The Yorktown Kitty Kat softball team opened up District 312A play this week and split their games. On Tuesday, March 5, 2024, Yorktown traveled to Three Rivers and the host Lady Bulldogs were not kind as they defeated the Kitty Kats, 10-0. Three Rivers’ pitching was very effective and held Yorktown to two base hits:a double by senior DJ Maciel and the other, a single by freshman Claire Person. On Friday, March 8, 2024, the Kitty Kats hosted the Runge Lady Jackets, who technically is in their district but does not count as a district opponent because they are Class 1A. Yorktown easily defeated Runge, 13-2. Yorktown freshman Kaylor Carriger struck out seven batters and only allowed two hits, as she picked up her second win of the season. Maciel scored three runs, while Carriger, junior Faith Everitt, and freshmen Rylie Krueger and Amaya Luna all scored twice. Freshman Paige Deleon had two RBIs, while Luna also stole two bases.

Spring sports have gotten underway for the Yorktown Athletic Department. With a slew of sports going on at the same time, most athletes can be found participating in something either on the track, at a field, or on the golf course. Athletic Director Ryan Knostman stated, “There are around 35-40 athletes participating in Track and Field this season and several Regional Qualifiers from last season are returning.”

Three Yorktown High School Kitty Kat powerlifters qualified for the Region Powerlifting Meet in Edinburg, Texas. The team competed on Monday, February 26, with all three lifters earning medals. The Kitty Kats are coached by Bruno Mata.

The Yorktown Kitty Kat 2024 Softball Season is underway, as the team already has two weeks under its belt. This is the second year with Coach Courtney Clark at the helm, and she hopes to improve on last season. Clark returns three players from last year’s team: Senior DJ Maciel and juniors Faith Everitt and Audrena Hernandez. After that, the Kitty Kats are infused with youth, as eight freshmen are listed on the varsity roster. “We are definitely young,” said Clark. “I’m hoping that by the time that district rolls around, we will be battle-tested.”
