Friday night at Bulldog Park, Carthage High School will host a special pregame ceremony as part of the Scott Lee Invitational when the Liberty Panthers take on the Carthage Bulldogs. Prior to first pitch, we will honor former Head Baseball Coach Scott Lee and celebrate his Hall of Fame career and lasting impact on Bulldog Baseball. Coach Lee served as the head coach at Carthage High School for 23 seasons, compiling an impressive 511–163 record with 17 district championships, 20 playoff appearances, four state tournament appearances, and state championships in 1990 and 2005. He also served as a UIL Regional Advisor and as a member of the THSBCA Board of Directors, was named the National Federation of High Schools Texas Coach of the Year and Southwest Sectional Coach of the Year in 2005, and was inducted into the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2019. Former players, family members, and friends are invited to join Coach Lee on the field as we recognize his tremendous contributions to Carthage ISD and the baseball program. Following the presentation and player introductions, members of the Battlin’ Bulldog Band under the direction of Todd Dock will perform the National Anthem. The evening will also feature a ceremonial first pitch thrown by Daniel Hodges, a member of the Class of 1991 and the starting pitcher who threw a complete game in the Bulldogs’ 9–3 victory in the 1990 State Championship game, securing the first baseball state title in school history. The Bulldogs are led by Head Coach John Goodwin and his staff, and Friday night promises to be a meaningful celebration of tradition, excellence, and the proud history of Carthage Baseball.

Carthage Athletics is heading into one of the busiest weeks of the spring season as our Bulldog student-athletes compete across the region in golf, baseball, softball, soccer, track, and tennis.

The week wraps up Saturday with Softball continuing the Lady Dawg Classic, Varsity Baseball hosting the Scott Lee Invitational, and both JV teams finishing tournament play in Longview and Jasper. Spring athletics in Carthage means long hours, multiple venues, and tremendous commitment from our student-athletes, coaches, families, and supporters. We are proud of the dedication and hard work that continue to define Bulldog Athletics.

The Carthage Lady Dawgs earned statewide recognition this week following strong performances during predistrict play. Freshman pitcher Josie Stephens was named THSSB 4A Pitcher of the Week Runner-Up after throwing 13 innings, allowing just seven hits and one earned run while striking out 24 and issuing only one walk. Her week was highlighted by a perfect game against West Rusk. Senior Brooklyn Bagley also received THSSB 4A Hitters of the Week Honorable Mention honors after going 9-for-13 at the plate with five doubles, two home runs, 11 RBIs, three runs scored, and four walks. While these games came during early-season competition, the recognition reflects the steady progress and hard work of the Lady Dawgs as they continue preparing for district play and representing Carthage with pride.
