No. 1 -- Katy Tigers
The Katy Tigers are loaded for a run in 2024, and that may be putting it lightly.
Eight starters return off a team for Kalum Haack, which won 31 games overall but was knocked out in the Area Round in 2023.
College-level talent? Check.
The laundry list of commits includes Cameryn Harrison (Arkansas), Ashtyn Reichardt (Arkansas), Hailey Gore (Houston), Avery Porter (Mizzou), Montgomery Henderson (Oklahoma State), Lauryn Soeken (LSU), Brooke Fechner (McLennan), Paige Schulze (UTPB) and Emily Budd (St. Charles).
Like we said, absolutely loaded.
Other players to watch include Ella-Kate "EK" Smith, Maddison Smith and Lexi Waugh for the Tigers.
Watch out for Katy this season as they look to avenge their playoff exit from a year ago, and look to capture the program’s first State Title since 2019.
