SECOND CHANCE
Used predominantly as a pinch-runner in her one season at Arizona, Amber Toven is arguably the best defensive shortstop in Baylor softball program history and a career .300 hitter with 11 home runs, 25 doubles and 85 RBIs.
SHE'S UNSTOPPABLE
If Payton Washington says she's going to work in the White House one day, I wouldn't bet against it. A victim of gun violence herself three years ago, the junior top/tumbler from Baylor's top-ranked Acrobatics & Tumbling team wants to bring back the Office of Gun Violence Prevention and possibly start a non-profit organization for survivors of gun violence.
A BENCH ASSIST
But it was assistant coach Aaron Sternecker and his iPad that came up big in the game's pivotal moment with 3:48 left, when he suggested that head coach Nicki Collen challenge a call on the court of a held ball, resulting in a flagrant foul against Nebraska's Jessica Petrie and a three-point possession in the Bears' 67-62 win over the Cornhuskers.
DESIGNATED CLOSER
When Baylor shortstop Travis Sanders sees Caleb Bunch coming out of the bullpen for the ninth inning, he pretty much knows, "It's game over."
LEAVING A LEGACY
In the changing world of college football, with the transfer portal, NIL and roster limits, a rags-to-riches story like Josh Cameron's may never happen again. But what a story it's been. A zero-star recruit when he signed with Baylor out of Cedar Park High School as a preferred walk-on in 2021, Cameron developed into an All-American punt returner, one of the top receivers in the country and a legitimate prospect for next month's NFL Draft.
500 AND COUNTING
In his 23 seasons at Baylor, Scott Drew has had some memorable Senior Night games, but nothing like this. On a night when the Bears honored first-year seniors Obi Agbim, Caden Powell, Michael Rataj and Dan Skillings Jr., Baylor dominated the Utah Utes, 101-75, at Foster Pavilion for Drew's 500th career win.
THE BAYLOR CONNECTION
Somewhere, stashed away in Connie Powell Nichols' treasured keepsakes, is a picture of a young Caden Powell standing next to Scott Drew at a Baylor basketball camp. It was a connection that eventually brought the 6-foot-10 Powell back to Waco for his senior year of college basketball after stops at Wyoming and Rice.
LETTING HER LIGHT SHINE
And it was basketball that paved the way for Bella Fontleroy to come to Baylor four years ago. A five-star recruit at Kickapoo High School, she averaged 24 points and 11 rebounds as a senior in leading the Lady Chiefs to Missouri's Class 6 state championship game and earning Gatorade Player of the Year honors in the state.
‘IT’S THE VALIDATION’
After three years of "taking our licks," Baylor men's tennis is proving that "we do belong," defeating three-consecutive top-10 teams in reaching the ITA National Team Indoor Championship semifinals.
FINDING FAITH AND FAMILY
After initially struggling with "imposter syndrome" as a competitive rider, Lauren Stebbins said she has seen her confidence grow "the more that I competed and the more time I had in the saddle, on our horses and away horses, too, and especially the more points that I won."
