What an unbeleiveable high school softball career. I feel so blessed to have had a front row bucket to witness her greatness. It was so much fun to be a part of it all.



New Highland Softball team milestones & records. The 2026 Lady Cougars set new season team records with 328 runs scored (10.2 / game), 215 stolen bases (6.8 / game), & 137 walks (4.2 / game). This team was electric and so much fun to watch all year long.
