THE PLAYBOOK: Baytown Lee Football

Baytown Lee Football

The Ganders made the playoffs for the first time since 2009 last season and for the first time ever beat both Goose Creek Memorial and Baytown Sterling in the same year. What's next for Tim Finn's Ganders?

...


VYPE: Now that the bar is set, how do you continue the success?

FINN: We're losing a good group of seniors but that doesn't mean our expectations are going down. The kids understand what it takes to win now and how to prepare. We're excited about the group we've got… The bar is set, and we want to go above the bar. That's the mindset and that's what we're working towards.

VYPE: Who are your key pieces?

FINN: Last year, all five of our offensive linemen were all-district and we only have one returner. So, some guys are going to have to step up and come through in those spots. But we feel like we've got the guys if they play up to their potential and rise to the challenge, we'll be fine in that spot. Having to take Ja'Corey [Boston] out of receiver where he had eight or nine touchdowns, that's a tough hit but he brings a dual-threat ability to that quarterback position. So, we've got to find a couple of receivers.

VYPE: What have you learned over the last 18 months?

FINN: I'm just proud of the staff and the kids. You had to grind with everything we had to go through that we were asked to do. The temperature checks, the masks, the spread out for stretch. How do you play football six feet apart, impossible? But there must have been something to the being outdoors being a better situation because we had more volleyball and basketball games cancelled than football.

Players to Watch

Ja'Corey Boston (QB)
Trudell Berry (WR/DB) – (Marshall)
Omar Nieto (OL)
Marcus Johnson (DT)

OILER PRIDE: Pearland Looking To Make It Back To State

Matthew Ogle
14 Mar, 2025

After reaching the State Tournament for the second consecutive year – and the seventh time overall – the Pearland Oilers fell just short of claiming their first title since 1980, losing 4-1 to Tomball in Round Rock last spring. With valuable experience gained, this year is about seizing that opportunity.

Coach David Rogers enters his sixth year at the helm, relying on a talented core to reach their goal. Texas A&M-commit Nico Partida is back for his final year in the high school spotlight, after earning District 23-6A MVP and UIL-6A All-Tournament honors a year ago. In addition to his impeccable play on defense and at-bat (.414 BA, 7 HR, 41 RBI), Partida can just as easily make an impact when pitching (5-0), alongside junior Grant Shepherd.

THE BOBCATS: Cy Fair Coming Off 2024 Regional Final Appearance

Matthew Ogle
14 Mar, 2025

Under the guidance of eighth-year head coach Billy Hardin (197 wins), the Cy-Fair Bobcats are coming off a strong 2024 campaign, highlighted by a District 17-6A title and an impressive run to the Regional Final for the first time since 2018.

The Bobcats’ postseason push was halted by eventual State Finalist Pearland in a tight Game 3, further highlighting the team’s growing reputation as a serious contender.

THE MUSTANGS: Memorial Loaded Roster Ready For State Run

Matthew Ogle
14 Mar, 2025

While their 26-14-2 record last season showcases a strong campaign, Memorial’s true potential was revealed in the playoffs. Advancing four rounds deep into the 2024 postseason, the Jeremy York-led Mustangs reached heights that no previous team in recent memory had attained.

What makes this even more exciting is the fact that the majority of the roster from that playoff run returns for the upcoming season. Key contributors will include first-team, all-district selections Will Van Wie (Houston commit), Jake Earnest (Baylor commit), and Jackson Castillo (Sr. DH/C), all of whom will play pivotal roles in the batting order.
