Crosby Cougar athletic excellence was on display again this year as our athletic teams represented our program with great pride across a number of sports. Our competitive culture can be seen in all our programs as we saw several individual and team accomplishments from the Fall and continued into the Spring. Our swim team advanced all swimmers to the regional meet this fall and saw two district champions and all but one swimmer was a sophomore or freshman! Our football team plays a competitive brand of ball and will return twelve underclassmen who gained valuable starting experience while having five players earn scholarship opportunities to play at the next level. In girls basketball, we saw our first playoff win since 2019, and we had a senior sign to play college basketball. Our boys basketball team will return many players from this year’s talented team, and we experienced a milestone victory in the career of head basketball coach Edwin Egans as he topped the 500 career win total; and ALL at Crosby! Both soccer teams made the playoffs and our boys advanced to the second round to cap off a great 19-5-2 campaign. Our boys soccer team also has a player signed to play at the next level. Softball continued its prideful tradition and finished 2nd in district and are ready to make a deep playoff run with an experienced roster; 5 of which signed to play college softball. Baseball has qualified for the ’24 playoffs and will have a TCU Baseball signee in the lineup as well as three other baseball signees. Our track teams won two invitational meets this season and had 15 area qualifiers, 9 Regional qualifiers and two hurdlers and a pole vaulter make the finals at the Regional meet. Our powerlifting team saw a boy and a girl lifter compete at the state meet with top 20 finishes for both. Golf qualified a golfer for regionals as well in a year that saw most of our athletic programs achieve beyond district. With so many of these athletes being underclassmen, the future is bright for the Cougars.
