UIL State Softball: Benavides tosses shutout, Deer Park wins third state championship

Joshua Koch
Jun 06, 2021

AUSTIN - Amy Vidal-Bush likes an underdog.

For her, senior pitcher Hannah Benavides is that underdog. The pitcher, who doesn't even hit 5-feet on the height scale, does things that pitchers her size don't usually do.

One of those is tossing back-to-back shutouts in the Class 6A State Semifinals and championship game to clinch Deer Park's third state championship with a 1-0 victory over Converse Judson on Saturday night.

"You don't have a lot of pitchers that throw back-to-back shutouts that are not five foot," Vidal-Bush said. "I think she's probably 4-10 and so she doesn't have the torque. She's not supposed to be able to throw the ball hard or make it bend. It's just work ethic. She works so hard. There's a point at least once a week I have to tell her, we've got to lay off a little bit.

"If it were up to her she'd pitch every single night, throw a full bullpen, throw to live batters because she wants to win."

DEER NATION!!!! For the THIRD time in program history @DeerPark_SB are STATE CHAMPIONS as they defeat Converse Judson 1-0 for the Class 6A State Championship #UILState @KPRC2RandyMc @HTownHSS @hannahb_2003 @dpisdathletics @DPISD_South @DPISD @MadisonApplebe @KPRC2Ari pic.twitter.com/tYeLj8UTrl

On My Whistle Podcast | Is TCU-commit Daulton the best QB ever at The Woodlands High?

VYPE
14 Jul, 2025

The Woodlands has long been a breeding ground for elite quarterbacks — from Chance Mock (Texas) to Eric Schmid (Sam Houston State) to Mabrey Mettauer (Sam Houston State). But could Jack Daulton top them all?

The incoming senior has all the tools: blazing speed, a high football IQ, and a cannon for an arm. His skill set has made him a national recruit, and he gave his verbal pledge to TCU earlier this year.
