 2010 Brenham High School graduate that competed on the varsity Brenham track and field team from 2008-2010. She competed in long jump, triple jump, high jump, the 100M hurdles and anywhere else the coaches saw fit for her to compete.
Kourtney worked hard in her track and field career focusing mostly on the 100M hurdles, but knows that her hard work wouldn’t have yielded nearly as much as it did without God’s guidance and the help and support of those who believed in her, including her mother Gloria…who spent many days at the track… whether picking her up after practice or cheering her on the team at meets. She also wants to thank Mr. Shepherd for supporting her.
The hard work, determination and support ultimately led to Kourtney being able to compete on the track and field team at Houston Baptist University (now Houston Christian University) where she began the next chapter of her track and field career and laid a foundation for her future. She is grateful to the coaches for the opportunity.
Kourtney was able to compete against many competitors of all skill levels and scored wins in her conference, but she believes the best part was being able to meet, compete with, support and be supported by her now husband Jonathan Staples on that very same team.
Kourtney now lives in Houston with her husband and they have three beautiful children together that they hope to cheer on in sports one day. Kourtney is a stay at home mom that runs a successful online business and continues to run through hurdles to achieve her dreams and create a beautiful life for her and her family.

The Blinn College softball team picked up a pair of victories with a doubleheader sweep of Angelina College in Region XIV South Zone action Wednesday at Hohlt Park in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers earned a 9-4 win in game one before closing out the day with a 3-2 triumph.
The sweep pushed Blinn’s record to 15-7 overall and 4-2 in the South Zone.
“It was very important for us to get a sweep today,” Blinn head coach Rick Church said. “We did enough to take care of business.”
Prior to the doubleheader, Woodman Life presented a 30 ft. x 60 ft. American flag that was unveiled for the National Anthem.
Blinn and Angelina players with the American flag
from Woodman Life (Amanda Kohring)In the opener, the Bucs opened up a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning and never looked back. Freshman Madison Dorrow got Blinn going with a run-scoring single; Erynne Castillo drew a bases loaded walk to drive in another run; and sophomore Madeline Stephenson reached on catcher’s interference to bring home Dorrow.
The Roadrunners scored two runs off Buccaneer sophomore pitcher Chloee Mason in the third, but the hosts answered with freshman Alayna Calvillo’s RBI triple and an RBI double from sophomore Emily Kristynik to make it 5-2 in the fourth.
Skylar Shanahan (Joe Alberico)Blinn scored two more in the fifth on an Angelina error. After the Roadrunners scored twice in the sixth, sophomore Skylar Shanahan sent a two-run home run over the wall in left field in the home half of the inning to give Blinn its 9-4 edge.
“We had some clutch situations where we came through with some timely hits,” Church said. “And Chloee scattered her eight hits and limited the damage. It was a good game for us.”
The Bucs finished with 10 hits, led by a three-hit game for Shanahan. Kristynik finished with two hits.
Mason (5-3) tossed a complete game and allowed three earned runs with three strikeouts and no walks.
In game two, freshman pitcher Peyton Welker allowed two runs in the top of the second inning but settled in to earn her sixth win of the season.
Peyton Welker (Joe Alberico)“There were a couple of shaky innings for Peyton in game two, but she finished really strong,” Church said. “A lot of credit goes to Peyton because she finished really tough.”
After the Roadrunners grabbed the 2-0 cushion, Blinn responded in the bottom of the frame when sophomore Michyla Saenz drove in sophomore Caitlyn Stevens with a single.
Calvillo doubled in the bottom of the fifth, and an error in center field allowed Stephenson to score from first base. Kristynik then gave her team the lead when she plated Calvillo with a sacrifice fly.
“We held our own against a good pitcher,” said Church. “We did a little bit of everything to manufacture three runs and it got the job done for us.”
Blinn totaled nine hits, led by Calvillo and Saenz, who each went 3-for-3.
Welker allowed eight hits across seven frames. She gave up two earned runs with three walks and six punchouts.
The Buccaneers return to action on Saturday as they host LSU-Eunice in a double header beginning at 2pm. KWHI 1280AM and 101.7FM will have live coverage beginning with the pregame at 1:35pm.

Buccaneer freshman Natalie Peebles placed fifth overall in the 30-woman field.
“I thought the girls struggled a bit the past two days,” Blinn head coach David Johnson said. “There are a lot of water hazards and out of bounds areas which presented them with a tough challenge. I think they will bounce back strongly in a couple of weeks when we play here at home.”
The Blinn women will co-host the Blinn Spring Invitational with the Buccaneer men’s golf team on Monday, April 3, at the Brenham Country Club in Brenham, Texas.

The Blinn College men’s golf team concluded an exceptional showing at the Centenary/Hal Sutton Invitational on Tuesday, placing two teams first and second in the 10-team tournament at the Stonebridge Golf Club in Bossier City, La.
The Blinn College Blue squad of sophomores Van Miller, Ty Thomas, Cameron Hubbard, Sam Sewell, and Carson Wray finished first overall at 37-over par. The Buccaneers’ White team of sophomore Cole McClellan and freshmen Van Wilborn, Austin Hassell, McKane Kiser, and Jacob Holloway finished second at 40-over.
“It was great to win this week, and it was even better that the White team finished in second,” Blinn head coach David Johnson said. “There was a bunch of good competition going on between our two teams. I believe they forgot about all the other teams and didn't want to lose to each other. The cold temperatures and windy conditions didn't lead to low scoring, but I thought we played well on a demanding golf course. Everyone contributed on both teams and that is what it takes to win golf tournaments. Congrats to all of our players.”
Individually, Hubbard placed fifth in the 53-man field after shooting 6-over. McClellan finished 7-over for sixth pace and Kiser tied for seventh at 8-over. Sewell was 9-over par to finish tied for ninth.
The Blinn men will continue their season at the Blinn Spring Invitational on Monday, April 3, at the Brenham Country Club, in Brenham, Texas.

Blane Zeplin (Joe Alberico)The 11th-ranked Blinn College baseball team defeated Galveston College 6-1 for a Region XIV South Zone victory Tuesday in Galveston, Texas.
The victory pushed the Buccaneers to 24-7 overall and 12-3 in the South Zone and also increased the team’s winning streak to six games.
“It was a really good game; it was well-played on both sides and well-pitched on both sides,” Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. “We knew it would be a tough game going into it with the wind blowing in, but we minimized our mistakes and took advantage of our opportunities.”
Blinn’s biggest opportunity of the game came in the top of the ninth inning with the bases loaded. Clinging to a 3-1 lead, freshman Kash Durkin stepped to the plate with one out and slapped a 1-2 offering down the first base line for a bases clearing double which gave the Bucs sufficient breathing room.
“He had a really good at bat,” Hart said of Durkin’s plate appearance. “I’m really glad he got a hit there because he had a seven- or eight-pitch at bat and just stayed in there and battled. That was the theme of the night: We got big hits when we needed them.”
Blinn opened the scoring in the first when sophomore Ian Collier reached on an error that scored freshman Tanner Reaves, who singled one at bat earlier. In the top of the second, sophomore Ryan Scott hit a solo home run to right field.
The Whitecaps tallied a run in the home half of the second. Blinn made it 3-2 on a Reaves sacrifice fly in the eighth, which scored freshman Luke Smith.
The Bucs finished with 11 hits, including two apiece for Scott, Smith, and freshman Brandon Bishop.
On the mound, freshman Blane Zeplin tossed six innings of four-hit ball. He allowed an earned run with two walks and two strikeouts.
“That was one of his better outings,” Hart said. “He commanded the strike zone and really made some big pitches. He had some hairy spots but was able to make the pitches he needed to get us back into the dugout.”
Freshman reliever Cody Pfeffer worked three frames and struck out five while allowing two hits and two walks. Pfeffer kept Blinn’s lead intact in the eighth when he escaped a two-out jam with runners on first and second. He fanned Galveston’s Ken Hemmer to escape the frame.
Pfeffer later induced a game-ending double play in the ninth.
The series between Blinn and Galveston continues when the two teams meet at 6 p.m. tomorrow (Thursday) at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham.

Lopez went to third on a wild pitch, and then scored on an RBI groundout by Kalli Pohl. Melanie Wood drew a walk, Roemer singled, and then they both moved up on a wild pitch. Fritsch singled home Wood to give Burton a 7-0 lead after a half inning.
The second inning started for the Panthers with a solo homer by Williams to center field. Bailey Glaesmann singled and Kelsie Hohlt was brought in to courtesy run for her. Huntsman followed with a double. Hohlt later scored on a wild pitch, and Huntsman stole home to make it 10-0 Burton.
Iola got on the board by scoring on a pair of Burton errors in the bottom of the second to cut the Panther lead to 10-1.

Glaesmann walked and Hohlt ran for her again. On a wild pitch, Williams scored, and Hohlt went to second. Biggs then reach on an infield hit that brought Hohlt home. That put the Panthers up 13-1 after three hits.

Avery Maurer (Mark Whitehead)After a tough loss to Lake Creek last week, the Brenham Cubette Softball Team bounced back tonight (Tuesday) with a dominating 10-0 win over Montgomery in six innings.
Avery Maurer got the scoring started in the bottom of the first inning with a triple. As she was going to third base, the throw sailed into the Cubette dugout, and allowed her to scored the first run of the game to make it 1-0 Brenham.
In the third inning, Maurer reached again, this time on a double. As she was trying to steal third, Montgomery overthrew the base, and Maurer came in to score to make it 2-0 Cubettes. Two batters later, Kaylyn Rodriguez singled, and Annie Beckendorf doubled. Sarah Mabie then drove them both home on a two run single. Kinley Antkowiak added an RBI single to score Mabie and make it 5-0 Brenham.
The Cubettes added another run in the fourth inning when Halle Scheel singled, stole second, stole third, and then scored on another Montgomery error that increased the lead to 6-0.
Della Jasinski (Mark Whitehead)Brenham would finish the game off with four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. Maurer walked, stole second, and took third on a wild pitch. She then scored as Scheel reached on an error. Scheel stole second and came home on an RBI single by Kaylyn Rodriguez. Annie Beckendorf hit an RBI double to bring in Rodriguez. Beckendorf took third on a passed ball, and scored the final run on a sacrifice fly by Sarah Mabie to seal the 10-0 Cubette win.
Della Jasinski picked up the win going six innings, allowing no runs, five hits, four walks, and striking out eight.

Carson Lauter (Mandy Kalkhake)Though it was pushed back a few days, the Burton Panthers did not disappoint their home crowd as they defeated the Round Top-Carmine Cubs 11-1 on Monday night.
RT-C got things started with a run in the top of the first inning to grab an early 1-0 lead.
The Panthers got the offense going in the bottom of the first inning with a two-out double by Chet Fritsch. The next batter up, Kaiden Kalkhake, was hit by a pitch. Then, Colby Beck brought them both home with a two-run triple that put Burton ahead 2-1.
In the bottom of the second inning, Vicente Veliz reached on a single, stole second, and stole third. He then scored on an infield hit by Pierson Spies to increase the Panthers' advantage to 3-1.
Burton would add three more runs in the bottom of the third inning. Carson Lauter reached on a single. He would then advance to second on a wild pitch, and score on an RBI single by Brady Grifin.

Head Coach Jeff JenkinsThe Blinn Buccaneer Women's Basketball Team will be our guests on the Brenham Sportsline tonight (Monday) at 5:35pm here on KWHI.
The Buccaneers are getting ready for the NJCAA Division I National Championship Tournament in Lubbock.

