📈 STOCK UP

🔼 It’s A Buggs Life. Last season, Darianna Littlepage-Buggs ended the year with three straight double-digit performances.

On Thursday night, the junior carried that momentum into 2024-25 with a HUGE opening night performance in Baylor’s 85-33 victory over Incarnate Word.

She finished with 25 points, including the first two three-pointers of her career. Colorado transfer Aaronette Vonleh added 16 points and Jana Van Gytenbeek scored 10 points with five assists.

🔼 Chart Climbers. Move over TSwift. We’ve got our own chart climbers here in Waco.

After scoring a big home upset of #6 Fresno State this past weekend, the Baylor equestrian squad returned to the top-10 nationally in the latest poll, ranking ninth this week.

Up next is another big test for the Bears with a trip to Dallas on Saturday to battle #5 SMU.

🔼 Heart Of A Bear. Many folks have seen and cheered on Payton Washington and the reigning nine-time national champion Baylor acrobatics & tumbling squad.

But her story of determination, relentlessness and the power of the Baylor fam goes far beyond the mat.

Check out this latest story from ESPN Outside the Lines on Payton’s story.
