FBLA National Qualifiers went all the way to San Antonio, TX last week for the conference. They competed with students all over the country as well as Canada and Puerto Rico. Although they did not place in the top 10 at the conference, they had an amazing experience. There were 18,000 people in attendance! We competed, attended workshops, watched others compete, and did some sightseeing! Thank you all so much for believing in our students and allowing them this amazing opportunity!!

🩶❤️ Back-to-Back Bombs for Kesley Reed! 🖤🤍
Congratulations to Kesley Reed on an incredible two-night stretch at the plate! 💥🥎
Kesley went back-to-back nights with home runs, launching one against Lynnville-Sully and following it up the very next night with another at home against Seymour in the Saints' final conference game of the season.
A junior, Kesley has been a member of the Melcher-Dallas Saints Home Run Club since her freshman year. She hit one home run as a freshman, two as a sophomore, and continues to add to her impressive career total this season.
Batting in the clean-up spot, Kesley has been a force in the middle of the lineup. She currently boasts a .481 batting average and an outstanding .552 on-base percentage, consistently producing for her team when it matters most.
We're proud of the hard work, dedication, and leadership Kesley brings to the field every day. Congratulations on another milestone season, Kesley! We can't wait to see what the rest of the season—and your senior year—have in store.
As the regular season comes to a close, the Saints now turn their focus to regional play, which begins Monday. We hope you'll come out and support the team as they continue their postseason journey. Let's keep the momentum rolling—Go Saints! ❤️🩶🖤🤍

🩶❤️ Picture-Perfect Swing for Ashlyn Metz! 📸🥎 🖤🤍
Congratulations to junior Ashlyn Metz on blasting her second career varsity home run during Friday night's home game against Seymour in the Saints' final conference game of the season!
Ashlyn first joined the Melcher-Dallas Saints Home Run Club as a sophomore, and she's added another long ball to her career total this season. As the Saints' junior catcher, Ashlyn has been a steady and dependable presence both behind the plate and in the batter's box.
Whether she's setting the tone in the leadoff spot, batting second, hitting behind the cleanup hitter, or filling another role in the lineup, Ashlyn has consistently found ways to contribute. She is currently batting .333 with an impressive .433 on-base percentage, while driving in key RBIs throughout the season.
Ashlyn's versatility, toughness, and team-first attitude make her an important part of the Saints' success. Her latest home run was truly a picture-perfect shot—a fitting accomplishment for someone who has such an eye for capturing great moments both on and off the field.
Congratulations on another career milestone, Ashlyn! We can't wait to see what you'll accomplish as the postseason gets underway.
The regular season may be complete, but the journey isn't over! The Saints begin regional play on Monday, and we'd love to see the community come out and cheer them on as they battle for a chance to keep the season alive.

Adults (18-54) = $140
