With only two losses this season, the Forney Lady Jackrabbits have been dominating over their opponents. In the regional semifinal round, they're set to face off against the newest team in the metroplex: the Prosper Walnut Grove Lady Wildcats! VYPE DFW takes a look at the Lady Jackrabbits' season so far:
Having outscored their opponents by a combined 305 runs this season, the team has had powerful performances on the plate that has continued to lead them to impressive victories. In non-district play, the team showcased impressive skill as they took down the likes of Plano East (2-1), Midlothian Heritage (11-2), Prosper (16-4), Midway (10-8), McKinney Boyd (11-1), Conroe (6-5), and more before heading into district play.
Once in district play, the team was able to finish at the top of their district standings with an undefeated (12-0) district record. Getting the job done against their area opponents like Lancaster (22-0), Terrell (18-0), Crandall (14-1), Aledo (1-0), and others, the team showcased their ability to dominate the field whether it was while playing defense or batting.
Channeling the energy they've had all season long, the team defeated Princeton in two games to start their playoff journey this season (10-0, 11-1) before taking down Mount Pleasant in three games (9-1, 0-0, 16-0) and then coming back to win the series against Lucas Lovejoy after dropping the first game (0-3, 11-1, 4-1).
As the team prepares for Walnut Grove, it's clear that they have what it takes to shut down this new team's advances. However, if Forney does take the series, it will be no easy feat nor will it be a given victory for the Lady Jackrabbits. Walnut Grove has the potential to be the toughest opponent the Lady Jackrabbits have seen all season. Check out this series as it begins at 7 p.m. tonight, Thursday, May 16th!

At Frisco Emerson's softball field on Wednesday evening, you might have thought you made the trek to Melissa instead. With a packed crowd, the team fought for a 2-0 victory over Frisco Wakeland in game one of the regional semifinal round of 5A softball playoffs. VYPE DFW takes a look at the team so far:
With only two losses on the season-- one in non-district play and one in district play-- the Melissa Lady Cardinals have put on a show for their fans this year. Posting several dominant victories in non-district play over the likes of Waxahachie (18-0), Aledo (11-2), Crandall (21-0), Plano East (16-0), Frisco Lone Star (10-0), and more, it was obvious that the Lady Cardinals were bringing something special to the diamond this season.
As the team entered district play, they continued to power over their opponents. Led by Caigan Crabtree, Kennedy Bradley, Lulu Adrian, Amariee Bradford, Emily Johnson, Eloisa Maes, Alex Starr, and other talented athletes, the team showed impressive poise through each game as they secured a first-place finish in their district standings with an 11-1 district record. Melissa's demanding presence on the field and at the plate powered the team to impressive shutout victories including those over Bullard (6-0), Greenville (11-0), Sherman (9-0), Denison (17-0), McKinney North (15-0), and more en route to the playoffs.
Once in the playoffs, Melissa sent home Ennis (15-0) and Huntsville (5-1) before defeating Kingwood Park (7-6, 3-2) in a two-game series last week. This week, their regional semifinal round against Frisco Wakeland began with a bang and a packed house as the team posted a 2-0 victory on Wednesday night:
