The stars of 2025-26 Kingwood Park Baseball
The Panthers (34-10-1) carved through their competition en route to the program’s second-ever UIL State Tournament appearance, and first since 2018, staking their claim as one of the most formidable ballclubs in Texas. Though Grapevine prevailed 9-5 in the championship, Chris Buechner returns a battle-tested roster primed for big-stage composure.
Senior right-hander Landon Coburn (National Park College commit) set a KPHS single-season record with 11 wins while posting a 2.16 ERA en route to first-team all-district honors. Fellow senior NPC commit Griffin Resendez earned first-team recognition as a DH, hitting just over .300 while providing defensive versatility across the infield and outfield.

Behind the plate, Nate Eveler (Embry-Riddle) led the Panthers with 43 RBIs and a .351 average, while outfielder Logan Bear (Freed-Hardeman) returns after earning 18-5A Newcomer of the Year accolades. Senior Garrett Koshkin (Johns Hopkins) adds a reliable arm to a pitching staff already loaded with options.
With so many weapons back in the mix, Kingwood Park’s Road to Round Rock officially begins now.

The standout right-hander delivered an 8–2 record with a 1.22 ERA, striking out 64 while issuing just 12 walks. Sullivan also contributed offensively, driving in 21 runs and earning first-team all-district honors.

That two-way identity extends throughout the lineup. Brandon Stoebner, another first-teamer, impacts the game as both a middle infielder and a reliable arm, hitting .345 with 13 stolen bases while posting a 1.99 ERA. Third baseman Aiden Haby adds steady run production and speed, while catchers Santiago Perozo and Lance Gronsky direct the defense behind the plate.
Cy Woods doesn’t lack talent or experience. The next step is turning both into another postseason statement.
