Collin College Farmersille Fall

Quite a journey: Brothers moved from California to small town Farmersville

by | Aug 3, 2017 | Sports

Farmersville’s Lyle Hibbitts, along with his brother Clay Hibbits, had the opportunity to share time in the Farmers varsity baseball program during the 2016 and 2017 campaigns. File photo.

It’s hard enough moving to a new school, but try relocating from another state.

The Hibbitts family did just that making the trek from a large town in California to Farmersville.

Brothers CJ, Lyle and Clay arrived enrolled in FISD prior to the start of the 2014-’15 school year.

CJ was an incoming senior, Lyle a sophomore and Clayton was a seventh grader at the junior high.

“It was a big change. We went from a large town to a small one,” Lyle said.
