NINE former Houston-area athletes are on the Texas softball team that made history last night as the 1st unseeded team to make it to the WCWS Championship Series. Our partners at vypehouston jokoch09 wrote up this nice piece on the locals reppin the H:
Ashley Boyd beamed with pride last Thursday as she sat in the stands of USA Hall of Fame Stadium.
"I can’t even describe the pride that comes from watching one of our kids in the WCWS," Boyd said."She is our second player since I have been here to play in it, and it will never get old watching them live out the softball dream on the highest level." Texas had a dramatic come-from-behind victory on Monday night to eliminate Oklahoma State and punch its ticket to the WCWS National Championship series, which is set to begin on Wednesday night in Oklahoma City against No. 1 Oklahoma."It truly is something they work their entire life for, and nobody understands the work that goes into reaching a goal like that," Boyd said."It is a tough road that is so worth it in the end.
Another star for the Longhorns is former Barbers Hill standout and 2021 Class 5A State Champion Sophia Simpson.
