The cloud of dust in the air last Thursday in Natalia at Mustang Stadium was what the Arabian track team left in their wake did to their counterparts as Devine won their final regular season meet of the 2024 season. The Arabians, along with the rest of District 29-4A, travel to Floresville April 3-4 for the chance to compete at Area April 10.
The varsity scored 206 points in route to their championship performance. Floresville was a distant second place with 144 points followed by old district foe Crystal City who put up 82 points.

Devine can now show off 14 landslide victories after their most recent contest on Thursday. Everything went their way against the Pearsall Mavericks as the Devine Warhorses made off with a 15-4 win. Winning may never get old, but Devine sure is getting used to it with their fifth in a row.
Hilary Barnett made a big impact no matter where she played. She struck out six batters over five innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off three hits (and only one walk). Barnett has been consistent…

Martinez and Lytle will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against Crystal City at 6:00 p.m. Lytle has been struggling at home and they’ll enter the contest having lost three straight home games.

Arabella Gallegos was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out six batters over six innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits. Gallegos…

There have not been many diamonds in the rough on the actual diamond for the Warhorse baseball team as they sat 1-4 in District 29-4A going into the final game of round one last night against Floresville.
Devine was looking to build on their recent 3-2 win against Pearsall which hopefully leads to a spot in the state playoffs later this month.
The “Heartbreak Kids” did not wind up feeling the heartbreak in this one as Devine’s 3-0 lead that they took into the top of the 6th inning wound up holding up as they held on for the 3-2 win at…
