On Thursday, three different Badgers will be signing their national letters of intent to continue their athletic and academic careers at the next level. Lampasas football player Ethan Moreno will head to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, and former Badger quarterback David Flores will go to Lyon College in Arkansas.
The Lampasas Middle School tennis team traveled to Llano last week, and several players came home with medals. Monte Gauna placed third in boys’ singles for seventh grade.
The Badgers were well on their way to a quality win over Gateway on Tuesday afternoon, when they were leading 4-1 and needed only three outs in the bottom of the seventh to close out the game. A couple of walks and hits later, the bases were full of Gators, and the Lampasas lead was trimmed to 4-2.
Three Lampasas athletes will compete at the regional track meet this weekend in Bullard. Asa White, Tate Brown and Aden Rascoe all finished in the top four of their respective events at the area track meet in Gatesville last week, and they will get to compete at least one more time this season.
A three-game series will be played this weekend between the Lampasas Lady Badgers and the Salado Lady Eagles for the bi-district round of the softball playoffs. The fourth-place Lady Badgers will have their hands full with the Lady Eagles, who won the district championship and went undefeated in the process.
The Badger and Lady Badger golf teams both have qualified for the state golf tournament set for Kingsland next month. The boys as a team shot 340-330-670 over the two days of competition to finish third in the regional tournament in Huntsville last week.
