Crosby's Ally Mooneyham
LET'S GEAUX: Crosby’s Mooneyham verbals to Nicholls State
Given her repertoire, not just in Crosby but for her time spent with Texas Bombers Gold 18u, Mooneyham has finally found a place to call home once she graduates in 2024... Nicholls State University.

“I chose Nicholls State because I loved the campus and the softball coaches there are the best,” said Mooneyham. “I got to meet some of the players and I felt very comfortable with them. I didn’t feel nervous on my visit -- the girls and coaches helped with that. I also have family that lives in Monroe, so everything about it stood out to me.
Now that Mooneyham is officially committed, how does this change her outlook on the upcoming school year?
“This commitment really changes my mentality by knowing that I need to keep working hard for myself and for my team,” she said. “I want people to know that I won't start giving less effort for my last year because I am committed.”
Crosby’s playoff run met an unfortunate end in 2023 when they were narrowly defeated by Foster in the Area Round.

However, before she becomes a college athlete, the Nicholls State-commit will prepare to lead her fellow Cougars, one final time, in hopes of a resurgence.
“My expectations for my senior year will be for everyone to try their best,” Mooneyham said. “If we are in a tough situation, I want everyone to keep fighting for the win. My responsibility will be to hold myself and my teammates accountable, so they will know that they can trust me on and off the field.”

THE WIND UP: VYPE Softball Rankings, No. 14 Crosby Cougars
Crosby is hoping that this is the year that they punch through the ceiling.
Last year, the Cougars reached the Regional Quarterfinals for the fifth time in program history and for a second-straight year. Troy Fox enters his 13th season leading the program and will earn his 250th career win in 2023.
Seven starters return for the Cougars led by Houston-commit Jordee Wilkins. Other names to remember include Katlyn Clark (Vernon-commit) and Madison Garcia (McClennan-commit).
Also watch out for Morgan Lloyd, Ally Mooneyham, Samantha Land, Katie Blackmon, Jules Delome, and Brooke Henderson.
The motto for the Cougars this year is “Hold the Rope”. They will try and reach their first-ever Regional Final in 2023.
