2025-26 Pearland Softball
THE STANDARD LIVES: No. 13 Pearland stands as a traditional superpower
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.

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.
