Texas clinches Lone Star Showdown trophy for the 2024-25 school year over Texas A&M
Texas clinches Lone Star Showdown trophy for the 2024-25 school year over Texas A&M Texas has clinched the Cotton Lone Star Showdown trophy.
The University of Texas Longhorns have clinched the 2024-25 Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown trophy, marking their seventh win in the rivalry series against Texas A&M. The annual competition, which includes all varsity men's and women's athletic events, was reimagined as the Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown prior to the current season.
The Longhorns secured an 11-5 lead in the point standings following a baseball series sweep over the weekend. With only 2 points left to be decided in men's and women's outdoor track and field at the SEC Championships on May 15-17, Texas has an insurmountable lead.
The Lone Star Showdown began before the 2004-05 season and lasted until 2011-12. It was brought back as the Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown for the 2024-25 season. Texas has now won the Lone Star Showdown in 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, and 2024-25.Cotton Holdings sponsors all head-to-head sports contests between Texas and Texas A&M in Austin and College Station. They also sponsor the year-long scoring system that determines the annual Lone Star Showdown rivalry series trophy winner.
The history between the Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies began in 1894 with football. In 2011, Texas A&M joined the Southeastern Conference, which ended the schools' 118-year consecutive meetings. To continue the rivalry in other sports, the Lone Star Showdown was created in 2004. Each winner of a head-to-head matchup gets a point, and the school with the most points at the end of the year wins the series and the Lone Star Trophy.

2026 4-star Edge and Texas A&M commit is visiting Washington
2026 4-star Edge and Texas A&M commit is visiting Washington Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting class is on track to see a significant boost this summer, especially this weekend, as coach Mike Elko and his staff are currently hosting 18 prospects from the 2026 class, including six commits, led by four-star wide receiver Aaron Gregory. However, five-star wide receiver and LSU commit Tristen Keys is also on campus. After hiring former Miami Recruiting Director and assistant WR coach David Cooney, the Aggies have a very good chance to flip the elite pass catcher soon. However, according to Rivals recruiting insider Adam Gorney, four-star edge Texas A&M commit Samu Moala could be the Aggies' first realistic flip candidate, as the California product will reportedly visit Washington this weekend. The Huskies, like Oregon, focus on California for the bulk of the program's recruiting and have done a solid job this offseason of hosting several elite 2026 prospects. However, after committing in late October of last year, Texas A&M will be the final team to host Moala on June 20, meaning the Aggies are still in the driver's seat to keep him committed ahead of Early Signing Day in early December. On the field, there's a reason Moala is highly sought after, as he has improved every season, recording 52 tackles, three sacks, two tackles for loss, an interception, and nine hurries during his 2024 junior season. On offense, Moala hauled in five receptions for 86 yards and one touchdown. According to 247Sports, Moala is currently positioned as the 27th-ranked Edge and 26th-ranked prospect in California.

Paige Bueckers' Coach Assigns Blame for Disappointing Start to WNBA Season
Paige Bueckers' Coach Assigns Blame for Disappointing Start to WNBA Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Dallas Wings had some hope that they would be at least somewhat competitive this season after they went a dismal 9-31 last year. Advertisement However, a few weeks into the 2025 WNBA season, they find themselves with a 1-8 record after falling to the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday by a final score of 93-79. Granted, guard Paige Bueckers, the No. 1 pick in this year's draft, has been out for the last three games after being placed in concussion protocol. But the Wings were already struggling beforehand. Head coach Chris Koclanes appears to have taken some accountability for the team's poor play by saying that he and his staff haven't gotten the job done in one area, per Joey Mistretta. "Wings HC Chris Koclanes said he and his coaching staff have done a 'poor' job of organizing rotations and gameplans to begin the 2025 season," Mistretta wrote on X. Koclanes is in his first season as a WNBA head coach. He had previously been an assistant coach for the Sparks and Connecticut Sun, as well as an assistant for the USC Trojans. Advertisement The Wings are in the midst of a rebuilding process, so some pain should be expected in the meantime while they look to develop Bueckers. However, fans are understandably impatient and looking for some sort of measurable progress. Bueckers was a big star at UConn, and she led the school to the women's NCAA championship just a couple of months ago. She is averaging 14.7 points and 6.7 assists a game so far this season. Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers© Patrick Gorski-Imagn Images The Wings have finished with a winning record just once in the last nine seasons, and they have won just one playoff series since 2009, back when they were known as the Detroit Shock.