The Blinn College softball team was swept by No. 14 Galveston College in a Region XIV South Zone doubleheader Sunday in Galveston, Texas.
Skylar Shanahan (Joe Alberico)The Whitecaps earned a 6-2 victory in the opener before securing a 1-0 shutout in the finale.
The Buccaneers are now 13-7 overall and 2-2 in the South.
“It was just a disappointing day for us,” Blinn head coach Rick Church said. “Galveston’s pitchers were good, but when you talk about winning conference or the Region XIV Tournament, you’re going to face good pitchers. We have to learn to compete against better pitching.”
In game one, Galveston scored three runs in the third inning and kept the Bucs scoreless through five frames. Blinn finally broke through on a two-run home run from sophomore Skylar Shanahan in the top of the sixth inning.
The Whitcaps responded in the home half of the sixth, tallying three more runs to pull away.
“Give Galveston credit; we pulled within one but they kept coming at us,” Church added.
Blinn finished with seven hits, including two apiece for Shanahan and sophomore Emily Kristynik, who doubled.
In the pitcher’s circle, freshman Peyton Welker was charged with the loss following a five-inning stint. She allowed six earned runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and four walks. Shanahan worked the sixth inning and allowed one hit.
In game two, sophomore pitcher Chloee Mason gave Blinn a sparkling effort, but was on the losing side of a one-run ballgame.
Mason tossed a complete game, allowing just one earned run on five hits across six innings. She walked one and fanned one.
“Chloee kept us in it,” Church said.
Galveston scored the game's lone run in the third inning.
The Bucs finished with four hits. Kristynik again had a double for Blinn.
Up next, Blinn takes on South Zone rival Angelina College in a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m. on Wednesday at Hohlt Park in Brenham. KWHI will broadcast the second live at approximately 4:30pm (4:05pm pregame).

The post BLINN SOFTBALL SWEPT BY GALVESTON IN A DOUBLE HEADER first appeared on KWHI.com.
Kash Durkin (Joe Alberico)Nobody is having fun pitching against the Blinn College baseball team.
The 18th-ranked Buccaneers earned a 15-1, 12-7 road sweep of Region XIV South Zone foe Coastal Bend College on Sunday, continuing a remarkable offensive stretch that has Blinn rolling.
Since Feb. 27, the Bucs have scored at least 11 runs in nine different games – all victories – and have ammassed 11 or more runs in each tilt of its current five-game winning streak. In total, Blinn has 15 double-digit scoring efforts this spring and is averaging 9.4 runs per game.
“I don’t even know what to say,” first-year Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said with a laugh. “As a group, we’ve done a really good job of being unselfish. We’re waiting until we get a good pitch to hit, and if one guy doesn’t get that pitch, the next guy comes up and gets his.”
During a three-game series sweep of the Cougars, Blinn (23-7, 11-3 South Zone) exemplified plate patience and discipline to the tune of 29 walks, including 21 on Sunday in Beeville, Texas. The Bucs outscored Coastal Bend 40-11 in the series and finished with 34 hits.
Blinn is now 6-3 in region road tilts.
“Any time you get two conference wins on the road, it’s a good day,” Hart said. “It’s always harder to get W's in someone else’s home park. You never know what’s going to happen when you go on the road. I thought we did a really good job of grabbing momentum early and we never let go of it.”
Tony Vernars (Joe Alberico)In game one, Blinn hit the ground running with a five-run first inning. An RBI double from freshman Tanner Reaves scored freshman Brandon Bishop to make it 1-0. Freshman Kash Durkin added an RBI groundout, freshman Tony Vernars slapped a two-run single, and sophomore Ryan Scott stole home to make it 5-0.
In the fourth, freshman Marshall Lipsey and Bishop smacked back-to-back solo home runs to make it 7-1.
The Bucs later pushed eight runs across in the sixth. Durkin sent a two-run homer to center field as part of the sixth-inning outburst.
Blinn tallied 11 hits, led by a three-hit ballgame for Reaves. He doubled twice, drove in two runs, and scored twice. Freshman Jake Kolkhorst finished with two hits – including a double – to go with two RBIs and two runs. Bishop, Vernars, and sophomore Ian Collier each tallied two RBIs a piece. Lipsey scored four runs and walked four times.
“It always starts with keeping good at bats going,” Hart explained. “Guys aren’t trying to force the action, and we’re making the other team throw strikes. The guys really don’t care who gets the credit, they’re just trying to get the next guy to the plate.”
Ian Collier (Joe Alberico)Sophomore Victor Loa improved to 3-0 on the year following an impressive five-inning start. He allowed an earned run on three hits with nine strikeouts and three walks. Freshman Cody Pfeffer got three outs in the sixth, including a pair of strikeouts to force the run-rule.
In game two, Blinn broke up a 4-4 tie with a solo home run from Scott in the top of the fifth. Reaves made it 6-4 when he scored Lipsey on a sacrifice fly in the sixth. In the eighth, Collier scored Bishop with a single, Vernars drove in Reaves with a base hit, and Scott doubled in Collier and Reaves before Kolkhorst made it 11-4 with a run-scoring single.
Bishop doubled home Lipsey for a 12-4 cushion in the ninth. The Cougars scored three runs in the ninth.
The Bucs finished with 14 hits, led by a 3-for-5 effort for Vernars. He drove in two runs and scored once while also drawing a walk. Scott went 2 for 5 with 3 RBIs and two runs. Lipsey, Bishop, Collier, and Kolkhorst each finished with two hits apiece. Collier had three RBIs.
Bryson Dudley (Joe Alberico)On the mound, freshman Bryson Dudley jumped to 5-0 on the year following six innings of work. He allowed four runs (one earned) on three hits with five punchouts and four walks. Freshman reliever Hunter Bond worked the seventh and eighth and struck out six Cougars while surrendering two hits. Sophomore Sam Crain pitched the ninth and ended the game on a groundout to second.
“I thought our guys threw really well,” Hart said. “That was a small park we played in and the wind was blowing out. Making yourself pitch to contact in that environment isn’t always an easy thing to do, but we went right after guys. We pretty much kept them at bay for the entire day and didn’t let them breathe.”
The Bucs continue their season with a four-game South Zone series against Galveston College beginning at 6 p.m. tomorrow (Tuesday), in Galveston.

Caitlyn Stevens (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College softball team got off to a strong start in conference play with a Region XIV South Zone doubleheader sweep of Coastal Bend College on Thursday in Beeville, Texas.
The Buccaneers earned an 8-0 run-rule victory over the Cougars in a five-inning opener before holding for an 8-4 win in the finale.
Blinn is now 13-5 overall.
The doubleheader marked just the third and fourth time the Bucs have played since Feb. 24. Harsh weather conditions have wreaked havoc on Blinn’s schedule this spring, leading to the cancelation or rescheduling of numerous ball games, and head coach Rick Church said he was pleased to see his team find success despite the unpredictable nature of the season.
“It was important for us to get our first two wins in conference,” Blinn head coach Rick Church said. “It’s hard to stay fresh and sharp when you have so much down time between games, but our players have shown a lot of resilience to still come out and play hard.”
In the opener, the Buccaneer offense smacked 11 hits and cruised behind a two-hitter from freshman pitcher Peyton Welker.
Freshman Alayna Calvillo had three hits, including a pair of doubles, to go with five RBIs, and freshman Erynne Castillo had two hits (including a double) and scored two runs out of the leadoff spot. Sophomore Emily Kristynik doubled as part of a two-hit day, and sophomore Kenley Strange singled twice and scored twice. Sophomores Skylar Shanahan and Madeline Stephenson both doubled.
In the circle, Welker tossed a complete game in which she struck out seven Cougars with three walks.
In the finale, the Bucs survived the Cougars’ late-game rally thanks in part to a gutsy effort from sophomore pitcher Chloee Mason.
Chloee Mason (Joe Alberico)Mason started the contest and worked six sparkling innings but was called on to re-enter with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the seventh.
Freshman pitcher Camdyn Shugart allowed a run-scoring double and a two-run single before Church called Mason’s number once again.
Mason promptly fanned Coastal Bend’s Kelsey Perez on a called third strike to end it. She ended her day with 6 1/3 innings pitched and allowed five hits with three strikeouts and two walks.
“You get a lead and exit the game and you think the game is over, but sometimes things can get crazy in softball,” Mason said. “It was nerve wracking out there, but I was prepared. Physically, I just got myself right back in it, and when your coach has the trust in you to put you back in the situation, you just go out there with a lot of confidence. When there’s that t, it helps you get through tough situations like that.”
The Blinn offense built a 7-0 lead before Coastal Bend scored an unearned run in the home half of the sixth.
The Bucs finished with 12 hits, including a 3-for-3 effort for freshman Haley Rust. She tripled and plated a run. Sophomore Caitlyn Stevens went 2 for 3 with four RBIs, including a two-run home run in the fifth. Shanahan and Calvillo had two hits apiece, and Calvillo and Kristynik each drove in one run. Kristynik had a double.
Blinn will resume region play with a doubleheader at 14th-ranked Galveston College beginning at 1 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday) March 18, in Galveston, Texas.

Drake Bentke (Cub Media Guide)Brenham Cub Freshman OF/DH Drake Bentke is off to a great start this season, and it didn't take long for Texas A&M to take notice.
On Thursday, Bentke announced on Twitter that he had committed to the Aggies.
The post from Bentke read, "I am extremely excited and blessed to announce my commitment to Texas A&M to further my education and athletic career! Thank you to the Texas A&M coaching staff for this opportunity. I would also like to thank my family, coaches, teammates, and friends who have all made me into the person and player I am today. Gig'em!"
Bentke, who is in his first year with the Brenham Cubs, has a .388 batting average with one home run, 14 RBIs, a .492 on-base percentage, and a .633 slugging percentage through the first 19 games of the season.
Drake is the son of Matt and Rachel Bentke. His dad, Matt, is a former Brenham Cub baseball player. Drake is also the younger brother of Cubette volleyball player Brooke Bentke, who will be heading to Texas State University this fall.

Marshall Lipsey (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College baseball team cracked the 20-win threshold with a pair of victories in an impromptu doubleheader Wednesday at Leroy Dreyer Field.
The Buccaneers were originally scheduled to face Coastal Bend College in the opener of a three-game Region XIV South Zone series, but shuffled their schedule to include a tilt with South Suburban College, which was set for Thursday. Blinn responded to the shake up with a 13-3, five-inning win over Coastal Bend before rallying out of an eight-run deficit to defeat South Suburban 13-9 in the finale.
“Those were definitely two good wins,” Bucs head coach Dusty Hart said. “Any time you get a conference win and a conference run-rule win to open a series; it doesn’t get any more ideal than that. Then we came out and rallied in the second game; so, it was a good day.”
Blinn improved to 21-7 overall and 9-3 overall, and made it three consecutive games in which it scored 11 or more runs.
The Bucs made a winner out of freshman starting pitcher Shane Connell in the opener, rallying for one run in the home half of the first and four more in the second to overcome a 2-0 hole.
Shane Connell (Joe Alberico)After Connell gave up a pair of solo home runs in Coastal Bend’s first at bat, he settled in to toss five innings of eight-hit ball. He allowed three earned runs with a walk and six strikeouts.
“Whenever you have a rough first inning but your offense comes back and scores runs for you right away, it just gives you one job,” Connell said. “You just have to settle in, put up zeroes, and give your team a chance to come back. We got the win, and that’s all that really matters.”
Freshman pitcher Blane Zeplin struck out three Cougars in the ninth to seal it.
The Bucs did a majority of their damage early with walks and Coastal Bend errors, at one point leading 7-2 despite having just one hit. That hit was a big one, however, a grand slam for freshman Marshall Lipsey that put hosts up 5-1 in the second.
Freshman Tanner Reaves, who recently committed to Louisiana State University, also homered for Blinn, a two-run shot in the fourth.
The Bucs finished with nine hits, including two for Lipsey and freshman Jake Kolkhorst. Sophomore Cam Wheeler and freshman Brandon Bishop both doubled.
The game ended in the bottom of the fifth when Kolkhorst slapped a two-run single to right field that scored freshman Kash Durkin and Wheeler.
In game two, South Suburban raced out to an 8-0 lead with five runs in the first inning and three in the second.
Blinn got going in the bottom of the second on a three-run home run from freshman Christian Dunn and an RBI single from Lipsey to make it 8-4. Sophomore Tate Bethel made it 8-5 with a solo shot in the fourth.
Durkin clubbed a two-run homer in the fifth to pull Blinn within one.
In the seventh, a bases loaded balk pushed Lipsey home to tie the game before Durkin singled to right field to plate Bishop and Reaves for the lead.
“In the back of our heads, I think we never really feel concerned,” Hart added. “I knew we weren’t going to quit. These guys are finally learning how to not play to the scoreboard and keep playing the game the right way.”
Bethel added an RBI groundout in the inning and freshman Matt Whitting doubled in Wheeler for a 12-8 advantage.
South Suburban scored in the top of the eighth, but an error sent Lipsey to the plate in the bottom of the frame to cap the scoring.
Blinn’s 13-hit attack was helped by two-hit performances for Dunn, Lipsey, and Durkin. Durkin drove in four runs.
On the mound, the Bulldogs chased freshman starting pitcher Jake Kolkhorst before an out was recorded in the first inning. Freshman relievers Tyler Bogusz, Keller Thompson, Nick Anello, and Tristan Duke combined to close out the game.
“Our relief pitchers came in and dominated for us,” said Hart. “You really have to tip your hat to those guys just as much as the offense. They pitched to contact and that’s what you want. You want your pitchers to get the defense involved.”
Anello earned the win with 2 2/3 scoreless innings of work. He struck out five without a walk.
Up next, the Bucs will conclude their region series with the Coastal Bend with a doubleheader scheduled for 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 18, in Beeville, Texas.

