Last year, Lake Creek reached the Regional Finals before falling short to Lake Belton. Second-year coach Candyce Carter is ready to get the Lions back to the State Tournament, after winning the Class 5A State Championship in 2022 and 2023, and has the talent to do so.
Nine players are currently committed to play college softball. Six starters return for Carter including University of North Carolina-commit Madalyn Davis, who was the District 17-5A Offensive Player of the Year in 2024. She was also a TGCA All-State and THSCA Super Elite Team selection.
Wichita State-commit Sara Wiggins (TSWA All-State, TGCA All-State), McNeese State University-commit Gracee Brewer (first-team, all-district, second-team, all-region) and Texas State-commit Chesney Davis (firstteam, all-district) are also set to return.
Other players to watch include Maggie Hayward (Hilsdale College-commit), Abby Estay (Abilene Christian University-commit), Miranda Orso- (McLennan Collegecommit), Addie Davis (University of Houston-commit), Laney Galloway (McNeese State University-commit), Annelise Torres and Maci Nowak.
