It’s softball season in Burnet, which means the Lady Dawgs Softball team is gearing up to hit the fields at full-swing. Scrimmages have already begun, and the Varsity Wimberley Tournament is fast approaching, kicking off on Feb. 12.
The Lady Dawgs come off a 12-14-1 season in 2025, placing third in district after being knocked out of playoff contention in a three-game series against Gatesville. The Lady Dawgs fought hard to win the second game of the series to force a third, but were unable to overcome the Hornets.
With a new season on the horizon, head coach Jayci Craig told DailyTrib that the team’s focus will be growth, teamwork, and representing their school.
“We are looking forward to the upcoming softball season and are excited to continue building a competitive, disciplined program,” Craig said. “Our focus will be on growth, teamwork, and representing our school with spirit, pride, and honor both on and off the field.”
