Coahoma softball downs Lexington for third consecutive state championship
AUSTIN — Once again, Coahoma is on top of the Texas softball world.
The Bulldogettes won their third consecutive state championship with a 6-1 victory over Lexington in the Class 3A Division II title game Thursday at McCombs Field. Texas signee Hannah Wells was voted MVP after a 2-for-3 outing with a double and a home run. She also earned the win with eight strikeouts in a complete game.

Wells crushed the game's first pitch for a double, and two batters later Mia Clemmer opened the scoring with her own double. Lexington answered with a run on three hits in the home half of the first, but Coahoma scored the contest's final five runs.
Wells allowed three hits the rest of the way and totaled two walks. Her towering shot in the third gave the Bulldogettes the lead for good.
The future Longhorn became emotional seconds after the final out.
"It's sad. I know that's terrible to say, but I am actually really sad," Wells said. "It's the best group of seniors in the game of softball, I think, for high school. And that shows with three state championships back to back. It's so surreal."

Wells played seven games at McCombs Field throughout her career, and that number will soon skyrocket.
"I've played a lot of games here. It's my favorite place to be," Wells said. "I love the atmosphere. I just love Texas softball as a whole, so getting to come here is just a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm so glad I get to do it."
Clemmer, a Texas commit, capped the scoring with a solo homer in the sixth. She went 2 for 4 with two RBIs. Nevaeh Kerby, one of six seniors, tied Clemmer with a team-high two RBIs.
Coahoma became the first softball team in UIL history to win three state championships in a row. Corpus Christi Calallen will look to match the feat Friday.

"It's a fitting end for these senior kids," Bulldogettes coach Alexander Orosco said, "that just bust their tails and do things the right way. It was fitting for them to get here and do it one more time."

The Dallas Cowboys' offense will have something new from QB Dak Prescott in 2025
The Dallas Cowboys' offense will have something new from QB Dak Prescott in 2025 "Yeaaahhhh... here we gooooo!" For the last two years, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has made his snap cadence famous, shouting those four words prior to getting the snap. Game observers either loved it (mostly Cowboys fans) or hated it (most non-Cowboys fans). The good news for the haters is Prescott's cadence is going away for the upcoming season. New head coach Brian Schottenheimer delivered the surprising news during his press conference for the team's second week of OTAs that the pre-snap chatter is gone. Prescott and the offense will now have a new cadence before starting each play. The phrase was made popular by Prescott during his MVP-caliber 2023 season, who explained it's true meaning that year. It was a cadence so beloved in area, the local hockey team, the Dallas Stars, adopted it before each power play during home games. However, if it was a good luck saying in 2023, the moniker didn't fare as well with the QB, or the team, last year. A 12-5 season two years ago turned a disaster in 2024, where Prescott had a 3-5 record before his hamstring injury forced him to miss the remainder of the season. It's unclear whether it was Schottenheimer, Prescott or new offensive coordinator Klayton Adams' decision, but it makes sense to make the change. The Cowboys will have a new offense with wrinkles to implement, and using the same cadence no longer fits. It was time for something fresh. The NFL is also a league that catches onto things quickly and perhaps the other 31 teams picked up on something in Prescott that gave away when the snap was coming. There's a new regime in Dallas and they're going in a different direction with the offense, which includes the pre-snap cadence. No matter the reasons, 'here we gooooo' is now gone, baby, gone. Cowboys fans can't wait to hear what Prescott's new cadence will be, and maybe this one will catch on as well. Before it goes away, for your listening pleasure, here's a chance to listen to some more 'yeaaaahhhh here we gooooo's:' Follow Cowboys Wire on Facebook to join in on the conversation with fellow fans!

Timberwolves expected to pursue Kevin Durant to pair with Antony Edwards in potential blockbuster
The Timberwolves flirtation with Kevin Durant may not be over. After trying to land him midseason, Minnesota is 'expected to pursue a Durant trade again this offseason' as they search for another 'alpha' next to Anthony Edwards, according to a report from Hoops Wire. Durant, who turns 37 before next season, is 'interested in playing for the Timberwolves,' the outlet added. Kevin Durant may be on the move this offseason. AP The Timberwolves made a 'last ditch effort' to trade for the former NBA MVP at the February trade deadline. Durant remained with the Suns through the rest of the season, but murmurs of him headed out of Phoenix this offseason haven't died down. ESPN's Brian Windhorst recently projected the odds of a Durant trade at 98 percent. Fellow ESPN insider Shams Charania previously reported that the Suns, Durant and his business partner, Rich Kleiman, are 'working together' on his 'next trade home.' The Rockets have also been mentioned as a possible trade destination for Durant after falling in the first round to the Warriors. Anthony Edwards #5 of the Minnesota Timberwolves smiles during warm up before the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder during Game 4 of the 2025 NBA Western Conference Finals on May 26, 2025. NBAE via Getty Images Edwards and Durant grew close last summer during the Paris Olympics. Windhorst said during a podcast appearance over the summer that Edwards was 'trailing Kevin Durant around like [Durant is his] big brother' while overseas. 'Literally, Ant gets off the bus with Durant. When they warm up before practice, Ant is standing next to Durant. … Ant cannot get enough of him,' Windhorst added. In his 17th season in the NBA last year, Durant averaged 26.6 points while shooting 52.7 percent during a 36-46 Suns season that resulted in coach Mike Budenholzer being fired after one year. The Timberwolves are looking to get over the hump after losing in the Western Conference finals in each of the past two seasons.
