Yellow Jackets Set for Busy Weekend Across Texas

Postseason Basketball, Road Tennis, Home Baseball and The Inaugural Beach Volleyball Home-stand Highlight HPU Weekend

Howard Payne Athletics is packing suitcases and setting alarm clocks early this weekend as the Yellow Jackets split between tournament hardwood, road courts, and home diamond action.
Tennis Opens the Trip in Seguin and Sherman. 

The Howard Payne men's and women's tennis teams will open their weekend on Friday, Feb. 27 in Seguin, Texas, taking on Texas Lutheran University. From there, the Yellow Jackets will reload and head to Sherman for a matchup against Austin College on Sunday, March 1st.
The back-to-back road swing will test depth and endurance, with doubles points and tight singles courts likely to play a major role. It is a full weekend of mileage and match points as both squads look to stack momentum early in the spring slate. Both teams are coming off wins in their last outing and look to keep the momentum going. 

Basketball Heads to the ASC Tournament as Postseason basketball has arrived.
Howard Payne men's and women's basketball will travel to Abilene, Texas, on Friday, Feb. 27 for the first round of the ASC Tournament hosted by Hardin-Simmons University.
The Lady Jackets with an incredible conference run, earned the #2 seed and tip off at noon against East Texas Baptist University in a win or go home matchup to open tournament play. Later that evening, the Yellow Jacket men will take the floor at 7:30 p.m. against tournament host Hardin-Simmons University.
Round one brings immediate intensity. Every possession tightens, every defensive stop echoes a little louder, and every trip down the floor carries extra weight. Both squads will look to extend their seasons and make noise in Abilene.

Baseball Returns Home for a Three Game Stand.
While some Jackets travel, baseball returns to Brownwood.
Howard Payne will host Southwestern University for a three-game home stand at Don Shepard Park. The series begins Friday night at 6:00 p.m. under the lights before shifting to a Saturday double header. First pitch is set for 1:00 p.m., with game two to follow at 3:30 p.m.
A home series brings rhythm and routine back into focus. The Jackets will look to defend their field, string together quality innings, and build momentum across the weekend set. The Jackets are coming off a big road win scoring 19 runs on Tuesday and look to pick up where they left off. 

Beach Volleyball Makes History.
Beach Volleyball will be at home for their first ever home matches in HPU school history. The momentous occasion is certain to generate a lot of buzz for a blossoming program. Fresh off their first tournament ever, The Lady Jackets will look to bring that momentum home in front of the very first fans ever to celebrate this historic day. Matches to be played at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. against Schreiner University.

From Seguin to Sherman, Abilene to Brownwood, it is a weekend filled with road tests, tournament tension, and home field opportunity for Howard Payne Athletics.