Rylan Wooten (Mark Whitehead)It was another day and another pitchers' duel between the Brenham Cubs and the College Station Cougars. Once again the Cougars came out on top 2-1.
The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fourth inning, when College Station got on the board. Blake Jones was safe on a wild pitch on strike three. He later stole second and scored on an RBI single by Tyler Abdalla to put the Cougars up 1-0.
In the bottom of the fifth, Lane Sparks hit a one out double. Two batters later, Drake Bentke hit an RBI triple that scored Sparks and tied it 1-1.
College Station scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh on a Cub fielding error to get the walk-off win.
Despite the loss, Dawson Keim pitched a great game. He went all seven innings, allowing two unearned runs, four hits, two walks, and two strikeouts.
Offensively, the Cubs left 12 batters on base.
Brenham drops to 13-7 overall and 0-2 in district.

Tanner Reaves (Joe Alberico)No. 16 Blinn College baseball played to a doubleheader split with Wharton County Junior College on Saturday in Wharton, Texas.
The win in the back end of the twin bill gave the Buccaneers a four-game series split with the Pioneers while pushing their record to 19-7 and 8-3 in the Region XIV South Zone. Wharton County won the first game 6-5 while Blinn earned an 11-1 run-rule victory in the finale.
“It was great to come out and play as well as we did after a tough loss, and it just shows you how tough the guys are,” Buccaneers head coach Dusty Hart said. “It was definitely a good win in the second game after getting punched in the mouth in the first game. We’re capable of beating anybody when we show up and play the way we know we can, and I hope we’ve learned from our mistakes.”
Wharton won game one on a run-scoring error in the bottom of the seventh frame. Blinn rallied to tie the game at 5-all in the top of the seventh with three runs but couldn’t force extra innings in the home half.
The Bucs finished with six hits, including two for freshman Brandon Bishop. Freshman Tanner Reaves singled and drove in two runs, and sophomore Tate Bethel smacked a two-run home run in the top of the third.
Freshman relief pitcher Hunter Bond was tagged with the loss after allowing an unearned run on three hits with one strikeout and two walks in 2 2/3 innings of work. Sophomore Victor Loa started for Blinn and went four innings. He gave up four runs (three earned) on four hits with seven strikeouts and four walks.
“The first game obviously was tough,” Hart added. “We had our opportunities, but we didn’t execute.”
In game two, Blinn brushed off the setback with an onslaught of early offense.
Reaves singled in freshman Marshall Lipsey for a 1-0 first inning lead, and the Bucs kept the momentum going in the second inning.
After freshmen Tony Vernars and Jake Koklhorst singled and walked, respectively, Lipsey blasted a three-run homer to left – his fourth of the season – for a 4-0 cushion. Sophomore Ian Collier later walked with the bases loaded to push the lead to five.
The Pioneers cut the lead to 5-1 in the bottom of the second, but the Bucs got right back to work in the third.
Freshman Matt Whitting scored Bethel on a sacrifice bunt, Lipsey smacked an RBI single, and Bishop singled in Lipsey to make it 8-1.
In the fifth, Reaves singled in Vernars and Whitting before Bishop scored on an error to make it a 10-run ballgame.
The Bucs finished with 10 hits. Lipsey went 3 for 4, adding a double to his stat line to go with four RBIs and three runs scored. Reaves went 3 for 4 and plated three.
Bryson Dudley (Joe Alberico)On the mound, freshman pitcher Bryson Dudley improved to 3-0 on the year with a complete-game effort. He allowed two earned runs on five hits with four strikeouts and four walks.
“Bryson came out and commanded the strike zone,” Hart said. “We scored some runs early for him, which allowed him to relax, but he also didn’t give Wharton any room to breathe. He threw quality pitches throughout the entire game.”
Blinn resumes its season with a non-conference tilt against South Suburban College at 3 p.m. on Wednesday at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham.

(Photo courtesy of Buccaneersports.com)The third-ranked Blinn College women’s basketball team fell just short of a second consecutive Region XIV Tournament championship in a tough 67-65 loss to No. 5 Trinity Valley Community College on Saturday at Tyler Junior College, in Tyler, Texas.
“I can’t be more pleased with this group. I’ve done this for 24 years. You don’t win 30 games very often; this is a special group of players,” Buccaneers head coach Jeff Jenkins said. “I’m so proud of this team and their effort tonight (Saturday). They played as hard and as competitively as I have seen all year. I can’t wait to coach this team at least one more game.”
Blinn faced the Cardinals for the third time this season and entered the title tilt with one win and one loss against their conference rival.
It appeared early the Buccaneers were poised to run away with a victory, carrying a 37-23 lead into halftime, but Trinity Valley made a run in the second half to make a game of it.
The contest came down to an offensive foul charged to the Buccaneers with 10 seconds left. The Cardinals then made two free throws to take the lead for good. Blinn had a chance following a timeout but turned the ball over and Trinity Valley salted away the final seconds for the victory.
Skylar Barnes
(Photo courtesy of Buccaneersports.com)Leading the way for Blinn was sophomore forward Tiffany Tullis, who had 21 points and six rebounds. Sophomore guard Skyler Barnes and Jakoriah Long had 12 and 10 points, respectively.
Despite the setback, Jenkins was upbeat and focused on the future, with his team headed for nationals in Lubbock, Texas, on March 22.
“I thought my team played hard down the stretch; I thought we were fighting the entire time,” Jenkins said. “We’re 30-3 and this sophomore class is 58-8. I’ve coached long enough to know that I probably won’t get to coach another group like this again, and I’m certainly not ready for the journey to end.”
The Buccaneers received one of the at-large spots in the tournament, and are seeded as the #5 team overall. They will get a first round bye, and play the winner of the game between Eastern Arizona and North Dakota State College of Science on Friday, March 24, at 3pm.

The third-ranked Blinn College women’s basketball team advanced to the Region XIV Tournament championship game with a thrilling 62-57 victory over Panola College on Friday at Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas.
Tiffany Tullis (Photo courtesy of Buccaneersports.com)The victory pushes the top-seeded Buccaneers (30-2) into the regional title game for the second consecutive season and sets up a rematch against fifth-ranked and second-seeded Trinity Valley after the two teams battled for the tournament championship one season ago. Blinn will look for a result similar to the 2022 outcome, which saw the Bucs top the Cardinals and move on to the NJCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship tournament. Blinn takes on Trinity Valley this (Saturday) afternoon at 4 p.m. in Tyler.
Securing their berth in the title bout took a little extra effort from the Bucs, as fifth-seeded Panola stayed within striking distance until the very end.
“We survived and advanced,” Blinn head coach Jeff Jenkins said. “We played solid defense and made just enough plays offensively to move on. I’m proud of our girls for getting their 30th win of the season.”
Crystal Smith (Joe Alberico)The Bucs led 19-14 after the first quarter but the Phillies clawed within 28-25 by halftime. The margin remained slim as Blinn carried a 42-38 edge into the fourth period.
Leading the way for the Bucs was sophomore forward Tiffany Tullis, who recorded her 26th double-double of the season with 16 points and 13 rebounds. Sophomore guard Crystal Smith followed with 11 points, while sophomore guard Skylar Barnes had eight. Sophomore guards Hannah Humphrey and Allana Thompson finished with seven points apiece.

Elijah Elliott (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College men’s basketball team ended its season with a tough 64-62 loss to Kilgore College in the quarterfinal round of the Region XIV Tournament on Thursday at Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas.
The Buccaneers concluded their year with a 23-8 record.
Thursday’s matchup was the second meeting this season between third-seeded Blinn and sixth-seeded Kilgore, and came down to the ballgame’s final seconds.
After Buccaneer sophomore guard Bakari LaStrap tied the game with a layup with 20 seconds remaining, the Rangers misfired on an attempted go-ahead 3-pointer, but freshman guard Michael Miller snagged the rebound and quickly deposited a backboard layup for the lead.
With one second remaining, Blinn fired a full-court pass on the inbounds play but was unable to get a shot off.
“It was unfortunate,” Buccaneers head coach Scott Schumacher said. “We forced them into a bad shot, but they got the rebound and their guy got the putback with a second to go. That’s tough. I still thought it was a great college basketball game, and I thought our guys played really, really hard and competed until the end.”
Blinn held a 30-23 halftime advantage, but Kilgore stormed back in the second half. The Bucs trailed by five in the final minutes but were able to tie the game before taking its final lead, 60-59, on a free throw from sophomore guard Elijah Elliott.
Masiah Gilyard (Joe Alberico)“What it comes down to is, in that type of game, whoever had the ball last would get an opportunity to win, and they did,” added Schumacher.
Elliott had a team-high 13 points, followed by 12 for fellow sophomore guard Marco Foster. Freshman guard Masiah Gilyard had 10 rebounds while Foster pulled down nine.
The conclusion of Blinn’s season also spelled the end of the road for 10 Buccaneer sophomores who played their final junior college basketball game Thursday. Schumacher spoke highly of his second-year athletes after the game.
“Our sophomores are a great group of young men,” he said. “They’re really good guys and really good basketball players. I loved being around them every single day, and Blinn should be proud that these young men represented our college these past two years.”

The Burton Panthers split their two games on the first day of the Weimar Tournament on Thursday. In the opener, they lost to the Lexington Eagles 7-6. The Panthers would then come back to defeat the Bosqueville Bulldogs 10-6.
Vicente Veliz (Mandy Kalkhake)The Bulldogs got on the board with a run in the top of the first.
In the bottom of the inning, Vicente Veliz led it off with a triple to right field. Two batters later, Pierson Spies doubled to left , which scored Veliz, and tied the game 1-1. Kaiden Kalkhake was hit by a pitch. Colby Beck then put the Panthers in front with a single to score Fritsch. Carson Lauter was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Bryson Biggs followed with a two run single that scored Kalkhake and Beck. Brady Griffin then executed a suicide squeeze to score Lauter to make it 5-1 Burton.
Kaiden Kalkhake (Mandy Kalkhake)Then during the second inning, Chet Fritsch and Kaiden Kalkhake had back-to-back singles. Fritsch later scored on a pass ball to put Burton ahead 6-1.
In the bottom of the third, the Panthers loaded the bases on a single by Beck, a walk by Lauter, and Bryson Biggs getting hit by a pitch. Veliz hit a two-run single that scored Beck and Lauter to put Burton up 8-1.
Carson Lauter (Mandy Kalkhake)Bosqueville scored two runs in the top of the fourth to cut the lead to 8-3.
Burton would get two more insurance runs in the bottom of the fourth. Fritsch led off the inning with a walk, and then Kalkhake hit an RBI double to score him. Brady Griffin singled to score Kalkhake and give the Panthers a 10-3 lead.
Bosqueville scored three runs in the top of the fifth inning to cut the Burton lead to 10-6, but that would be as close as they come.

