Shepherd High School -

Huge congratulations to Isabelle Hooper, our senior southpaw pitcher, on officially signing to play softball at UT Arlington! Isabelle has worked toward this moment since she was a little girl, and our entire community couldn’t be prouder.

With 343 innings pitched, 632 strikeouts, and a 2.38 ERA from freshman–junior years, Hoop has been a powerhouse for the Lady Pirates. Her hard work has earned her multiple district honors, including Pitcher of the Year, and a spot on Line Drive Media’s Top 100 Players in the Class of 2026 (#44).

Even more impressive, Isabelle is in the top 10 of her graduating class and plans to major in kinesiology to become a physical therapist.

We can’t wait to watch her shine this spring and continue her journey at the next level. Way to go, Hoop!
