Plano and Rock Hill softball teams played their first round of 2026 district games on March 17 at Plano’s new field. Despite abundant sunshine for the JV game (which Plano won), by the varsity game the cold wind in the dark made it feel colder than many February games. To make conditions worse for the varsity game, the teams were tied by the 7th inning, pushing the game later into the night. By the bottom of the 9th Plano broke the tie in dramatic fashion, overcoming an interim lead by Rock Hill and snatching victory from the cold jaws of defeat. To view Plano varsityRead More →

The first 2026 district softball game between the Plano Wildcats and the Plano East Panthers was a “Home Game” for the Lady Panthers on March 13. Because Plano East’s softball field is under renovation, “Home” for the Lady Panthers in 2026 is the Naaman Forest High School softball field, in Garland. So, on Friday the 13th, in Garland, the Lady Wildcats JV handily won their game, and the varsity game went to the bottom of the 7th when the Lady Panthers broke the tie to notch a 5-4.

The Plano Lady Wildcats hosted the first 2026 district softball game against McKinney Boyd on March 10, with concerns about predicted incoming storms. As a hedge against a rain-out the order of play was changed, with varsity teams to play first at 5 p.m. and the JV game after conclusion of the varsity game. The lead of the varsity game see-sawed, and it looked like it was going to go into extra innings until Plano punched out of the tie in the bottom of the 7th for a 7-6 win. The JV game went to the Lady Broncos, 10-6. To view Plano varsity action photosRead More →

The first 2026 district game between the Plano Lady Wildcats and the Prosper Lady Eagles was moved up a day, to March 5, to get ahead of forecast thunderstorms on the 6th. Prosper was the host and the Lady Wildcats did them no favors by jumping out to an early lead and never looking back, coming close to 10-run-ruling the Lady Eagles.

The Plano Softball team braved the excruciating traffic between Plano and Princeton on Feb. 27 to play their first 2026 district game against Princeton at the home of the Lady Panthers, who created an awkward fashion moment by wearing almost the same color scheme uniforms as Plano’s “Away” uniforms. Undaunted, the Lady Wildcats swept both JV and varsity games, going home early after the fifth inning of the varsity game 15- zero.

The first 2026 district softball games against Allen were also the first district games hosted in Plano’s new field. It was also Future Wildcats Softball night, where dozens of young prospective players were recognized on the field between games and in the stands between innings during the varsity game. On a sour note for the Wildcats, the Eagles swept both games of the evening. To view photos of Plano Future Softball Wildcats PLEASE CLICK HERE.

The Plano varsity softball team has been participating in the annual Allen Softball Tournament held at the Allen Station softball complex Feb. 19-21, 2026, and I dropped in on the afternoon of the 21st to photograph Plano’s game against Flower Mound at 1 p.m., followed by their scheduled game against Eaton at 3 p.m. After a protracted delay, Flower Mound forfeited, and the Eaton game was moved up to start at 2:15 p.m. Apparently the unplanned 75 minute delay put the Wildcats out of competitive rhythm as neither their bullpen nor bats seemed to warm up. Eaton earned a 19-1 win. To view Plano gameRead More →
