Great job, Warriors! We are proud of you!

June 25, 2016-The last time WACO softball won a game

May 28, 2026-WACO beats Columbus 17-7 in 4 innings

These girls gave their fans something to cheer loud and proud about, getting their first program win in a decade. We were down 2-0 after the top of the 1st and we stepped our game up after that, putting up 17 runs and forcing the run rule after 4 innings!

A total team effort from start to finish-great pitching, some solid defensive plays, strong baserunning, and patience at the plate which led to scoring.

It’s been a grind to this point with hard practices and a lot of reps, but the girl’s dedication to making a change in direction has been the story behind it all. The team is buying in and the early results show.

We will enjoy this win but the season doesn’t get easier, as we travel to Hillcrest on Friday for a big conference matchup. Hats off to these girls who not only played for themselves, but they did it for the WACO community.

Way to go, Warriors!!!

🥎‼️

Tonight the Warriors have their home opener as the Columbus Wildcats come to Wayland. Both teams are searching for their first win of the short season.

No JV game, middle school at 5:00 PM, varsity at 7:00 PM. These Warriors are hungry for a win and would like nothing more than a sea of blue in the crowd supporting them!

Great work by all WACO athletes and coaches!

What a wild ride this season has been! This team did the unthinkable and more. Eight school records shattered, six meets conquered, a conference championship and both teams finished top twenty five at the state meet. The hard work and grit needed to make it happen is impressive and these kids had it in spades.

The State Meet meet is now over and we want to send our thanks to all the parents and supporters, we couldn't have done it without you!

Let’s go ahead and start the countdown to next season!

🤍💙
