    Edna Cowgirl Haley Orsak is an athletic triple threat: she has played volleyball, basketball and softball every year of her high school career and has excelled in each sport, especially in her senior year. It’s safe to say she’s an unsung athlete because of her humbleness, but that quality isn’t unsurpassed by her talent, on the court or off. She’s graduating as her class salutatorian and is the Co-MVP of the Edna Cowgirls this season in softball.

    Edna Cowgirl Madison Kucera is an athlete like no other, and aside from it being common knowledge, more than one of her coaches has said it while speaking of her. She signed to play volleyball with the University of Houston this fall, and will be starting classes this summer. It's no doubt her college will be getting an impressive, competitive force, because the sound of her palm hitting a volleyball always left behind wide eyes and fans wanting more. Kucera's high school volleyball coach, Rachel Collins, said she is a tremendous athlete, and probably one of the most decorated to ever walk through Edna.