Shane Connell (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College baseball team was three outs from a no hitter, and head coach Dusty Hart didn’t even know it.
A 15-run offensive outburst can do that.
The Buccaneers pounded out 16 hits and countered seven issued walks with a combine five-inning no-hitter in a 15-2 victory over Wharton County Junior College in Region XIV South Zone action Thursday in Brenham, Texas.
“We got to the fifth inning and I didn’t even realize we had the no-no going,” said Hart. “When you score all of those runs and have all of those baserunners on, it can sort of fly under the radar. We gave up a few too many walks, but throwing a no-hitter is always a big deal. That’s only the third one I’ve been a part of in my 20-plus years coaching.”
Freshman pitchers Shane Connell and Tyler Bogusz combined for the no-hitter. Connell worked three-plus innings and allowed two earned runs on five walks with three strikeouts. Bogusz came on in the fourth with a runner on first. He walked two while finishing the ball game.
“In those situations, you just have to bear down and throw strikes and let the batters hit it and trust your defense to get outs,” said Bogusz. “I give props to our hitters; they put runs on the board and helped us as pitchers. It makes the game a lot easier when the pitchers pitch, hitters hit, and the defenders defend. We can win just keep winning ballgames and move on the to the next one.”
The Pioneers tallied two runs in the top of the fourth inning on a balk and an RBI ground out.
Blinn (18-6, 7-2 South Zone) built an early lead with four runs in the first frame.
A two-run single off the bat of freshman Tanner Reaves made it 2-0, and an RBI single from freshman Coy DeFury followed by a run-scoring triple from freshman Kash Durkin made it 4-0.
Kash Durkin (Joe Alberico)In the third, freshman Tony Vernars smacked a single to drive in a run, freshman Marshall Lipsey doubled home a run, and freshman Brandon Bishop plated a run with a single for an 8-0 cushion.
Blinn put the run rule in play with a seven-run fourth. Durkin plated a run with a single; Lipsey was hit by a pitch to score a run; Bishop laced a two-run single to right; and Reaves tripled to score two runs and scored on the throw from the outfield that sailed into the home dugout.
The offensive outburst was a welcome sight for the Bucs after the team tallied just four singles against Wharton County in a 5-3 series-opening loss on Tuesday.
“We challenged them a little bit after the first game; we wanted them to lock in and not allow the game to dictate our level of play,” Hart said. “We needed to relax, go out and play, and have fun. I couldn’t ask for a better response from our guys; they came out and stood behind each other and competed.”
Bishoped finished 4 for 4 with four RBIs and two runs. Durkin went 3 for 3 with two driven in, and Reaves had two hits and plated four. Reaves now has 39 RBIs this season, the second highest total in NJCAA Division I baseball as of Thursday night.
Sophomore Ian Collier had two hits, including a double.
Blinn and Wharton County will finish their series with a doubleheader beginning tomorrow (Saturday) at 2 p.m. in Wharton.

Peyton Welker (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College softball team split a twin bill with seventh-ranked McLennan Community College on Wednesday at the Hohlt Park in Brenham, Texas.
Playing for the first time since Feb. 24, the Buccaneers (11-5) earned a 10-2 run-rule victory over the Highlassies in game one before falling 8-4 in game two.
Blinn head coach Rick Church said he was proud of the way his team responded to the weather-induced layoff, and was equally impressed with the way his team answered being run-ruled by McLennan during their first meeting on Feb. 18.
“We talked before the game today and told our team that it was time to go out and make a statement,” Church said. “We certainly did that in the first game, and in game two, we never gave up. I was really proud of the way we competed and I’m happy with the split.”
Alayna Calvillo (Joe Alberico)Blinn rallied out of a 2-0 deficit in game one, tying the contest with two runs in the third inning before going ahead with a four-run fourth frame.
Sophomore Madeline Stephenson singled and scored on an error following a single by freshman Alayna Calvillo in the second inning. Alayna took third on the error and crossed the plate when sophomore Emily Kristynik singled to center to make it 2-all.
In the fourth, freshman Madison Dorrow doubled on a line drive to left field to drive in freshman Ripley Welker. Stephenson plated Dorrow with a single. Blinn’s lead grew to 6-2 when Kristynik singled in freshman Erynne Castillo and Calvillo.
In the home half of the sixth, Stephenson and Calvillo singled, and after a Kristynik RBI single made it 7-2, sophomore Skylar Shanahan sent a three-run walk-off home run over the wall in left field.
Skylar Shanahan (Joe Alberico)“I was confident in myself, I knew my team was confident in me, and I just wanted to get it done for them,” Shanahan said. “I was just waiting on my pitch, and the pitcher gave me that pitch and I sent it out.”
Blinn finished with 13 hits, left by a three-hit, four-RBI performance for Kristynik. Shanahan finished with three RBIs. Calvillo and Welker had two hits apiece. Calvillo also scored three runs.
The Bucs made a winner out of freshman pitcher Peyton Welker, who tossed a complete game and improved to 4-1 on the year. Welker allowed two earned runs on four hits with three walks and a strikeout.
“I knew my offense and defense had my back, so it was really easy to just stay calm out there,” said Welker. “I was in a few jams, but it came down to trusting myself, my coaches, and my teammates, and the hard work I’ve put in.”
In the finale, the Highlassies got going early with a two-run first inning and never surrendered their lead.
Blinn scored one run in the bottom of the first on a Shanahan sacrifice fly, and made it 5-2 in the fourth with an RBI single off the bat of Dorrow.
McLennan tallied three runs in the top of the fifth.
A Shanahan single in the home half of the fifth scored Calvillo, and the Bucs added one more on a Shanahan RBI groundout in the seventh.
The Bucs tallied nine hits, including two apiece for Calvillo, Dorrow, and Kristynik.
Sophomore pitcher Chloee Mason was tagged with the loss following 2 1/3 innings of work. She allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits with a walk. Blinn will hit the road this weekend to face Tyler Junior College in a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 11, in Tyler, Texas.

Jakoriah Long (Joe Alberico)The Bucs complemented their defense with an equally dazzling offense. Blinn drilled 17 3-pointers at a rate of 39% and shot 49% from the floor overall.

Carson Wray (Buccaneersports.com)The Blinn College men’s golf team earned a fourth-place finish at The Happening on Tuesday at The Golf Club on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.
The Buccaneers finished 2-over par in the 11-team tournament which began Monday and was played across two rounds. Eleventh-ranked Odessa College won the tournament team title at 5-under. No. 2 New Mexico Junior College placed second at 4-under, and No. 7 Midland College was third after shooting even.
The Bucs placed ahead of three of the NJCAA’s ranked programs: No. 3 Western Texas College, No. 6 Ranger College, and No. 18 Tyler Junior College.
“It was a very good tournament for us this week,” Blinn head coach David Johnson said. “We needed a good showing to better our chances of getting to the national tournament. We faced a great field in this tournament, and we beat some of them, which should help us move up a little in the next poll.”
The Buccaneers have yet to crack the NJCAA DI Men’s Golf top 20 but are ranked 18th nationally by respected golf media outlet Golfstat.
Blinn sophomore Carson Wray paced Blinn at 3-under par and finished in a five-way tie for fourth. Sophomore Cameron Hubbard cracked the top 20 with a three-way tie for 19th place. He shot 1-over. A total of 62 golfers competed in the tournament.
Sophomores Van Miller (four-way tie for 23rd) and Tyler Thomson and Sam Sewell (both part of a nine-way tie for 27th) broke the top 30, shooting 2-over and 3-over, respectively.
“We had a great team performance in both rounds, and everyone pitched in,” added Johnson. “That's what we have to have from here on out: All five guys with their oars in the water paddling.”
The Buccaneers will compete in the two-day Centenary Spring Invite on Monday and Tuesday, March 20-21, at Stonebridge Golf Club in Bossier City, La.

The Buccaneers finished 84-over par for a runner-up finish in the three-team field. Tyler Junior College, ranked ninth nationally by respected golf media outlet Golfstat, earned the team title at 51-over.
Individually, Blinn sophomore Holly Paterson finished 14-over for third place, one shot better than her freshman teammate, Emily Madeley, who carded a 15-over to take fourth. Both Paterson and Madeley were named to the all-tournament team.
Emily Madeley (Buccaneersports.com)Freshmen Natalie Peebles (11th) and Kimberly Tiefenbach (12th) finished 24- and 25-over to crack the top 15.
“The ladies had some ups and downs this week, but they fought all the way until the end,” Blinn head coach David Johnson said. “I was very proud of Emily with a fourth-place finish and Holly with a third-place finish individually and making the all-tournament team. I am positive we will bounce back with a better team performance in two weeks.”

The 16th-ranked Blinn College baseball team dropped the opener of a Region XIV South Zone series against Wharton County Junior College on Tuesday in Wharton, Texas.
The 5-3 setback dropped the Buccaneers to 17-6 on the season and 6-2 in the South Zone.
“We just didn’t do what it takes to win a baseball game today,” Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. “It was one of the first times all year where I felt like we tried to force things to happen instead of letting them happen. We weren’t ready to play and that falls on me.”
The Pioneers (7-1 South Zone) jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, taking advantage of a Buccaneer error which led to a pair of runs.
Blinn scored three times in the top of the third on an error and a passed ball.
The Buccaneer finished with four hits – all singles.
“We hit some balls hard, but with the wind blowing in it’s hard to hit balls in the air. You have to be able to make adjustments,” Hart added. “You’re not always going to be hot offensively and score 15 runs. You have to find ways to win those 5-4 or 5-3 games and we didn’t do that today.”
On the mound, freshman Blane Zeplin absorbed the loss despite a respectable outing. He lasted five innings and allowed four earned runs on eight hits with three strikeouts and two walks.
“I thought he settled in,” Hart said of Zeplin. “He didn’t have his best stuff to start the game, but I thought he recovered to do a good job for us.”
The four-game set between the Bucs and Pioneers will resume at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 9, at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.

Macie Coskey, Leah Hardy, and Kendal Gurka (Michael Groves)The girls team, consisting of Emmy Boyd, Macie Coskey, Leah Hardy, Kendal Gurka, Erin Keller and Lainey Masterson finished 2nd in the Region behind Cy-Lakes and qualified for the State Tournament. This is the second year in a row that Brenham's Girls's Bowling has qualified for the State. Brenham was in a tight battle with Cy Ranch over the eight team Baker games for control of second place. Brenham rolled an outstanding 168 in Game 5 and then defeated Cy Ranch in game 8 to secure 2nd place and cementing their trip to State.
Lane Sparks (Michael Groves)The boys team bowled well, but did not do enough to qualify for State. Senior Gunner Gee bowled a 200 in his first game to lead all Brenham bowlers. The rest of the Brenham team are Seniors Lane Sparks, Senior RJ Ratcliff, Junior Joe Dubowik, Sophomores Grady Gee and Tyler Lindemann, and Freshman Thomas Loesch.
After the team competition there is another tournament of the individuals who qualified for the Region tournament. Representing Brenham for the Boys were Lane Sparks and RJ Ratcliff and for the Girls it was Leah Hardy and Macie Coskey. Lane Sparks average over 220 over five games to finish 3rd in the Region and qualify for State. Lane was right on the cut line until Game 4 when he bowled a 258 including 8 strikes in a row. He then bowled a 219 to punch his ticket to San Antonio. For the girls, Macie Coskey has a high game of 186 and fell one position short of qualifying for State finishing 5th. Macie, who came into the tournament with a 128 average, bowled a 768 over five games averaging 154. Leah Hardy, came into the tournament with a 158 average and battled injuries the whole weekend. She put on a gutsy performance and gritted her way to a top 10 finish at Regionals.
The Girls team and Lane will next compete at the State tournament in San Antonio at the end of March.

