OLYMPICS

Simone Biles, at age 24, soared even higher. The gymnastics superstar claimed her record seventh U.S. title Sunday night as she delivered another stunning and easy performance that served little doubt. The pressure surrounding her bid to become the first woman to win back-to-back Olympic championships in more than 50 years is only pushing her to even greater heights.

NJCAA

The University of Texas will have quite the presence in Indianapolis at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials beginning on Sunday. Twelve athletes will represent the Forty Acres at the trials, and both current and former athletes will compete over the one-week trial period.

HIGH SCHOOL

Last Thursday, in Rains’ 3A state title softball game, they beat Diboll 11-5. It was Rains’ second straight state title. For Diboll, it was the first-ever state championship game. Diboll’s Hailey Fuentes set a state record with eight hits in her two state tournament games. That is the most ever in a 3A state UIL softball state tournament.

Pleasant Grove takes on Stephenville in the early semifinal of the UIL state baseball tournament Wednesday at UFCU Disch-Falk Stadium.
