Hawthorne wins state, set for Baylor 

ARLINGTON, Texas – Three-star athlete Lynx Hawthorne (Refugio, Texas) played his final game in a Refugio jersey Friday afternoon. He ended his high school career on top, as the Bobcats won the Texas Class 2A Division II state championship.

Shortly after celebrating with teammates, he focused his attention on his next-level goal – excelling in the Big 12. Hawthorne, a receiver for Refugio, committed to Baylor in May and could see time on both sides of the ball for the Bobcats. The 6-foot, 185-pound sparkplug reconfirmed his commitment with the Bears and will graduate high school early to enroll at Baylor in time for spring workouts.

“I’ve been solid since Day 1. Baylor’s where I want to be,” said Hawthorne, who caught four passes for a game-high 119 yards and a touchdown as Refugio edged Cisco (Texas), 36-35, at Cowboys Stadium.