Hunter Bond (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College baseball continued its best start in more than a decade with a Region XIV South Zone doubleheader sweep of No. 7 San Jacinto College-North on Saturday in Houston, Texas.
The Buccaneers rallied to win Saturday’s opener at Andy Pettitte Park 5-3 in seven innings before cruising to a 14-3 nine-inning victory.
Blinn swept the three-game series from the defending South Zone champions to improve to 17-5 overall and 6-1 in the South, and eclipsed its win total from the 2022 season (15). The Bucs are off to their best 22-game start since going 15-7 in 2009.
“It was a really, really good day for us,” said first-year Blinn head coach Dusty Hart. “San Jacinto is a really good team, but our guys are just fighters. We just battled and battled and I’m really proud of my team for that.”
The Buccaneers trailed 3-2 heading into the sixth inning of Saturday’s opener but used a three-run rally to jump ahead for good. An RBI single from sophomore Ian Collier scored freshman Brandon Bishop and tied the game at 3-all before freshman Coy DeFury smacked a two-run double that plated freshman Tanner Reaves and Collier.
Reaves led a nine-hit attack with three singles, while DeFury smacked two doubles as part of a two-hit performance.
Coy DeFury (Joe Alberico)Blinn’s rally made a winner out of starting pitcher Victor Loa. The sophomore tossed 5 1/3 innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits with five strikeouts and two walks. He improved to 2-0 on the year. Sophomore Tate Bethel earned his second save with 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. He gave up one hit, fanned two, and walked one.
In game two, the Bucs took a 4-0 first-inning lead and never trailed, eventually erupting for six more runs late to turn the game into a blowout.
Six of Blinn’s 15 hits went for extra bases, including a pair of doubles for Collier, two triples for freshman Marshall Lipsey, and home runs for DeFury and sophomore Cam Wheeler.
“I said after our win in the series opener that we wanted to give San Jacinto a challenge,” said DeFury, who collected four hits, two doubles, a home run, and six RBIs during the twin bill. “I think we entered this series feeling like underdogs because we aren’t ranked and San Jacinto is, so we were just determined to prove that we can be a force in our conference.”
DeFury made it 4-0 in the top of the first with a three-run blast to center field.
After the Ravens pulled within 4-2 in the third, the Bucs answered in the fourth with a Reaves RBI groundout, a Collier RBI double, and a run-scoring single from DeFury to make it 7-2.
Wheeler sent a solo home run to center in the fifth to give his team an 8-2 advantage.
Blinn added one run in the eighth and five more in the ninth.
Collier finished 4 for 6 with two RBIs, while Defury had two hits and drove in fourth. Bishop and Lipsey had three hits apiece and accounted for three RBIs and six runs.
“Our guys are locking in every pitch,” Hart said. “A big part of that, too, is that our bullpen is giving our hitters the opportunity to relax at the plate because they’re putting up zeroes in the later innings. That gives our hitters confidence.”
On the mound, two freshmen kept the San Jacinto offense in check.
Bryson Dudley (Joe Alberico)Bryson Dudley pushed his record to 3-0 with a 5-inning start. He allowed two earned runs on five hits with four strikeouts and four walks. Hunter Bond entered in the sixth and tossed four hitless innings. He walked one and punched out five.

(Photo courtesy of Buccaneersports.com)The third-ranked Blinn College women’s basketball team made a little bit of history on Saturday.
The Buccaneers defeated Tyler Junior College 76-60 in both teams’ regular-season and Region XIV finale in Tyler, Texas, and will enter the Region XIV Tournament next week as region co-champions and the tournament’s top seed for a second consecutive season.
Blinn’s second straight conference co-championship is just its second title in program history. The Bucs finished the regular season 28-2 overall and tied for the region lead with a 15-1 mark. Blinn tied No. 5 Trinity Valley Community College for the conference championship and won a coin toss to decide the top seed for the region tournament, just as it did at the conclusion of the 2021-22 campaign. The Bucs captured the region tournament championship last season and earned a first-round bye in the NJCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship.
“What this sophomore class has achieved is something I’ve never accomplished,” said Blinn head coach Jeff Jenkins, who is in 21st season coaching the Bucs. “We won our first conference title last year, so this isn’t something that happens regularly here at Blinn College. I’m just so proud of what this team and these sophomores have managed to do.”
The 28 victories are also tied for the most during Jenkins’ time at Blinn. The Bucs finished 28-2 during the 2012-13 season and eventually advanced to the national tournament before ending the season 32-4.

(Photo courtesy of Buccaneersports.com)Blinn gained a measure of momentum with a victory over Tyler on Saturday.
The Bucs and Apaches played a tight ballgame through two quarters before Blinn used its depth to overwhelm its region rival.
The Bucs led 16-12 after the first quarter and just 36-35 at halftime.
“We played hard defensively in the second half and I believe our depth wore them down,” Jenkins said. “Tyler competed very hard, but it was fast-paced game and I think the depth of our bench was just too much for them at the end.”
Sophomore forward Tiffany Tullis paced the Bucs with 22 points, followed by an 11-point outing for sophomore guard Skylar Barnes. Ten other players scored at least four points for Blinn.
The Bucs’ attention now turns to the region tournament, where they begin play with a tilt against eighth-seeded Jacksonville College at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, March 8, at Tyler Junior College. Should Blinn advance, it will face either fourth-seeded Angelina College or fifth-seeded Panola College in the semi-final round.
“We’re excited,” added Jenkins. “Our third season officially begins. We played well in our non-conference slate, our conference schedule, and now it’s time for some really big postseason games.”

The post LADY PANTHERS BEAT ST. JOSEPH’S 12-1 first appeared on KWHI.com.
Tate Bethel (Joe Alberico)According to Blinn College head coach Dusty Hart, the percentages weren’t in his team’s favor.
The Buccaneer baseball team opted to beat the odds, anyway.
Facing an 11-run deficit early in its Region XIV South Zone opener against Alvin Community College, Blinn put on an improbable rally that resulted in a 22-15 victory Tuesday at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
“Ninety-five percent of the time, you lose that game 11-0 after five innings and go home,” Hart said. “Our resiliency is hard to even put into words. That was a huge comeback win right there, and the fact that we hung around and scratched and clawed our way back … what an incredible group effort.”
The Dolphins knocked around Blinn pitching early to build an 11-0 advantage heading into the bottom of the third inning, and even after Blinn freshman Tanner Reaves smacked a two-run homer in the home half of the third, Alvin tacked on a single tally in the fourth for a 12-2 cushion.
“It doesn’t matter how many runs you put us down, this team isn’t going to give up,” said Reaves. “It’s tough, but you just have to find a way to get the guys going. It takes a couple big hits and you’re right back in the game.”
Following a scoreless bottom of the fourth, big hits became the name of the game for the Bucs the rest of the night.
Freshman Shane Martin belted a grand slam to left field to make it 12-6 in the fifth, while freshmen Kash Durkin and Brandon Bishop kept the rally going with an RBI double and an RBI groundout, respectively.
The Dolphins increased their lead to 14-8 with solo runs in the sixth and seventh innings, but Blinn kept chipping away.
Freshman Bryson Dudley and Martin each drew a bases loaded walk in the home half of the seventh to make it 14-10, and after Alvin finished its offensive effort with a run in the eighth, the Bucs seized the momentum for good in the bottom of the frame.
“You always have to remember that when you’re down early like we were tonight, there’s a lot of baseball left,” sophomore Tate Bethel said. “One at bat can change an entire game, and we just kept fighting.”
Bethel put the finishing touches on his team’s rally after Bishop and Reaves each smacked a two-run double to pull the Bucs within 15-14. After freshman Tony Vernars singled Reaves to second and Martin was hit by a pitch to load the bases, Bethel came to the plate with two outs and cleared the bags with a line-drive double to the gap in left-center field.
“We all had to go to the plate and compete every single pitch,” Bethel added. “I just got on one pitch and hit it as best as I could, and it went our way.”
In his second plate appearance of the inning, Bishop hit another two-run double to increase the Bucs’ lead before Reaves mashed his second two-run homer of the night to finish the 12-run outburst.
Blinn finished with 17 hits, led by Reaves’ 5-for-5 showing. He also doubled in the bottom of the first and finished with six RBIs and five runs scored.
Bishop had three hits, including a triple, with six RBIs and four runs. Martin had two hits, two runs, and drove in five.
Bethel capped his night with a scoreless ninth inning on the mound, as he fanned the final two Dolphins he faced to seal the win.
Freshman Tyler Bogusz was the pitcher of record, earning the victory with 1 2/3 innings of work.
Blinn continues its four-game region series against Alvin when the two teams face off at 1 p.m. on Thursday in Alvin.

Jacob MabieThe Brenham Cub Baseball Team returns this (Monday) evening to start the 2023 season at home against former district foe, Katy Paetow.
The Cubs are coming off an exciting season last year that saw them finish 26-13-1 overall, and 11-5 in district play.
They were the second place team behind Magnolia, and went three rounds deep in the playoffs. Brenham beat Pflugerville Hendrickson in bi-district 2-0, College Station in area 2-1, but then lost to State Finalist Friendswood.
Brenham won four of their five scrimmages, including beating Oak Ridge 9-3 this past Friday.
It will be a young team this season after graduating 17 seniors last year.
One of the big question marks going into the season will be the pitching staff. Last year's staff featured seniors Ethan Jezierski, Mason Lampe, Blane Bolcerek, and Cayden Shields handling the bulk of the duties on the mound.
This year, Lane Sparks is expected to take the lead along with returners Eric Aschenbeck, Rylan Wooten, and R.J. Ratcliff. Also figuring into the mix are Brody Hemann, Landry Mendoza, Preston Lee, Jacob Mabie, Dawson Keim, Drake Bentke, Brady Boenker, Brayden Goss, Mason Finke, and Gunner Gee.
In the field, Jacob Mabie, a four year starter on varsity, returns for his senior season. Other returning starters include Gunner Gee at first base, Rylan Wooten at shortstop, and Lane Sparks in centerfield.
The season begins tonight (Monday) against Paetow at 6:30pm at Fireman's Park. KWHI will be broadcasting live beginning with Sportsline at 5:35pm, followed by the pregame at 6:05pm.
The Cubs will then be going to the Santa Fe Tournament Thursday-Saturday.
The Brenham Alumni Tournament is going to be held March 9-11. District play opens Tuesday, March 14, against College Station. at Fireman's Park.

Emily Kristynik (Joe Alberico)Blinn College softball fell to No. 2 McLennan Community College, 12-3, in five innings at the Highlander Classic at McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas.
The Buccaneers finished 2-1 at the Classic and are now 9-2 overall.
Blinn grabbed a 2-0 lead on a two-run home run from sophomore Emily Kristynik in the top of the first inning, but McLennan answered with three runs in the home half of the first to take the lead for good.
Kristynik plated a run with a sacrifice fly in the top of the third to pull the Bucs within 4-3, but the Highlassies tallied eight runs across the bottom of the third, fourth, and fifth frames to pull away.
Freshman Erynne Castillo paced Blinn with three hits and two runs.
Freshman starting pitcher Camdyn Shugart took the loss following two innings in the pitcher’s circle.

