The stars of 2025-26 Clear Creek Softball

No. 20 -- Clear Creek Wildcats
Few could have predicted that last year’s Clear Creek squad would reset the standard. Yet the League City team broke the mold in 2025, proving that in this sport, anything is possible when a group has the will to achieve it. With coach Katherine Morton back at the helm, the Wildcats aim to recapture the magic of their 20-8 season, when they advanced four rounds into the 6A Division II playoffs and faced Kingwood in the Region III Final—matching Clear Creek’s deepest playoff run since 2009.
Replacing District 24-6A MVP and current Arkansas Razorback Khamari Hall will be no small task. Still, there’s a strong case to be made that the Wildcats could be just as balanced this season. Clear Creek equips an extensive group of all-district performers, led by first-team selections Kierstyn Lambeth (Arizona State commit), infielder Samantha Tumbleson (UT–Arlington), and sophomore second baseman Emma Hope.

UConn commit Sydney Detenbeck (Jr. OF) and Missouri–Kansas City pledge Aria Victorian (Jr. C) are also poised for breakout campaigns, as both look to build on honorable mention seasons alongside fellow junior Lilli Rodriguez, who is expected to make a similar impact in the months ahead.

Perhaps the most unsettling part of Wagner’s flawless start is that “perfect” hardly does it justice. The 5A Thunderbirds have imposed their will in virtually every outing, with few of their 32 victories coming down to the wire — aside from narrow decisions over Brennan, Mansfield and Plano East. Unbeaten through district play and battle-tested beyond it, Wagner enters the playoffs not just as a favorite, but as a clear standard-bearer for the region.
That said, 6A offers no shortage of firepower. Brennan (29-4) and Johnson (32-3) have built commanding résumés and sit squarely in the championship conversation, while Sotomayor and Judson add further depth to an upper classification defined by physicality and balance. Warren and Harlan, both navigating demanding district slates, round out a 6A group more dangerous than their records might suggest.
In 5A, MacArthur has quietly authored one of the area’s most impressive stretches, claiming an undefeated district title while riding a 17-game winning streak into the bracket. Boerne and McCollum have also turned in steady campaigns, proving capable of making noise beyond the opening rounds.
Across classifications, the margin for error has all but vanished. The regular season may be complete, but the real separation will take place in the weeks ahead.

Whataburger Team of the Week: Kingwood Girls Soccer stays perfect as district race tightens
13 Feb, 2026
Kingwood has firmly asserted itself as one of the hottest teams in Texas as the season moves beyond its midway point. Under head coach Adam Bell, the Lady Mustangs have surged to an unbeaten 14-0-1 start, stacking quality results against heavyweights like Stratford and district rival Atascocita in their first meeting of the winter. The consistency of that run has placed Kingwood squarely among the state’s most reliable contenders.
A recent 1-1 draw with Summer Creek (10-3-4) offered a reminder of the volatility that explains District 23-6A, where margins are thin and results rarely come easy. Still, Kingwood’s defensive profile continues to separate it from the field. Through the early portion of 2026, KHS has allowed just four goals, a telling indicator as they position themselves in the district title race.
That defensive identity begins along the back line, anchored by 2025 Team MVP Kate Kristiansen and Addie Abdmoulaie. Both first-team all-district selections a year ago, the senior duo provides stability and composure. They’re complemented by Camryn Hicks, a second-team honoree, along with the SFA-bound Elizabeth Quinn and Helen Shamaly, forming a unit defined by cohesion.
Offensively, Texas Woman’s University signee Concepcion Maya supplies the primary scoring threat. A first-team all-district selection, Maya’s versatility allows her to influence the game as a forward or from an attacking midfield role. Behind her, senior holding midfielder Harper Mills plays an integral role in coordinating the attack, dictating tempo, and linking lines.
The second half of district play rarely offers comfort, only clarity. Kingwood has responded with control, pairing discipline at the back with purpose going forward. After a three-round postseason run a year ago, the Lady Mustangs aren’t navigating new territory—they’re reinforcing what has already been established.
