Track and Field

Track and field is one of the most popular spring sports, and it's easy to see why. This sport requires a great deal of speed, agility, and endurance, and it's a great way for students to stay active and improve their fitness levels. Recently, high school track and field athletes have been breaking records and setting new personal bests. In this year’s district area meet, several athletes broke school records. The men’s team (Josh Smith, Sammy Omosigho, Kendrick Jones, and Deondre Bowman) placed 3rd and set a new CISD record in the 4x100 relay, running it in just 41.71 seconds. The men’s 4x200 relay team (Luke Moffit, Josh Smith, Kendrick Jones, and Kase Mumphry) came in 2nd place overall, setting a record of 1 minute and 26.81 seconds. Additionally, in the same event, high school athlete Ainsley Horn set a new record in the 300 hurdles, finishing in just 46.28 seconds.

Baseball

The Crandall High School Pirates baseball team concluded their season with an impressive performance in the 5A Region II District 14. They showcased their skills and determination throughout the season, resulting in an admirable record of seven wins and five losses. Their hard work and perseverance paid off as they secured a spot in the district playoffs, ultimately finishing in 4th place. The Pirates' exceptional performance led them to the bi-district finals, where they proved their grit as tough competitors. Although they fell short of claiming the bi-district championship, their journey as finalists highlights the talent and commitment they displayed on the field. The Crandall High School Pirates can be proud of their achievements and can look forward to building upon their success in future seasons.

Softball

The Lady Pirates' spring season for Crandall High School concluded with an exhilarating finale in their end-of-season softball tournament. The team battled lots of injuries and had to overcome a lot of adversity. With exceptional teamwork and strategic plays, the Lady Pirates managed to hold their own against opponents, displaying their unyielding determination and passion for the sport. The team had 14 Varsity athletes make Academic AllDistrict. Four athletes finished the season with over a .500 batting average. The Lady Pirates demonstrated that they are a force to be reckoned with, and their future endeavors in softball are destined to be filled with even greater success.
