High School Sports

San Marcos — The San Marcos Baptist Academy (SMBA) baseball and softball teams were well-represented on the TAPPS District 3-4A All-District teams with six players being named to the first-team and five to second-team.

In softball, three Lady Bears, junior third baseman Sarah Brown, sophomore first baseman Anastasia Parish, and sophomore outfielder Chloe Rocha, were named first-team All-District. Three seniors, second baseman Morgan Martin, outfielder Leresa Stokes, and pitcher Halie Dittemore, were named to the second team.

The Bear baseball team also placed three players on the first-team All-District squad. These were freshman pitcher Darby Rollins, sophomore shortstop Jake Marcum, and junior catcher Shelby Cole. Academy players named to the second team included junior infielder Sam Skipworth and senior outfielder Joel Fausett. Seniors Chase Jones, Devin Cavaco, and Alex Stark were named honorable mention all-district.

“We had exciting seasons in both baseball and softball,” Academy athletic director Toby Wade said. “Both teams earned berths to the playoffs by taking third place in district play.”
