Following a pandemic shortened 2020 season in which Ennis posted a 5-5-1 record, the Lions are eager to play a normal campaign, or as close as possible.

Softball nor baseball are known for the presence of cheerleaders. They don’t need them either.

Ferris (16-11) managed to do what only Italy did in boys basketball season, win a play-in game to make the playoffs, plus both squads had a winning record.

What a season it was for the Olde Gold from Italy. They rolled 12-0 through District 12-2A, then added playoff victories in the Bi-District and Area rounds before coming up short to No. 8 ranked Lipan in the Regional Quarterfinals.

It came, it went and no one answered the door. But it sure did knock a number of times.

Ennis junior pitcher Aubree Lalani (11) fires a pitch during the early innings on Tuesday at Midlothian. The Lady Lions held a 3-2 lead on the strength of a monster HR by Mattie Beakley in the first and solid work in the circle by Lalani.
