No. 17 -- Crosby Cougars
The numbers only tell part of Crosby’s story. A 19-9 record and an Area Round appearance in 2025 marked tangible progress, but it was the Cougars’ first district championship in over 20 years that signaled a program trending upward under District 18-5A Coach of the Year Troy Fox.
Much of that confidence begins on the mound with senior right-hander Tori Dahnke, an Idaho State signee and the reigning 18-5A Pitcher of the Year. Dahnke went 13-2 a season ago with a 2.95 ERA while closing in on 200 strikeouts.
Offensively, junior shortstop Mackenzie Ross, a Wichita State commit, is back to energize the batting order after hitting .547 with 31 RBIs and 11 home runs en route to first-team all-district and TGCA All-State honors.
