MacArthur Softball Team
Last season it was Eisenhower and MacArthur making the postseason for Aldine ISD in District 14-6A. Nimtiz and Aldine Davis were on the next tier behind them. The Eagles and Generals bowed out in the first round but look to make more noice in 2022.
Time to step into the circle and battle for the District 14-6A supremacy!
Second-year coach Shay Orsak returns eight starters to the lineup for 2025 as Katy Tompkins seeks a 10th-straight playoff appearance. The Falcons went 16-14 a year ago and reached the Area Round of the postseason.
Denison University-commit Leah Gershman is coming off a first-team, all-district campaign in the circle, while Montana State University Billings-commit Cami Hearn earned a second-team, all-district nod as an infielder. Lex Cebrero was named the District 19-6A Newcomer of the Year in 2024 and looks to build off that season.
Other key returners include Peyton Ebel (first-team, all-district infield); second-team, all-district infielders Chloe Grigsby and Kaylee Segura and second-team, all-district outfielder Lainey Wilkerson. Also watch for honorable-mention selections Kima Sepic and Savannah Darling.
“The keys to success for our team this season are hard work, discipline, and unwavering focus,” Orsak said. “We’re committed to the process— mastering the fundamentals, holding each other accountable, and giving our best effort every game.”
After missing the playoffs in 2024, the Clear Creek Wildcats are eyeing to get back into the big dance. Fifth-year head coach Kathy Morton does return some talent to the roster in 2025 to accomplish that mission with seven starters back in the mix.
University of Arkansas-commit Khamari Hall will lead the way. Hall has been selected as a first-team, all-district outfielder every year of her high school career. Other players to watch include first-team, all-district outfielder Sydney Detenbeck and second-team, all-district picks Kierstyn Lambeth (infielder) and Sammy Tumbleson (designated player).
Others to watch include Lily Rodriguez and Kailey Hedges, Aria Victorian, Emma Hope, Harlie Wright and Lila Coria. Last year, Rodriguez and Hedges both earned all-district, honorable-mention nods.
As Morton looks towards 2025, the keys to success for her team include “being great teammates” and “consistently executing on offense and defense” as they aim to play by their motto “INAM – It’s not about me”
Coming off a year where Cinco Ranch went 17-15 overall and reached the Regional Quarterfinals, 11th-year coach Suzanne Reeve returns five starters to the dugout as she looks towards 2025.
The Cougars are seeking a 20th-consecutive trip to the postseason this spring and University of St. Thomas (Houston)-commit Sophie Hassell will be one of the leaders in the clubhouse to get them there.
Other key returners for Cinco Ranch include sophomores Gaby Perez (pitcher) and Sydni Vandeventer (catcher) and junior infielder Aubrey Ramirez.
