Austin, TX Credentialed Media — AUSL Texas Volts

About Us

An Independent Texas Sports Newsroom

Photography-first reporting, built to the standard of the programs we cover.

Hookem Sports is an independent sports media outlet covering Texas athletics with original photography and credentialed reporting by Anthony Rivera. We hold media credentials with the AUSL Texas Volts professional softball club, including press-box and field access — which means our coverage comes with real access, real context, and frames you won't see anywhere else.

What started as a photography page has grown into a publication. Our mission is simple: cover Texas sports — from the pros to the college game — with the craft and credibility they deserve, and to be a credentialed partner that programs and athletic departments can trust.

What We Stand For

Original Work, Always

Every photo and every story is produced by Hookem Sports. We own our content and we credential our access.

Real Access, Real Reporting

Credentialed press-box and field access lets us report with quotes and context — not just highlights.

Craft First

Broadcast-quality photography and editing. A single frame should tell the whole story.

Texas-Focused

Austin-based and Texas-centered, from the Volts to the college fields and courts we cover next.
