South San Antonio High School student-athlete Avannah Cuevas earned KSAT-12 Athlete of the Week recognition, highlighting her achievements in softball, academics, and community leadership.
A member of the South San Lady Bobcats varsity softball team, Cuevas, who wears jersey #5, has built an impressive record of accomplishments throughout her high school career. The Class of 2027 student-athlete has demonstrated dedication both on and off the field while representing South San Antonio.
During the 2023–2024 season, Cuevas earned First Team All-District and Academic All-District honors while helping the Lady Bobcats secure a District Championship.
Her success continued in the 2024–2025 season, when she earned District Honorable Mention and NFCA All-American Scholar-Athlete recognition. The Lady Bobcats also captured another District Championship that year.
In the 2025–2026 season, Cuevas added several more achievements to her record. She received a San Antonio Express-News Game Ball on April 6, 2026, and earned First Team All-District, Academic All-District, and NFCA Eastern All-American Scholar-Athlete honors.
Beyond high school softball, Cuevas has competed with Bomber Academy for five years, traveling across the country to face some of the nation’s top softball players. Her experience has helped her develop into a competitive third baseman while strengthening her teamwork, discipline, and leadership skills.
Her accomplishments extend beyond athletics. Cuevas maintains a 4.0 GPA, ranks in the top 10 percent of her class, and participates in Early College and dual enrollment programs. She is also involved in the National Honor Society, Student Council, and National Society of Leadership and Success.
Community involvement has remained another important part of her journey. Through the Soy Latina Mentorship Program, Cuevas continues developing her leadership skills while volunteering with the Parent Child Incorporated Head Start Program.
Her selection as a KSAT-12 Athlete of the Week recognized years of dedication and reflected the support of her family, coaches, teammates, educators, and mentors.
For South San Antonio, Cuevas’ recognition was another example of the talented young people making a difference in their schools and communities.
