Since playing varsity softball, Class 5A The Colony has made the postseason.

The Cougars are legit under the direction of Deana Coleman, winning state in 2017 and reaching the state tournament a year ago.

Coleman is blessed with a pair of superstars in 2020 in Jacee Hamlin and Jayda Coleman – her daughter.

"Last year, we weren't really expecting to get to state," Hamlin, a first-team, all-state selection said. "I'm super proud of that team because we got back to the Final Four."

Hamlin is a catcher/centerfielder who has signed with Texas Tech.

"I visited several campuses, but Texas Tech just felt like home," she said.
