Breckenridge athletic teams have begun to kick off their spring leagues and other offseason programs. The girls’ basketball spring league took place for a period of four weeks at Mineral Wells, beginning Thursday, May 1 and ending yesterday, Tuesday, May 20. The Lady Bucks participated in the league, which offered a chance for players to work on their games and for coaches to see what they have.
Breckenridge Class of 2023 graduate Chase Lehr began competing in track and field his junior year at Breckenridge High School. He had primarily focused on football prior to that, before going on to win backto- back 3A state championships in the 800-meter dash in the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
The Lady Bucks’ 2025 softball season came to an end Thursday, April 17, with a 10-1 loss to Peaster, as they missed the playoffs with a 6-8 district and 10-15-1 overall record. Their hard work on and off the field all season may not have led to the result that they would have wanted, but it did not go unrecognized.
For a two-week period beginning Monday, April 28, the Breckenridge Lady Bucks hosted volleyball and basketball skills camps for girls from kindergarten through 6th grade in the auxiliary gym of the Athletics and Fine Arts Center.

Spring sports are now officially wrapped up for Breckenridge following Bucks baseball falling to Iowa Park in the bi-district playoffs Thursday, May 1. Cooper Wimberley had a strong performance in the bi-district matchup, which earns him this week’s Breckenridge American Boys Athlete of the Week.
Coming into their bi-district matchup Thursday, May 1 against the Iowa Park Hawks, the Bucks knew they would have to play a clean, near-perfect game. It started off that way, as they pounced early on Hawks’ pitcher AJ Ramirez and got a run on the board in the first inning. Getting to him early was exactly what needed to be done for the Bucks to have a shot at winning.
With spring sports winding down, tennis and baseball were the only sports in action last week. The baseball squad begins playoff competition this week, while the tennis season ended early last week at the district tournament.
Following the cancellation of their last regular season game Friday, April 25 at Tolar, the Buckaroos will enjoy a nine-day break before facing the Hawks in Iowa Park tomorrow, May 1, to commence the bi-district playoffs.
The Breckenridge boys and girls tennis teams competed in the District 8-3A tournament at Early High School early last week and saw their seasons come to an end Monday, April 21. Ryan Waller and Bry Armstrong were the two boys singles players to compete in the tournament, while Kenzie Blackman competed in girls singles and the girls doubles team of Maria Duran and Victoria Martinez also played.