Masiah Gilyard (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College men’s basketball team already owned one victory over an NJCAA Division I Top 25 team this season.
On Saturday, the Buccaneers decided to make it two.
Facing 10th-ranked Lee College for the second time this season, Blinn grabbed a first-half lead and never relinquished it en route to a 68-58 Region XIV South Zone victory at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.
The win gave the Bucs (21-7 overall, 14-3 South Zone) another signature victory following a 90-73 home triumph over then-14th-ranked Kilgore College on Jan. 14.
Blinn’s dismissal of Lee (22-5, 14-2) also avenged an 82-77 road loss to the Navigators on Jan. 25.
“Lee has set the standard in our conference, not only this year but for the last couple of years,” Bucs head coach Scott Schumacher said. “Our guys know that; our guys were very focused and very zoned in; and I thought they played an entire 40-minute game. The last time we played Lee, we had our chances, but they just did a better job than us, and I’m just happy that our guys learned from the first game how good Lee really is. We made a few adjustments, but our guys have a tremendous amount of respect for Lee and that showed in our preparation, pre-game, and the way we played.”
Blinn trailed briefly Saturday, falling behind 8-2 in the opening minutes before a 25-9 run pushed the hosts ahead 27-17 with 5:42 left in the first half.
A pair of free throws from sophomore guard Damian Watson, a layup from sophomore guard Masiah Gilyard, and a jumper from sophomore guard Elijah Elliott gave the Bucs their biggest advantage of the half at 33-19.
“We knew the mistakes we made the first time we played Lee, so we had to focus on not making those same mistakes and then just playing our game,” Gilyard said. “We just kept our foot on the gas in the second half, kept applying the pressure, and played hard until the final whistle.”
The Navigators refused to go away, beginning a 12-0 run with the final bucket of the first half that leaked into the second half. A 3-pointer pulled Lee within 33-31 before sophomore forward Alex Tsynkevich turned a Gilyard pass into a backboard bucket. Tsynkevich’s make ignited another big run for the Bucs, who reeled off 13 consecutive points to widen their lead. Freshman forward Jamine Charles turned a Watson assist into a layup for a 46-31 lead.
An Eliott layup gave Blinn its biggest lead of the game at 63-44.
“We just made a few adjustments this time around,” Elliott said. “We knew we had to come out with energy and intensity; we did that and got the job done.”
The Navigators managed to trim its deficit to 67-58 with 1:28 to go, but sophomore guard Bakari Marshall secured a steal with 48 seconds remaining to halt the visitors’ momentum.
Gilyard paced the Bucs with 15 points, while Elliott, Foster, and Charles added 14, 12, and 10, respectively.
Blinn continues region play with a road trip to Jacksonville College at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23, in Jacksonville, Texas.

Ian Collier (Joe Alberico)Blinn College baseball has spent the opening weeks of this season making waves, and that trend continued in a big way Saturday.
The Buccaneers rallied for three runs in the ninth inning to earn an 8-5 victory over No. 3 McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas.
“This was about as big a win on the road as you’re going to get,” Blinn head coach Dusty Hart said. “Year in and year out, McLennan is a really, really good team. I thought we handled the big moments really well and never let any situation get too big for us.”
Blinn (10-4) beat the third-ranked ballclub in NJCAA Division I’s preseason Top 20 poll two days after topping Dallas College-Eastfield, the top-ranked NJCAA Division III squad and last season’s DIII national runner-up, on Thursday.
The Bucs are playing good baseball early as they’re already close to eclipsing last season’s win total (15).
Blinn added another victory to its win column thanks to a series of clutch hits in the ninth inning. After the Highlanders tied the game in the bottom of the eighth, the Bucs responded right out of the gate to open the ninth.
Freshman Brandon Bishop began the ninth with a double and moved to third on a single by freshman Tanner Reaves. Sophomore Ian Collier then crushed a home run to left field to give Blinn the 8-5 advantage.
Sophomore pitcher Tate Bethel induced three ground outs around a walk in the home half of the ninth to close out the game and earn the win.
Tate Bethel (Joe Alberico)Freshman pitcher Bryson Dudley started for the Bucs and worked 3 2/3 innings. He allowed three runs (all earned) on six hits with four strikeouts and two walks. Freshman reliever Cody Pfeffer tossed four innings in which he allowed two earned runs on five hits with six punchouts and a pair of walks.
The Blinn offense totaled 13 hits, led by three apiece for Bishop and Reaves. Collier had two hits and two walks. Freshman Coy DeFury hit a two-run homer in the top of the second that made it a 2-1 ballgame. Freshman Kash Durkin had a single and two RBI and Reaves also plated a run. Collier scored three runs and Bishop and Reaves each scored twice.
Blinn begins a four-game Region XIV South Zone series with Alvin Community College at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 21, at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas. The two teams will then battle it out at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23, in Alvin, Texas, before returning to Brenham for a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25.

Tiffany Tullis (Joe Alberico)The third-ranked Blinn College women’s basketball team kept its perfect Region XIV record intact Saturday.
The Buccaneers held off Kilgore College 76-63 in Kilgore, Texas, to maintain their hold on the top spot in the region.
Blinn is now 25-1 overall and 11-0 in conference play.
The game was broadcast on ESPN Plus, Blinn women's basketball's debut appearance on the platform.
“I’m very proud of our team,” Bucs head coach Jeff Jenkins said. “It was a great atmosphere at Kilgore, and we played on ESPN Plus for the first time. I thought we handled the crowd and TV extremely well.”
Blinn trailed 16-15 after the first period but rallied to grab a 40-33 halftime edge. The Bucs’ cushion grew to 63-52 after three quarters of play.
Skylar Barnes (Joe Alberico)Sophomore forward Tiffany Tullis had a double-double with a team-high 19 points and 12 rebounds. Sophomore guard Skylar Barnes finished with 15 points and five boards. Sophomore guards Hannah Humphrey, Makayla Patterson, and Jakoriah Long posted 12, 10, and 10 points, respectively.

Masiah Gilyard (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College men’s basketball team withstood Victoria College’s furious second-half rally to secure a 94-80 Region XIV victory Wednesday at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers improved to 18-7 overall and 11-3 in conference play, surpassing their win total from the 2021-22 campaign.
Blinn’s 18th win required a late second-half run after the Pirates trimmed the Bucs’ 52-30 halftime lead to 70-63 with 8:28 left in the game.
A 6-0 burst made possible by a tip-in from freshman guard Masiah Gilyard and back-to-back layups from sophomore guard Elijah Elliott put Blinn in control at 80-65, and a back-and-forth battle the rest of the way finished in the hosts’ favor.
The win was the Bucs’ second over the Pirates this season.
“Victoria College has some good players over there and a good coach, and it was a battle until the very end for us,” Blinn head coach Scott Schumacher said. “I expect nothing less; that was only the second team we’ve played twice this season, and our players are learning how tough it can be to beat a team a second time. Any time you play a team a second time after winning the first game, that team is going to come out and play harder and try to get that win back. I thought they did a good job, but I also thought our guys did a great job of hanging in there.”
Schumacher said his team’s resolve in the second half after Victoria trimmed its deficit to single digits was a result of sophomore leadership. The Bucs played 10 sophomores in the win, and three of them – Elliott (22 points) and sophomore guards Marco Foster (20) and Damian Watson (12) – scored in double figures.
“Our preparation is big, and we know what we’re supposed to do when we’re on the court,” Schumacher explained. “We just have to execute, and I thought our guys did.”
Gilyard also starred for the Bucs, tallying 11 of his 19 points in the second half to give his team a lift.
“My team has trust in me, and we have the mentality that if someone is struggling, it’s all about the next man stepping up,” Gilyard said. “Everyone is out here to do what they have to do to help the team earn a win.”
Blinn, which is in second place in the conference standings, visits third-place Coastal Bend College for a region rematch at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11, in Beeville, Texas. The Bucs defeated Coastal Bend 83-78 in Brenham on Jan. 14.

Makayla Patterson (Joe Alberico)The fourth-ranked Blinn College women’s basketball team played stifling defense while burying a flurry of 3-pointers on its way to an 81-51 Region XIV victory over Panola Junior College on Wednesday in Carthage, Texas.
The Buccaneers (22-1 overall, 10-0) drained 17 treys and limited the Phillies to just 30 points through three quarters before Panola finally found some offensive momentum in the final period.
“We played better defensively for three quarters than we have all year,” Blinn head coach Jeff Jenkins said. “To hold the third-place team in our conference to 16 points in the first half and 30 after three quarters is really good. I’m very proud of our effort.”
The Bucs built a 24-12 lead after the first period and led 46-16 at the half. Blinn then took a 70-30 cushion into the fourth quarter.
Sophomore guard Makayla Patterson tallied a team-high 19 points, followed by 12 for sophomore guard Skylar Barnes, and 11 apiece for sophomore forward Tiffany Tullis and freshman guard Amyria Walker. Sophomore guard Hannah Humphrey finished with 10.

Coming off run that saw them go three rounds deep into the playoffs last season, the Brenham Cubettes get ready to start the 2023 campaign looking for more.
Last season, the Cubettes went 25-11-2 on the season. They finished in a tie with A&M Consolidated for second place, with both teams having 11-5 district records, but then beat the Lady Tigers in a one game playoff.
Brenham went on to beat New Caney in bi-district, and Elgin in the area round, before falling to Kingwood Park in the region quarterfinals.
The Cubettes are in their second full week of scrimmages to get ready for the season. Coach Katie Roberts discussed the importance of the scrimmages.
Brenham scrimmaged Waller and Willis back on January 28. One of the concerns Coach Roberts had is that they didn’t hit the ball well. However, with the recent scrimmages against La Grange, Bellville, Klein, Bridgeland, and Paetow, those concerns are quickly being erased.
The Cubettes have one more three team scrimmage on Saturday at Bryan. They will face McNeil at 1pm, and then Bryan at 3pm.
Brenham returns most of their starters from last season including P Della Jasinski, 2B/OF Sarah Mabie, SS Avery Maurer, 3B/C Annie Beckendorf, OF Halle Scheel, OF Kinley Antkowiak, and OF/DH Kaylie Rodriguez. They will have two spots to fill following last year’s graduation of starters Kinley Mikolajchak (first base) and Cortney Ragnes (catcher).
According to Roberts, Kaylyn Rodriguez has taken over the duties at first base. Meanwhile, Annie Beckendorf and newcomer Stella Landry, who transferred to Brenham from Montgomery, have both been seeing time at catcher.
Another new addition to the team is assistant coach Olivia Van Hook. Van Hook is a former Cubette outfielder, who had been an assistant coach under former Brenham Head Coach Wade Wilson at Texas Lutheran University.
Roberts talked about what Van Hook brings to the table.
The District has also seen some changes as well. Brenham, A&M Consolidated, College Station, Magnolia, Magnolia West, and Bryan Rudder remain. Paetow, Jordan, and Waller are in other districts. They have been replaced by Montgomery and Lake Creek.
Coach Roberts gave an early evaluation of the new district.

Elijah Elliott (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College men’s basketball team earned its 10th Region XIV victory of the season with a 76-58 win over Angelina College on Saturday in Lufkin, Texas.
The victory pushed the Buccaneers to 17-7 overall and 10-3 in the Region XIV South Zone, where they sit tied for second place with Coastal Bend College. Blinn owns the tiebreaker over Coastal Bend thanks to a win against the Cougars on Jan. 14.
“Any road win or any conference win is a great win,” Buccaneers head coach Scott Schumacher said. “The guys played well and kept playing hard into the second half, which is what really helped us win the game.”
A low-scoring first half ended with Blinn ahead just 26-25, but the visitors’ fortunes changed early in the second.
The Bucs began the half on a 14-0 run that started with a jump shot from sophomore guard Elijah Elliott. The game-changing move ended on an Elliott steal and assist that resulted in a 3-pointer from sophomore guard Marco Foster and a 40-25 lead with 17:56 to go.
“I thought it was a physical battle in the first half with both teams really getting after it,” said Schumacher. “Then in that second half we got going quickly and grabbed that double-digit lead, and the guys held on.”
Damian Watson (Joe Alberico)Foster scored a team-high 19 points to go with six rebounds. Sophomore guard Damian Watson had 16 points, Elliott had 14 points and six rebounds, freshman guard Masiah Gilyard had 13 points, and sophomore forward Alex Tsynkevich finished with nine points and five boards.
The Buccaneers get back to work when they host Victoria College for a region bout at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.

