VYPE 2021 Softball Preview:​ Public School Others to Watch

Joshua Koch
Mar 03, 2021

Friendswood Mustangs

Christa Williams enters her seventh season leading the Friendswood Mustangs and they have a solid team back with six starters returning. Caylynn Esparaza (Ole Miss) leads the crew behind the plate, at third base, and at the dish with her bat. Patricia Yarotsky (Sam Houston State) holds it down at shortstop, in the circle, and possesses some "great wheels". Chloe Riassetto (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) has experience, which pairs well with sophomore Janelle Wilson. Lauren Adams (LSU Eunice), Michyla Saenz (Austin College), Maddie Wilson, and Lainie Schaeffer are others to take note of. Building team chemistry will be big for this group in 2021.


Splendora Ladycats

Deanna Eubanks had an ultra-talented squad in 2020, which was 15-1 with state title aspirations before everything ended. The Ladycats say goodbye to eight seniors, including aces Caleigh Millican (Baylor) and Grace Bumpurs (UT-Arlington). There is talent returning, including Leah Hensarling (Tyler JC), Brooklyn Atkins (Cameron University), and Brittan McGown (Ottawa University). Other names to take note of include Honor Knott, Katie Brzowski, and Brooke Martin. This Splendora squad is an ultra-tough district which will make them playoff ready.

Others to Watch: Angleton, Brazoswood, Channelview, Dekaney, Dobie, Elkins, Fulshear, Grand Oaks, Kingwood Park, Magnolia, Memorial, Pearland, Shadow Creek, Summer Creek, Texas City, Tompkins, Waller

SBS' Reese Alston is VYPE's Private School Player of the Year

The Second Baptist School and St. Francis Episcopal captured their respective TAPPS State Titles this winter, hitting huge shots at the right time.

Reese Alston of Second Baptist was our VYPE Private School Player of the Year, leading the Eagles all season. The point guard is just a sophomore and has plenty more upside, which is scary to opponents.

COUGAR NATION: Cinco Ranch Has Bona Fide Star Power In Franco

Matthew Ogle
12 Mar, 2025

Audiences saw Cinco Ranch cruise to yet another district title last spring, which is no small feat given the high level of competition within 19-6A. The Cougars then advanced three rounds into the postseason, before ultimately falling to Memorial in a hard-fought three-game series.

Heading into the 2025 season, coach Brett Wallace and his staff are fortunate to bring back the majority of their key players, including a trio of district first-teamers: Lucas Franco (Sr. SS), Josh Morelli (Sr. RHP), and Dylan Muniz (Jr. C). Franco, a TCU-commit, will continue to be Cinco’s most reliable hitter, after posting a .405 average with 30 RBIs last year.
