FLY EAGLES FLY: No. 1 Barbers Hill wins first-ever UIL Softball State Championship

Joshua Koch
Jun 06, 2021

AUSTIN - They just knew that this was their year.

After COVID-19 took away the 2020 season, Barbers Hill knew they had a legitimate shot at not just getting to Austin and the UIL State Softball Tournament but winning it all.

"This year we knew," Barbers Hill senior Sophia Simpson, the Class 5A State Championship game MVP, said. "It was redemption for all of us with COVID taking away [last season]. We needed it."

Barbers Hill defeated Hallsville on Friday 6-0 to notch its first-ever state tournament win and then on Saturday, it was Simpson's show. The University of Texas-signee put on a clinic from the very circle she will call home for the next four years.

Simpson tossed a complete game, striking out 14 - including the last batter - and holding Aledo to one run en route to a 4-1 victory for Barbers Hill winning the Class 5A State Championship.

FLY EAGLES FLY!!!!!! @bh_softball defeats Aledo 4-1 and wins the programs first ever #UILState Championship!! @sophiaaa_simp strikes out the final batter for No. 14 of the game. @faithguidryy @sam_leigh02 @BHISD @reagan_duty @KPRC2RandyMc @KPRC2Ari @MaxPreps @TXPrepSoftball pic.twitter.com/jbcLU1LCL9

"It means everything to this team, this program, this community, this school," Barbers Hill coach Aaron Fuller said. "I think the community and the school could sense it, they could taste it all year long. They knew that this group was a very talented group and had been playing well all year.

"The support we've gotten from the community and the school has been unreal."

C.E. King sophomore Dillon Mitchell claims a gold medal in a monumental 100m Dash (9.92)

Matthew Ogle (VYPE)

Last week’s fittingly dramatic close to the track season brought teams and fans from across Texas to Austin, each chasing a share of the state titles.

In 6A, Tompkins set the tone early with gold in the boys’ 4x100 relay before adding a runner-up finish in the 4x200. Paired with Blake Hamilton’s wind-aided 200m — an eye-opening mark that set a new all-conditions high school national record — the Katy ISD program surged to its first-ever state championship, finishing with 47 points. Byron Nelson (27) and Shadow Creek (24) followed close behind.
