Frassati is coming off an impressive season, where they went 11-9 and reached the Regional Finals under first-year coach Trina Searcy.

In the five seasons that Frassati Catholic has played volleyball, only once (2018) have they missed the postseason.

With three starters back from the 2020 squad, the Falcons look to get back again.

The leader in the locker room will be Alexis Bodunrin, who led the team with 318 kills and 231 digs a year ago. She was named first-team, all-district.

Other key returners include Natalia Kacprzak (59 kills, 34 digs, 23 blocks) and Katherine Liepman (53 kills, 47 digs).

Keys to success for Searcy's group in 2021 include "great defense, serve-receive, communication, trusting teammates and being physically ready to hit the gym floor on day one".

The Falcons could claw their way to a deep playoff run again in 2021.

College Station-Bound: SBS junior Ty Baker commits to Aggies over summer

HOUSTON – Ty Baker '23 had a sophomore pitching season to remember with Second Baptist School's baseball team.

As one of the aces for Second Baptist School, which reached the TAPPS State Semifinals last spring, Baker posted video-game-like numbers.

In district play, he posted an ERA of 0.00. No, that's not a typo. Overall, he posted a 0.38 ERA, while going 4-0 with two saves, holding opponents to an abysmal .092 batting average and striking out 59 in 144 batters faced.

"Last year we fell short in the playoffs, which was obviously a disappointment," Baker said. "Our goals are to sweep district again and win state this year. We have a lot of great returning players that will have big impacts, and a couple of transfers that will be studs."

Could Whitfield be the key for Concordia Lutheran's title hopes?

The Concordia Lutheran Crusaders are set to enter district play after a competitive tournament and non-conference slate where they went 19-6.

Now, it's for real, especially with St. Agnes also vying for the district crown.

There is a new culture for the 'Saders as new coach Brandon Smeltzer tries his hand at grasping a coveted TAPPS State Title.
