District Preview: Byron Nelson just might be the it team this season
After finishing second in their district last year with a playoff run to be proud of, the Byron Nelson Lady Bobcats are back at it this season looking to dominate their district schedule. Before they can do that, though, they have a handful of non-district games to close out. VYPE DFW dives into what fans can expect from this team!
Non-District So Far
The Lady Bobcats have already posted an incredible record; 18-2 with a 90% winning percentage. Having dropped only eight sets out of a combined 58, Byron Nelson is on track to be the team to beat moving forward. The Lady Bobcats already defeated well-known opponents like Justin Northwest (3-1), Flower Mound (3-0), McKinney (3-1), Grapevine (3-0), Euless Trinity (3-0), and more. Having posted 15 shut-out victories in their 20 games so far, the Lady Bobcats are stronger than ever as they look to close out non-district play with a home game against Plano East on September 1st.
What To Expect
As the team heads into district play, they very well might be one of the top contenders to make a statement season with another deep playoff run. Led by talented athletes like Kylie Kleckner, Averi Bourgeois, Emily Housknech, Nora Conway, Kalli Hall, Rayvyn Thomas, Zion Coats, Anna Koster, Hadley Warden, Ryleigh Francis, and more, the team has never been more prepared to dominate the court. Byron Nelson will open district play on Friday, September 8th on the road against the Southlake Carroll Lady Dragons.
Catch this team in action as they just might be one of the best in the area this season!
A Culture of Fun: Lady Texans Softball
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that a successful team is created out of a culture that is enjoyable. At Northwest ISD, the Justin Northwest Lady Texans seem to have one of the closest, most fun team cultures in the metroplex. The team has continued to have positive attitudes all season while still being able to post incredible victories on the diamond.
It just takes scrolling through the team's Twitter account to see that the team knows how to have a good time. From having a homerun duchess title to the BB Bib and Big Energy Hat, the team has been showing off their skill, shouting out a job well done, and creating a culture of fun.

While having fun, the team has managed to post a 14-6 overall record and a 5-2 district record to finish in the second-place spot in their district standings; just behind an undefeated Aledo squad. Allowing only a combined 47 runs scored against them this season, the Lady Texans have posted big victories over the likes of El Paso Eastwood, Joshua, Saginaw, Allen, Lewisville, Azle, and more.

Scoring 104 runs of their own this season, the Lady Texans have shut out seven of their opponents including in their recent 8-0 victory over Wichita Falls Rider to close out regular season play. With excellent fielding matched with batters who remained focused at the plate, the Lady Texans have had a season to be proud of. There's no doubt that some of the best performances have been fostered by the ability to let loose and just have fun while playing under Coach Morrow.
