I want to congratulate all of the members of the 2005 Columbia Lady Necks varsity softball team for their awesome run at the state tournament this year. The players and coaches showed a lot of class at the state tournament and throughout the playoffs and made their community (where I live) and the entire District 25-AAA schools proud. I also want to commend the fans who finally showed up in Austin for Saturday's final -- I was worried after Friday. Columbia went through a lot this year with a real young team, a couple of starters quitting, and then the pitcher, Cami Newsome, throwing both games in the heat in Austin after dealing with walking pneumonia all week. She also had several hits on Friday and Saturday to keep her team in the hunt for a title.
Again, congrats on a great season!!
Coach Hicks,
Head SB Coach, Sweeny HS
PS. To whomever left a "state champs" banner in the back of my truck in LF before the game. I still have it and can give to you for next year. (But you still have to get through our tough district!! LOL!!)
