"This is the first annual Classic for the girls, we decided to join with the boys this year and have a softball tournament as well." Said Schumacher. "We also collected money at the gate and were able to use that money to donate $1,000.00 to the American Cancer Society as well. "
It was a 10-8 semi-finals victory over Brownfield that would advance Lockney into the final round against a tough ranked Ralls team.

The Lady Horns played the #8 ranked Ralls Lady Jackrabbits in the final game, where Ralls took an early 6-1 lead after two innings, and would add another pair to take the game 8-1.
"This is the first year for us to play a U.I.L. schedule, we have come a long way and have some kid's doing great things. Devin Caballero has been doing a great job on the mound and we seem to be improving each game!
In the end Lockney would have three players named to the all-tournament team. They were Lindsie Moerbe, Devin Caballero, and Sunny Williams.
"We have a new edition this year in Lindsie Moerbe, she grew up playing softball down in South Texas, and has been around the game a lot." Said Schumacher "She brings a lot of experience to the field and that helps us out."
"We've had a really great response to this program so far, and are really looking forward to expanding it in the future."
