No. 21 -- Klein Oak Panthers
After finishing second in the District 15-6A standings, Klein Oak carried that momentum into the 2025 postseason, edging Bridgeland in a tightly contested opening series before bowing out to Conroe in the Area Round to close the year at 19-12.
Under head coach Barry Wilson, the Panthers show little indication of slowing down, returning a roster stocked with proven contributors now armed with valuable playoff experience.
Junior Morgan Sanchez (Texas State commit) headlines the lineup, offering impact production behind the plate or at third base. The TGCA All-State and first-team all-district selection is coming off a dominant performance in which she hit .435, drove in 35 runs, and blasted 15 home runs.
In the circle, Klein Oak will deploy a two-pitcher system anchored by junior lefty Riannah Boulanger (second-team all-district) and junior right-hander Izzy Lee (North Texas commit), whose contrasting styles present matchup challenges for opposing lineups.
Offensively, senior Makenzie Berkman and sophomore Peyton Berry—both second-team picks—remain key weapons. Berkman hit above .300 with 21 RBIs, while Berry batted .264 with 12 RBIs as a freshman shortstop. Madison Mize (Sr. OF/Mary Hardin–Baylor), Audrina Kidd (Sr. 1B/Western Oklahoma State), Sky Gonzalez (Sr. OF/Kilgore JC), and junior infielder Maddie Hall round out an exceptionally battle-tested group.
