(Seguin) — Lady Matador softball players Madyson Schultze and Kendall Hurt signed on the dotted line during a college letter of intent signing ceremony at Seguin High School on Wednesday.
Both student-athletes are pitchers for the Lady Mats. They signed their letters ahead of the upcoming season which starts this month.
Kendall Hurt will play college softball at Lamar State College in Port Arthur. Kendall is a four-year letterman and a gold glove winner. She heads into her senior season coming off an all-district selection in her junior year. Kendall was the District 26-5A Pitcher of the Year in 2023. She plans to study nursing at Lamar State College and intends to become an RN after she completes her studies.
Kendall says she’s made a lifetime of friendships while playing for the Lady Mat softball program.
“I feel like the friendships I’m definitely gonna keep with me because I’ve made so many sisters here. And the coaches really made an impact on me, so I definitely want to take that with me.”
Madyson Schultze will attend Incarnate Word in San Antonio. She is also a gold glove winner and earned all-district and academic all-district accolades. Madyson will study health science at Incarnate Word with plans to be a physical therapist after graduation.
Madyson and her younger sister Morgan both play for the Lady Mat softball team. And Madyson says she will miss playing with her younger sibling.
“I’m gonna really miss playing with my sister in high school and growing up with everyone here. I’m gonna miss that.”
Kendall, Madyson and the Lady Matadors come into the 2024 season following an appearance in the UIL Bi-District round last year. Seguin will play at San Antonio Marshall this Saturday at noon. The Matador softball program is led by longtime head coach John Garcia.
