Hall of Fame induction for Seimone Augustus brings a Lions' Pride and legacy into the spotlight.

Jul 15, 2019

By Robin Fambrough

The Instagram post Seimone Augustus made last month from Minnesota has made the rounds. Instead of wearing practice gear or something in a Minnesota Lynx blue, Augustus wore her gold Capitol jersey.

"My wife called because she was so excited to see Seimone in that Capitol High jersey," former Capitol coach Alvin Stewart said. "Seimone never forgets where she came from. She's proud to be from Baton Rouge, Capitol and LSU and she shows it. And we're proud of her. Those are her true colors, too."

Augustus, who starred for Stewart at Capitol from 1998-2002, is part of a star-studded class being inducted into the National High School Sports Hall of Fame at 5 p.m. Sunday in Indianapolis. Former NFL star Derrick Brooks, Major League Baseball player and manager Dusty Baker and Indiana basketball legend Damon Bailey are in the class too.

VYPE DFW 2021 Baseball Preview

After a very abbreviated 2020 schedule, the 2021 season is just underway with pretty much every team in the area getting started over the weekend - some already with a handful of games under their belts.

The mostly lost season a year ago has baseball coaches, players and fans/parents antsy to make sure the entire year plays out, culminating with crowning state champions across all classifications and organizations.

With that said, we're going to try a new spin on the previews. We'll introduce power rankings in a couple weeks after a good amount of games have been played.

What we'll do instead is highlight a team we think has a high chance to win state, a team that could be dark horse in that class as well as a preseason player to watch in each class.

Team to Beat: Prosper

Simply put, Prosper is the best team in the state by Diamond Pro/THSB. Prosper went 11-2 in the abbreviated 2020 season and returns 10 starters from that team that looked to be headed toward a deep playoff run.

Junior catcher Easton Carmichael, Jr. and senior shortstop Chase Pendley are the headliners for a team laced with talent up and down the lineup.

6A Dark Horse: Dallas Jesuit

Like Prosper, Jesuit is a team that has double-digit returning starters (10) for a team that was off to a very solid start in 2020. Before things shut down, Jesuit was off to an 8-4 start.

Jesuit is led by senior infielder Jordan Lawlar, a Vanderbilt commit.

Preseason Player to Watch: Tyler Collins, McKinney Boyd

Collins is an Oklahoma State-bound outfield from McKinney Boyd. Last year, Collins started the year with a .486 average with 2 doubles, 2 triples, a home run and 18 runs scored.

Collins has made an impact for McKinney Boyd since his freshman year and has continually gotten better each season.
