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

ZEROED IN: The Road to Dell Diamond Presses On for Tomball Baseball

Matthew Ogle
14 May, 2026

It’s no surprise that Tomball has carried its momentum into the postseason. While a pristine 36-0-1 record suggests overwhelming control, the Cougars haven’t simply cruised past the competition.

That reality was on full display in last week’s Area Round series against Oak Ridge High School, where Tomball secured the sweep but was pushed in both contests (4-2, 7-2). Each game demanded depth, composure, and the ability to win a battle of attrition — traits that continue to define this run.

THE HUNGER WITHIN: Tomball Softball Eyes State in Regional Rematch

Few softball teams in Texas are as scorching as Tomball right now. The surge is hardly surprising, especially after last season’s breakthrough run that carried the Cougars four rounds deep into the postseason.

What makes their rise even more notable is how recent it’s been. After years of finishing just outside the playoff picture, the group has transformed into a bona fide contender with Alyssa Thompson now in her third season at the helm.
