Pearland HS softball making a run for 4th state championship in school history
The Lady Oilers want to cherish every moment and hope the season ends with laughter and more sombreros stacked after lifting the state championship trophy in Austin.
The Pearland High School Lady Oilers are ranked No. 2 in the state in softball. They have been playing together since they were young and now have reached the A Division I regional championship after eliminating Cy Ridge 2-0 in their best-of-three regional semifinal series.
They are a serious group on the field focused on winning. But after the game, during the postgame interviews, well, they like to have fun with each other. The Lady Oilers are stacking wins like they stack sombreros, gloves, and other things on their teammates' heads during postgame interviews.
"How do you talk with everything else going on here? " ABC13 sports producer Joe Gleason asked. "It's a little much, but I think I look cut still," senior Madelyn Guzman said.
There's a time for fun and a time to be serious. On the field, they are all business. "The second you look at us, you see, we always pick up one another, someone's helping someone else on the field," senior shortstop Elaina Njus said.