Hannah Humphrey (Joe Alberico)Fourth-ranked Blinn College earned an 84-53 victory over Coastal Bend College in Region XIV women’s basketball action Saturday at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.
The victory kept the Buccaneers’ perfect conference record intact, as they improved to 21-1 overall and 9-0 in Region XIV.
Blinn overcame a slow start, eventually finding some rhythm in the second period to build a 37-25 halftime advantage.
“I thought we came out a little flat to start the first half,” Buccaneers head coach Jeff Jenkins said. “In the second half we played all 11 of our players and they brought us some energy and played hard.”
After taking a 17-11 lead into the second quarter, the Bucs turned a 25-22 edge into its first double-digit lead of the game with an 8-0 run.
Sophomore forward Tiffany Tullis scored on a layup and a free throw during the push, while sophomore guards Jakoriah Long and Crystal Smith added a layup and a 3-pointer, respectively, for a 33-22 lead.
Skylar Barnes (Joe Alberico)Tullis buried a layup just before the end of the half to put Blinn up 12.
Blinn led 63-37 heading into the fourth quarter.
The Bucs benefited from some long-range offense as they sank 16 treys against the Cougars. Humphrey drilled six 3s on her way to a team-high 26-points. Tullis followed with 14 points, sophomore guard Makayla Patterson and freshman guard Amayria Walker had 13 and 10 apiece, and sophomore guard Skylar Barnes finished with eight.
Blinn will visit Panola College for a conference tilt at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday in Carthage.

Hunter Bond (Joe Alberico)The Blinn College baseball team earned a series sweep of Baton Rouge Community College with a pair of victories in a doubleheader Sunday at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers started their day with an 8-2 win before prevailing 12-4 in the finale.
Head coach Dusty Hart’s ballclub is now 5-2 on the season.
“It’s not easy to beat anybody four times in a row, I don’t care who you are,” said Hart. “I knew Baton Rouge would come out swinging, and I told our team to be ready today. We needed to get the momentum and keep it on our side. I thought we really did a good job of staying in the game and not getting frustrated while continuing to play hard and do what we do.”
In Sunday’s opener, Blinn erased a 2-1 deficit with a seven-run sixth inning.
After freshmen Marshall Lipsey and Brandon Bishop walked and singled, respectively, to open the home half of the sixth, freshman Tanner Reaves tied the game at 2-all with an RBI single. Sophomore Ian Collier walked to load the bases before sophomore Cam Wheeler reached on an infield single that plated Bishop for a 3-2 edge.
Sophomore Ryan Scott was hit by a pitch to score another run before freshman Tony Vernars smacked a two-run double. Lipsey’s two-run single made it 8-2.
Tanner Reaves (Joe Alberico)“We were going station to station in that inning and that’s all we needed to do,” Vernars said. “Guys were taking pitches, having good at bats, and getting on base any way they could, and we all just rolled with it and it led to the big frame.”
Wheeler smacked a solo home run in the second inning as part of a two-hit, two-RBI day. Reaves and Bishop also had two hits.
On the mound, freshman Blane Zeplin earned a no-decision following 4 2/3 of work. He allowed two earned runs on hour hits with four strikeouts and two walks. Freshman Hunter Bond earned the win in relief with 2 1/3 hitless frames. He struck out five and walked one.
“I love coming in during intense moments, and your job is just to fill up the strike zone and give your offense a chance,” Bond said. “My mentality was to just pound the zone, and once our offense put up that seven spot, that just made my job easier.”
In game two, Blinn would again trail early as the Bears took a 2-1 edge into the bottom of the second inning. The Bucs answered decisively with six runs in its half of the frame.
After freshman Coy DeFury singled and Wheeler was plunked with a pitch, Scott doubled DeFury in to tie the game. Vernars was hit by a pitch to load the bases before Matt Whitting walked to force another run home. Lipsey scored Scott with a single, but Whitting was thrown out at second. Bishop ended the scoring outburst with a three-run homer.
Baton Rouge tacked on a pair of runs in the top of the third, but Blinn tallied three more in the fourth and two in the fifth to end the scoring.
Reaves finished 3 for 5, including his third home run of the season - a solo bomb in the first. Bishop and Scott also homered for the Bucs.
Scott also doubled as part of a two-hit game and drove in three runs. Bishop plated three runs and Reaves and Lipsey also had two RBI.
Freshman Jake Kolkhorst started for Blinn and earned the victory after tossing three innings. He allowed four runs (three earned) on three hits with five strikeouts and three walks. Five Buccaneer relievers combined to hurl six no-hit innings with 10 strikeouts to end the game.
“Our pitching overall for the weekend was pretty good,” Hart added. “We can get better, but we’re happy with what we did this weekend. When we throw strikes and make the other team put the ball in play, good things are going to happen.”
Blinn will compete in the Brazos Valley Tournament this week, starting with a matchup with Paris Junior College at 1 p.m. on Thursday at Nutrabolt Stadium in Bryan. The Bucs will take on Odessa College in the tournament at 10 a.m. and Tyler Junior College at 4 p.m. on Friday.

The Buccaneers finish the two-day tournament with tilts against Lake Land and Navarro on Saturday
The Blinn College softball team began its season with a pair of five-inning victories at the 2023 Island Invitational on Friday in Galveston, Texas.
The Buccaneers earned run-rule wins over Howard College, 14-0, and Garden City Community College, 8-0, and will finish the four-game tournament on Saturday.
“Our pitching did its job, and our hitting came through when we needed it,” Blinn head coach Rick Church said. “It was a good start for us, and it should give us some momentum for Saturday.”
In Friday’s opener, sophomore pitcher Chloee Mason set the tone with a three-run shutout. She tossed five innings in which she struck out 10 and walked two.
Chloe MasonAt the plate, Blinn went scoreless through the first two innings, but scored six in the third and erupted for eight more in the fourth.
Sophomore catcher Emily Kristynik’s two-run home run to left field in the bottom of the third started Blinn’s rally.
Emily KristynikThe Bucs finished with seven hits, with Kristynik leading the way with a 2-for-4 showing and four RBIs.
Sophomore shortstop Kenley Strange drew two walks and plated a pair of runs, while freshman utility Alayna Calvillo, and freshman first basemen Alyssa Boozy and Haley Rust also tallied an RBI apiece.
The Bucs drew 11 walks, with three of those free passes earned by freshman outfield Erynne Castillo.
In game two, Kristynik again provided the initial spark at the plate. She doubled in the first to drive in Castillo for a 1-0 lead before Boozy scored Kristynik on a sacrifice fly.
Blinn went on to add a run in the third frame, three in the fourth, and two more in the fifth to finish the game.
Boozy and freshman infielder Madison Dorrow had two RBI apiece, and Calvillo and sophomore third baseman Caitlyn Stevens each drove in one run.
In the circle, Peyton Welker continued the Bucs’ strong pitching day with five innings of three-hit ball. She walked two while fanning eight.
Peyton Welker“We’re getting to a place where we can pitch an entire game and be effective,” Church said. “Opening the season with this kind of pitching is encouraging.”
Blinn will conclude the Island Invitational with a 10 a.m. tilt against No. 18 Lake Land College followed by a 12:30 p.m. matchup against Navarro College.

Blinn will face Weatherford in a doubleheader on Saturday
The Blinn College baseball team fell to Weatherford College in its season opener Friday at Leroy Dreyer Field in Brenham, Texas.
Sam CrainThe Coyotes earned an 8-1 victory in new Blinn head coach Dusty Hart’s debut.
“We got beat in every phase of the game today,” Hart said. “We didn’t execute pitches in big moments and when we had opportunities at the plate, we didn’t cash in. The good news is that there’s nowhere to go but up.”
Sophomore pitcher Sam Crain pitched well, allowing just two earned runs on six hits in four innings of work, but absorbed the loss for Blinn. Crain struck out six and walked two.
The Buccaneer bullpen struggled following Crain’s exit, as three relievers surrendered six runs (three earned) across the final five frames.
Tanner ReavesBlinn finished with five hits and scored its only run when freshman infielder Tanner Reaves singled in fellow freshman Brandon Bishop with two outs in the eighth inning.
The Bucs otherwise fell short with runners on base, coming up empty with the bases loaded in the third inning and again with men on second and third in the home half of the fourth.
“If we get one hit in those situations, we’re in the ballgame,” added Hart. “The difference in the ball game was that their bullpen came in and pitched well.”
Weatherford opened the scoring on a two-out, two-run homer run in the top of the first, but Crain buckled down to toss three scoreless frames to finish his outing. The Coyotes went on to tally three more in the fifth, one in the sixth, and a pair in the seventh.
The Bucs will host Weatherford for a doubleheader beginning at noon on Saturday at Leroy Dreyer Field.

Blinn Board President Jim Kolkhorst addresses
the crowd in attendance. (Mark Whitehead)In front of a near packed house at Leroy Dreyer Field this (Friday) morning, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held for the new Field House, and the recently renovated facilities at the ballpark.
Blinn College Board of Trustees President Jim Kolkhorst told the crowd that planning for the facilities began in the Spring of 2020. He thanked former Blinn Coach Harvey McIntyre for his input into the project, and the Leroy Dreyer family for their continued support of Blinn College.
Last season, the Bucs had to split their home games between Fireman’s Park in Brenham and Nutra Bolt Stadium in Bryan due to the construction project.
According to Blinn Chancellor Dr. Mary Hensley, the new Field House is a 5,500 square foot facility that contains a club deck to watch the game from the third base line.
It also has a club room with lounge seating, a new training room, a new locker room that can handle up to 45 players, lounge seating for the players, TVs, a new speaker system, and coaches’ offices.
On the concourse area, there are new restrooms, a new ticket booth, and upgrades to the concession stands. They also have a new sound system for the press box.
Dr. Hensley added that they are also going to be replacing the current seats at the ballpark with new padded seats with plastic backs. However, due to supply chain shortages, that portion of the project will have to wait until February.
New Blinn Coach Dusty Hart thanked the fans in attendance and said they will put a good product on the field this year.
The team then presented Dr. Hensley with a custom-made baseball bat as a token of appreciation for her support.

Elijah ElliottThe Blinn College men's basketball team fell just short of a Region XIV upset on Wednesday, falling to No. 10 Lee College 82-77 on the road in Baytown, Texas.
The Buccaneers, who sit in second place in the Region XIV South Zone behind Lee, are now 14-7 overall and 8-3 in the South.
It was a battle from start to finish for Blinn, which trailed the host Navigators by double digits in the first half before battling back to take a temporary lead in the second.
"It was the type of game we thought it would be," Bucs head coach Scott Schumacher said. "It was a tough, hard-fought game, and it came down to Lee making some shots at the end. We had some open looks but the shots just didn't go in. But overall, it was a good game."
Blinn trailed 38-32 at the half.
Offensively, sophomore guard Elijah Elliott paced the Bucs with 23 points. Sophomore guard Marco Foster tallied 12 points, sophomore guard Damian Watson had 11, and sophomore guards Jaja Sanni and Bakari LaStrap chipped in 10 apiece.
Blinn resumes its season with a region home tilt against Jacksonville College at 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Kruse Center.

