Rice athletes celebrated as youth movement continues

On Tuesday, May 9, the Rice athletics program held their annual Athletic Awards Assembly to recognize a host of players and athletes who had successful seasons and contributed to Rice’s forward steps in athletics this season. The theme of the night was the hope Rice has for the future as many of the featured teams had little to no seniors on their respective squads, as well as a plethora of young players hoping to take another step forward next school year. Many awards were given throughout the night as there were several general award recipients as well as awards given out for each team. 05/17/2023 12:00 AM

Wildcats skate past Skidmore for Area Title

Wildcats skate past Skidmore for Area Title

VICTORIA – The Weimar Wildcat baseball team had the offensive performance they were hoping for when they drew the Skidmore- Tynan Bobcats for the Area Championship round of the postseason. The Wildcats saw the ball well and found ways to make plays as they scored 21 runs in two games as they swept their second-round opponents. It was not only their offense that led them to victory as they also held their opponents to just four runs in a dominating effort that clinched Weimar’s spot in the regional rounds of the tournament. With this series victory, the Wildcats will now be seeking redemption against the Shiner Comanches for round three. Shiner took the advantage in both district games against the Wildcats, so Weimar will have to find a way to break through starting on Thursday, May 18 at Rice High School. 05/17/2023 12:00 AM
