The stars of 2025-26 Katy Jordan Softball

Everything runs through senior Ryan McIntosh, the incontestable catalyst for head coach Alexandria Compte’s squad. Last season’s District 19-6A Defensive Player of the Year and a member of the THSCA Super Elite Team, McIntosh brings grace and precision at first base and on the mound. Yet the UCLA signee may be even more dangerous in the batter’s box, driving in 60 runs, launching 16 home runs, and scoring 28 times herself.

But the excitement for the Warriors doesn’t end there. Seniors Maddie Jovanovic and Madison Royse are still in the mix as well after receiving first-team all-district honors. Jovanovic, an outfielder signed with SFA, hit .349 with 29 RBIs in 2025, while McLennan pledge Royse batted just over .300, drove in 24 runs, and played a pivotal role behind the plate as the team’s catcher.
Alongside McIntosh, sophomore right-hander Olivia Sexton will also shoulder innings, responding to a breakout season that earned her District 19-6A Newcomer of the Year honors. Furthermore, first-teamer Macey McCoy figures to be a key presence in the infield, having emerged as a standout during her freshman debut.

In 2025, PHS stormed to an unblemished District 22-6A championship before bowing out in a decisive Game 3 against powerhouse Atascocita, closing the spring at 27–8 overall. With the majority of last year’s core back in the fold, Pearland has every reason to believe a resurgence is taking shape.
Senior right-hander Madelyn Guzman anchors the staff after earning District 22-6A Pitcher of the Year honors, while Texas State signee Payton Schugart brings first-team all-district pedigree and steady leadership behind the plate.

The infield remains a strength with first-team seniors Layla Bennett (Central Florida) and Payton Powell (Blinn), joined by shortstop Elaina Njus, an honorable mention selection. Though the outfield will feature new faces, second-teamer Anison Lopez (Grayson College) provides experience and cohesion.

The stars of 2025-26 Angleton Softball

The transition comes after a strong 2025 campaign in which the Ladycats went 21–5, claimed their second straight district title, and powered their way to the Region III Final of the 5A Division I bracket before falling to Barbers Hill. Much of that momentum returns in the circle.

Junior right-hander Bella Nava – a Miami (Ohio) commit – anchors the staff after a dominant sophomore season that saw her post a 9–2 record, a pristine 0.98 ERA, and 114 strikeouts en route to All–Southern Brazoria County Pitcher of the Year and first-team all-district recognition. Sam Houston State pledge Kadeyn Patin figures to share innings after logging a 1.95 ERA and earning second-team honors.
Offensively, first-team all-district outfielder Ayleen Cervantes and senior Ambrielle Linscombe, a Howard Payne signee and second-team selection, contribute to the team’s professionalism and punch.