Skylar Barnes goes through the
Angelina defense for a layup.When Angelina College not only rallied out of a 15-point deficit but also took a lead over the fifth-ranked Blinn College women's basketball team, the host Buccaneers proved they were game for a tough Region XIV bout.
Blinn weathered Angelina's valiant rally before flexing its muscles late for a decisive 69-57 Region XIV victory over the visiting Roadrunners on Wednesday at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers jumped to 18-1 overall and 6-0 in conference play behind their ninth consecutive victory.
"Tonight, in the second quarter, it looked like we never played before," Blinn head coach Jeff Jenkins said of a second period that saw Angelina rally out of a 19-4 hole to take a 24-22 lead. "It was turnover after turnover and bad decision after bad decision. But dadgum, in that fourth quarter, we stepped up and made plays and played with some confidence and found a way to win when we didn't play our best basketball. Angelina is a good team, and any conference win is a good win right now."
After the Roadrunners ripped off an 18-3 lead to jump ahead with 2:23 left in the second quarter, it took a 3-pointer from sophomore guard Makayla Patterson and a jumper-free throw combo from freshman guard Tianna Mathis to give Blinn a 30-26 halftime edge.
Angelina refused to go away after the intermission, using a 13-8 difference to grab a 39-38 lead late in the third quarter.
"Angelina played great; they played with intensity, and you could tell how badly they wanted it tonight," sophomore guard Skylar Barnes said. "We just had to come back out and play aggressively to get the lead back, and that's exactly what we did."
After battling back to take a 46-43 lead into the fourth period, the Bucs went on a 13-6 burst, capped by a layup from sophomore guard Crystal Smith, to jump ahead 59-49 midway through the period.
The Roadrunners trimmed the lead to seven twice in the final minutes, but a 7-0 spurt for the hosts, capped by a Smith layup, sealed the victory.
Barnes had a team-high 13 points, while Patterson and sophomore forward Tiffany Tullis tallied 11 apiece. Smith posted nine points.
"We scored tonight, but a lot of this win was our defensive effort," said Patterson. "We had to make adjustments on defense in the second half and that carried us. Tonight proved that we can't take any team for granted because anybody can come out here and put on a good showing."
The Buccaneers will take on region rival and second-ranked Trinity Valley at 2 p.m. on Saturday in Athens, Texas.

Chloee Mason throws a pitch during practice.The array of banners sprawled along the outfield fence at the Blinn College softball stadium aren't just a celebration of past postseason achievements.
For this season's Buccaneers squad, they're also an invitation.
"We want a banner of our own this year on that fence," sophomore Skylar Shanahan said.
"Our focus is a blue banner," added sophomore Chloee Mason. "We need to stay locked in on that and make that happen."
Blinn is setting the bar high one season after finishing below .500 overall but qualifying for the Region XIV tournament thanks to a winning record in conference play.
The Bucs have reloaded with a talented freshman class as well as a bolstered pitching staff that has NJCAA Hall of Fame head coach Rick Church believing his revamped squad has the tools for the trade.
"This team is coming together," Church said. "It's hard to get 18, 19, or 20 people to come together and be a unit, but that's what I've admired so much about this team right now; they've already come together as a team and that's how they're going to do the things they want to do."
During the offseason, Church, who is entering his 23rd season at the helm of the Bucs, addressed his team's biggest Achilles heel from 2022: pitching. Blinn battled with just three pitchers in 2022, with Mason taking on the bulk of the responsibility with more than 160 innings pitched. This spring, the Bucs will have the luxury of six pitchers.
"The depth is huge for us," said Mason. "We aren't going to be in trouble if a pitcher doesn't have her best stuff one game because we'll have options that can step in and help the team. We have pitchers who have great velocity and others with great off-speed pitches, so it's going to bring an element to the games that we didn't always have last season."
Joining Mason in the circle this spring will be Shanahan, sophomore Kailey Eldridge, freshman Peyton Welker, and fellow first-years Camdyn Shugart and Sydnie Cline, who will also serve in a utility role.
With the pitching staff taking shape, Church is hoping a core of reliable sophomore bats mixed with an influx of first-year hitters will provide enough pop to support his hurlers.
Sophomores Emily Kristynik, (catcher/infield), Caitlyn Stevens (catcher/infield), Kenley Strange (infield), Madeline Stephenson (second base), Michyla Sanez (utility), and Shanahan (pitcher/utility), bring veteran leadership to the lineup, while Church said freshman outfielder Erynne Castillo's fall performance in the leadoff spot has cemented her role as the team's offensive spark.
Freshman outfielders Shae Fontenot, Ripley Welker, Haley Rust, and Alayna Calvillo could also find their way into the lineup, giving the Bucs a young-but-talented outfield.
In the infield, freshmen Madyson Henley, Madison Dorrow, Alyssa Boozy, and Ripley Welker will battle for innings with their sophomore counterparts.
"Everyone is competing right now, and we have some freshmen who are going to push our sophomores," Church said. "The girls are putting in the work and they're battling every day to make an impact. We'll use the early part of the season to see where we need to put different players and how we're going to piece together our lineup."
Blinn opens its season in the 2023 Island Invitational, beginning with a tilt against Howard College at 10 a.m. on Friday in Galveston, Texas. Following the two-day, four-game tournament, the Bucs return to Brenham for their home opener against Tyler Junior College — a double-header beginning at 1 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 3.
Blinn kicks off region play with a road twin bill at Coastal Bend College on Thursday, March 16, beginning what Church said will be another gauntlet of a conference slate.
"Our region is one of the strongest regions in the country … that's why we get two automatic bids for the national tournament," Church stated. "San Jacinto-South will be good again; Angelina College will be tough. In the South Zone of our region, it's gotten to where even the bottom-level teams are tough. You can't chalk anything up to an easy win anymore. In this conference, any team can beat you. Region XIV is going to be strong across the board, and you can't take anyone for granted — that's what I'll say."
Church went on to say he admires his team's hunger for its own place in program history, adding that he looks forward to seeing how his team answers the call of a challenging campaign.
"In the fall, when you're facing four-year schools, your goal is to compete and play well," Church said. "Now we're in the spring, I'm anxious and excited to see how we play when the games are for keeps. Our response to adversity and our ability to go after people is going to dictate our season."

Online registration will remain open until tomorrow (Tuesday). Fees for the 2023 season remain the same as they were for 2022 - $75 for the tee ball and coach pitch divisions, and $95 for machine pitch and above.

WCLL is very close to having enough kids for the 13 year old baseball division (only need 3-4 more players) if you are still interested in having your child play this year.
The wait list will allow them to sign up child preliminarily without paying until the Little League confirms they have enough players for that division.
Someone will contact you once we are near the end of registration to let you know whether we have enough players.
Important dates for 2023:
Tomorrow (Tuesday) - Last day to register
January 27 - Practices can begin
Games will likely begin the week of March 4.
We are also still looking for volunteers for managers, coaches, and umpires for the 2023 season - please volunteer when registering your child(ren) and someone will contact you in January with additional details or contact a board member. We especially need volunteers for the t-ball baseball division.

Jamine Charles scores on a slam dunk.A well-rounded team effort paved the way for the Blinn College men's basketball team's exciting and crucial 83-78 Region XIV home win over Coastal Bend College on Saturday.
In front of the Kruse Center crowd in Brenham, Texas, the Buccaneers took the lead for good in the final two minutes of play and held on to improve to 12-6 overall and 6-2 in the Region XIV South Zone.
"That was a big game because both teams were 5-2 in the South coming in, and I thought our players answered the call and played really well at the end," Blinn head coach Scott Schumacher said. "That was a great junior college game and I'm just so happy for our guys. I always thought we were a good basketball team; we've had a couple of tough losses, but I believe we're a good basketball team and I believe in my guys."
Damian Watson gets ready to pass the ball.Coastal Bend tied the game at 77-all with a single free throw with 2:26 to play, but the Bucs seized the lead for good seconds later when a missed Blinn shot bounced toward sophomore guard Damian Watson and freshman forward Jamine Charles. The Blinn duo simultaneously leaped for a put-back attempt, colliding with each other in the process, and the ball miraculously found its way back to the basket for a 79-77 edge.
"It was my bucket," Charles joked after the game with Watson smiling by his side. "We were just happy to do our part, though. We had to step up in that second half and we did what we needed to do to win the game."
Charles scored 10 of his 12 points in the second half, while Watson posted eight second-half points and ended with 10.
Sophomore guard Elijah Elliott dominated the first half for Blinn, tallying 21 of his team-high 25 points in the first 20 minutes.
With the Cougar defense closing in on Elliott after the intermission, Watson said it was the Bucs' responsibility to supplement their offense.
"I felt like myself and the rest of my teammates had to step up to the table and do what we could to put the ball in the basket," Watson stated. "In those tough moments, it's about being a team player and doing everything you can to help the team."
Blinn 48-44 at the break but trailed 55-52 early in the second half.
The teams continued to go back-and-forth until the Bucs built a 75-68 cushion on a hook shot from sophomore forward Alex Tsynkevich, but Coastal Bend roared back with a 9-2 run to tie it up.
Following Blinn's decisive putback, Elliott added a contested jumper with 35 seconds to go, and after the Cougars went 1 for 2 at the free throw line, sophomore guard Marco Foster sank two free throws to ice it.
The Bucs travel to Victoria College for a Region XIV tilt at 7 p.m. on Wednesday in Victoria.

(Photo courtesy of Buccaneersports.com)With less than 30 seconds to play, Elijah Elliott made it his mission to secure a Region XIV victory for the Blinn men's basketball team.
The sophomore guard scored on a driving layup to put his team ahead by one, secured a steal on Navarro College's final offensive possession, and drew a foul with 0.3 seconds remaining before hitting a free throw to seal a 70-68 victory over Navarro College on Wednesday in Corsicana, Texas.
The win pushed Blinn to 11-6 overall and 5-2 in the Region XIV South Zone.
"I thought our guys played really, really hard and competed," Blinn head coach Scott Schumacher said. "It was a really good, really physical junior college basketball game. Both teams really guarded each other well, both teams played hard, and I was proud of our guys for pulling this one out."
Elijah Elliott (Photo by Buccaneersports.com)Neither team could pull away in a game that featured numerous lead changes. After the Bucs and Bulldogs went into halftime tied at 38-all, Navarro grabbed a brief six-point lead in the second half – the biggest advantage for either squad.
The ballgame came down to the final minute, with Elliott scoring on a designed play following a Blinn timeout in the final half minute. On its subsequent possession, Navarro drove the ball down the court before calling a timeout, only to have its final chance – a layup attempt – denied by the quick hands of Elliott. Elliott then went 1 of 2 at the free throw line to put the game on ice.
Freshman forward Jamine Charles paced the Bucs with a team-high 19 points, Elliott added 14, and sophomore guards Damian Watson and Jaja Sanni chipped in 11 and 10, respectively.
Blinn returns home to host Coastal Bend College (5-2 Region XIV South) in a key conference at 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Kruse Center, in Brenham, Texas. Both teams are tied for second place in the South Zone.
That game can be heard live here on KWHI 1280AM, 101.7FM, and KWHI.com.

Hannah Humphrey puts up a jump shot.
(Photo by Joe Alberico, Blinn College)The fifth-ranked Blinn College women's basketball team raced out to a 19-point lead in the first quarter and never looked back en route to an 89-29 non-conference victory over Louisiana State University-Eunice on Wednesday at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.
The Buccaneers (14-1) – winners of five in a row – built a 19-0 edge before the Bengals found the basket for the first time with 1:06 left in the opening period. It remained Blinn's night from there as the hosts took a 21-3 lead into the second quarter and built a 48-16 halftime cushion.
"I think offensively we haven't been shooting the ball well, but I still think we have good offensive players," Buccaneers head coach Jeff Jenkins said. "Because of that, we spend most of our video sessions and practices focusing on the defensive side of our game, and even though we're not perfect every possession, I think we've been showing some real growth as of late."
That was the case Wednesday as the Bucs were just 66 seconds from posting a defensive shutout in a period for the second straight game. On Monday, Blinn held North American University to zero points in the second frame during an 82-48 win.
"We had a slow start to the season defensively, but that was something we focused on during practice before today's game," said Blinn sophomore guard Jakoriah Long. "We worked on our transition defense, our communication, our movement when we're defending, and we really put emphasis on the entire five on the court working together when we're on defense and I think that paid off tonight."
Blinn led 63-23 heading into the fourth quarter.
Long and fellow sophomore guard Hannah Humphrey led the way offensively with 16 points apiece, while sophomore forward Tiffany Tullis and sophomore guard Allana Thompson finished with 14 and 12 points, respectively.
Nine players saw minutes for Blinn and all nine scored at least five points.
"When everyone plays and scores, it contributes to our entire energy as a whole," said Humphrey. "When everybody gets that chance to show what they can do and play a part on the team, it makes the games that much better."
The Buccaneers hit the road for a Region XIV tilt at Jacksonville College at 2 p.m. on Saturday in Jacksonville, Texas.
