BLEED PURPLE: No. 4 Fulshear expecting another run to State

Few softball teams in Texas are as scorching as Tomball right now. The surge is hardly surprising, especially after last season’s breakthrough run that carried the Cougars four rounds deep into the postseason.

What makes their rise even more notable is how recent it’s been. After years of finishing just outside the playoff picture, the group has transformed into a bona fide contender with Alyssa Thompson now in her third season at the helm.
