Texas clinches Lone Star Showdown trophy for the 2024-25 school year over Texas A&M
Texas clinches Lone Star Showdown trophy for the 2024-25 school year over Texas A&M Texas has clinched the Cotton Lone Star Showdown trophy. The University of Texas Longhorns have clinched the 2024-25 Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown trophy, marking their seventh win in the rivalry series against Texas A&M. The annual competition, which includes all varsity men's and women's athletic events, was reimagined as the Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown prior to the current season. The Longhorns secured an 11-5 lead in the point standings following a baseball series sweep over the weekend. With only 2 points left to be decided in men's and women's outdoor track and field at the SEC Championships on May 15-17, Texas has an insurmountable lead. The Lone Star Showdown began before the 2004-05 season and lasted until 2011-12. It was brought back as the Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown for the 2024-25 season. Texas has now won the Lone Star Showdown in 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, and Holdings sponsors all head-to-head sports contests between Texas and Texas A&M in Austin and College Station. They also sponsor the year-long scoring system that determines the annual Lone Star Showdown rivalry series trophy winner. The history between the Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies began in 1894 with football. In 2011, Texas A&M joined the Southeastern Conference, which ended the schools' 118-year consecutive meetings. To continue the rivalry in other sports, the Lone Star Showdown was created in 2004. Each winner of a head-to-head matchup gets a point, and the school with the most points at the end of the year wins the series and the Lone Star Trophy.

A&M carried a 4-2 advantage into the bottom of the sixth inning before Texas surged ahead with three runs, taking a 5-4 lead. Caden Sorrell tied the game in the top of the seventh with a solo home run, marking the final run for A&M in the matchup. Texas regained the lead with a solo home run late in the game. In a critical moment, Kaeden Kent hit into a double play with one out and two runners on base, sealing the Aggies' tough loss.
