Women's Basketball / Spring '26 Heindl Center Season

Coach LaTaryl Williams (NWCC Women’s Basketball)

Head coach LaTaryl Williams previews NWCC’s fast-paced, three-happy style heading into the Nov. 1 opener, built around all-conference forward Lauren Story (double-double threat), a bigger sophomore frontcourt, and floor general Layla Hampton at point. Williams recaps a productive 3–1 preseason (Memphis jamboree + campus jamboree), underscores the program’s 100% graduation rate, and outlines a heavyweight nonconference slate—Three Rivers (Nov. 10, home) plus Texas road tests vs. Trinity Valley, Blinn, and Kilgore—to sharpen the Rangers for MACCC play.

Dr. Blake Bostick (Heindl Center for the Performing Arts)

Director Dr. Blake Bostick unveils a stacked Spring ’26 lineup at the Heindl Center: Pam Tillis & Lorrie Morgan(Grits & Glamour), the Broadway tour of Meredith Willson’s The Music Man (Saturday night engagement), a keynote with Archie Manning, Blue Man Group, Larry the Cable Guy, Riverdance 30 – The New Generation, and The Bacon Brothers to close the season. He details ticket options—full season, six-pack, pick-three, and single-show—plus fall-winter extras like Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, community theatre (Annie Jr.), movie nights (WickedElf), and holiday favorite Postmodern Jukebox.
