Following the series, Levelland Head Softball Coach Adrian Holland reflected on his team’s effort.
“I am just so proud to lead this team. These young ladies fought hard all day long, but we just came up short. We faced a really good pitcher today, and we were able to beat her one time today; we just weren’t able to finish the job,” Coach Holland said. “Hats off to Brock for a job well done, but I am proud of my girls. Special thanks to my freshman pitcher Jocelynn Arriaga as she competed in all three games this weekend and did very well. I look forward to seeing her compete in the future.”
The Loboettes conclude their 2026 softball season with a record of 23-11 overall and 8-4 in district play.
