THREE TAKEAWAYS
The Taylor Ducks varsity soccer teams are hitting their stride at the perfect time, with the boys and girls winning 12 of their last 13 combined matches.
For the Lady Ducks, freshman Sam Schroeder has been a key addition to an already talented roster, scoring three goals in her last two games.
The boys team started district play 3-4 but has since won six straight, positioning itself as a serious postseason contender with just a few weeks remaining in the regular season.
Talley a bright spot for struggling Ducks
The Taylor Ducks varsity baseball team has struggled early this season, dealing with issues both at the plate and on the mound. The Ducks hold a 1-3-1 overall record and have yet to replace key production from last season.
However, freshman pitcher Tayden Talley has emerged as a bright spot. In two appearances, Talley has allowed just four runs over 10 innings while striking out 11 batters.
Taylor will need Talley to provide consistency as the team looks to turn its season around.
Errors plague Lady Ducks softball
Defensive struggles have hurt the Taylor Ducks varsity softball team, which has committed more than 20 errors in its last five games. The most recent example came in a 10-4 loss to Marble Falls, where the Lady Ducks committed four errors that led to two unearned runs.
Taylor has shown flashes of strong play but must clean up its fielding issues to find success this season.
