My name is Isabella Carlin and I am a sophomore at The Woodlands College Park High School. I am a member of National Charity League, DECA, and am a violinist in the CP Orchestra. I am also a staff writer for the CP Paladin Newspaper. I enjoy traveling, watching Astros baseball, and trying new restaurants. In the future, I hope to study journalism and media in college. My dream is to work for a major newspaper or magazine company. I enjoy the VYPE U program because I get the opportunity to cover all of the talented athletes at my school and get to build my journalism portfolio in the process. I also enjoy getting recognized for my writing and sharing College Park's stories with the Houston sports community. This year I am most excited to cover CP baseball, football, and track!
VYPE U: TWCP Softball Suffers Tough Loss to Oak Ridge
Last Wednesday, the College Park and Oak Ridge softball teams met to play their district game in front of a large crowd of Cavalier and War Eagle fans at College Park. The Cavaliers entered the game having won their past 4 games and tournaments and the War Eagles entered being ranked first in Class 6A.
In the first inning, an Oak Ridge home run and 2 additional runs hurt the Cavaliers but they looked to battle back.
Pitcher Grace Fanset kept Oak Ridge scoreless for the next 3 innings, but College Park had difficulty scoring due to Oak Ridge's tough defense. By the end of the 5th inning, the score was 7-0.
Cavalier Ava McCracken's double brought in the only run of the game for CP. The final score was 11-1.
The Cavaliers put up a strong fight but the War Eagles' offense was unstoppable. Check out some photos below!
