Riggs Martin Billings. 6/18/24. 7lbs 14oz. 20 1/2 inches long.
You are such a blessing and so loved already. Riggs is a very sweet baby and content with life. Bella will need more time to process that she has a brother!
We’re so happy you’re finally here!
Big Riggs! 🚚🚛💙👶🏻
Brooks and I are excited to announce that Baby Billings will be here in late July!
We heard the heartbeat today and got to see our baby for the first time. What a gift you are already!

I AM SHOOK! HSU softball is now top 3 in the ASC tournament. No one would have thought this possible, couldn’t be more proud of this team!!! We live to see another day of softball.
We were projected to finish in 12 place out of 12 teams. We now enter the tournament for the first time in five years at the
#4
seed. Let’s go Cowgirls!!
A year ago today I accepted the head coach position at HSU. Today I’m blown away to see how this vision God gave me for HSU softball has to come together. Thank you ahead of time to all the players and families who believe and are coming on this journey! God is good.
How cool that
@RawlingsSB
brought Jocelyn Alo and Kinzie Hansen to our field to test out the new bats for this season! Such a fun partnership and exposure for Maryville Softball. 🐶
I am so so proud of this team. We had nothing handed to us this game and they kept competing. It was the 18th inning in two days that Kaylen Washington threw and we beat the
#1
ranked team in 10 innings on their turf.
I thought I read this wrong at first. First coaching award ever. Thank you Krysten, Nicole, and Kayleigh for all your help this season!
Thank you everyone who supported us through the comeback season!

I came to HSU to build and environment and culture where girls can be real and grow together in Christ. Tonight I was amazed by this picture of the team going through scripture and discussing with one another. Truly encouraging to be a part of their faith journey!
A quick family photo at our Meet the Jacks Dinner! Thank you to everyone who came to support the program tonight. Only 12 days to go before the team hits the field 💙💛🐰

At the end of the day, will we give God the credit? For if we build this on something greater than ourselves, it won’t be shaken by pride or selfish ambition. We will be able to point to the one who deserves the praise. That’s the goal of this whole thing and we’ll see it through
5th year with HSU softball and I couldn’t ask for a better season or better people to coach. Thank you seniors for all you have done and returners we will be back to make a run next year!
What a year it has been for the Cowgirls!
✔️Won the most games in the program since 2009
✔️Finished 4th in regular season and 3rd in the tournament
But more than that this team conducted themselves with great character through competition. We are very proud of this team! 🤠
One season is in the books. I am blessed to be at such a great university that is centered around Christ. My goal this season was to define who we are and that each player knows that they are a child of God by the end. Thank you to all staff and spiritual mentors this season!
I never thought I’d play after college. I never held records, never was an All-American, but playing internationally happened to be on my path. I never thought I’d get to honor my grandpa that passed when I was a young girl. This sport is incredible.

This game is a journey of developing and training yourself to be a stronger individual. The process never stops, whether you’re out of college, in college, or looking for the right college. Your experience is what you make of it. Make the most of your opportunity!
Jesus you saved me in 2013 when my story could’ve ended differently. You gave me a purpose when I felt I had none. I just need to thank you for choosing me. You’ve already redeemed. You already won. Everything will be okay.
Happy 1st birthday to my Bella! You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. You’re determined, silly, and full of love and laughs. Happy 1st birthday ❤️
Happy Father’s Day to the man who has supported me through everything. This photo is just after my first home run at Kansas, walk-off in the bottom of the 9th. My dads voice and excitement probably pushed the ball out of the park. Happy Father’s Day to the big guy!
@ednaudin
A strong coach can make such a big impact in your life. Thank you
@coachmegsmith
for going above and beyond to help me overcome obstacles on and off the field. You are a big influence for why I coach now, to give to other players what you gave for me. I’ll be rooting for Marshall
I couldn’t be more proud of this team. We overcame adversity together and fought like a TEAM. It’s fun to coach this group and their love for the game and each other is amazing. Can’t wait to continue this journey!
#winstreak
100 wins at HSU! Thank you to
@HARDINSIMMONSAD
who hired me at 24 to start building the program. Thank you to all the players that poured their hearts into all 100 wins. HSU Softball is on the rise!
I am convinced that my team has THE most HSU spirit. We have many returners mentoring the incoming freshmen during Stampede week and the freshmen are excited to be Cowgirls! Year 3 here we go! 🤠🙌🏽
Strong women are formed through the adversity of the sport. We have a decision to rise or fall in a pressure situation. So do you want to rise or fall? Do you trust in God or in yourself?

(first hit for Team Mexico)
Happy 1 year anniversary to Brooks and our first day home with Bella!
You’ve been my best friend and a great husband, and I am even more happy to see you as a father.
Love you and can’t wait for what’s to come!
Fantastic turnout at our first prospect camp! I’m happy to see the excitement for Maryville softball and what the future holds for this program.

I feel this sense of loss and it’s not about the games. It’s about the potential time lost with my players to help them grow in their faith. That’s what I love the most and I pray this season doesn’t come to an end already!
Another great day for the Saints! First week of practice is complete then another arm added to the squad for next season. The future is looking bright! 🐶🐾❤️
Last time we took the field we were the underdogs. Youngest team in the conference and the youngest staff. No one thought we would make it as far as we did and it was such a journey to get there. I’m excited to see what God has in store for this season!

Just finished dinner with my Chanin Luz and Brooks in Abilene. Skipped the Bella Burger on the menu for a ribeye. The local gas station had a huge sale of BELLA merchandise. Okay. I am getting excited to meet her. Still waiting. Patiently.
I go home and the puppies celebrate their first birthday. This is the biggest celebration my family has had in years. I’m slightly concerned, but I’m glad I got some steak and cake. 🐶
Five years ago I accepted Christ and was baptized in Clinton Lake in Lawrence, KS alongside
@maggietietz
. It took me an entire year of reading the Bible to understand what Christ did. And when I discovered that my life was forever changed. Grace can do that to you!
Growing up I had no desiree to learn about Christ. I didn’t want to attend Christian schools because I didn’t want that affiliation. So I went to a state school, found myself in a pit and God pulled me out. At a city on a hill, Christ’s truth was shown. God find you where you are
We had a ball hit 225’ today at practice and almost broke a car window. I’d say that means we’re ready to play tomorrow. This coach is excited to play some competition in front of the HSU family! Games at 10am, noon, and 2pm. 🤠
Happy anniversary to my love! Seeing you become a father over the past year has been a blessing. I am thankful for our first two years of marriage and your support to go on this new adventure with me. Thank you for being the best dad and husband. We love you ❤️
