HAYS
1. Hays softball plays in memory of a fallen teammate
Few, if any, teams in the history of Hays CISD showed as much grit, determination and guile as the Hays Rebel softball team did in the 2016-2017 season. Guided by the memory of teammate Brynn Aylor, who was tragically killed in a car accident in Buda in March, Hays rolled through 25-6A en route to the school’s first district title since 2014. In addition, the Rebels powered through the first round of the playoffs, sweeping San Antonio Madison before finishing in the area round. Seven Rebel players were named to the 25-6A All District team, with pitcher Max Valdez named as MVP and head coach Lisa Cone named Coach of the Year.
