Fort Bend Christian Academy was on the cusp of winning a state title in 2019.
A 3-2 loss to eventual state champ Lutheran South in the state semifinals ended up being the roadblock to that goal. With eight starters back, the Eagles have a legitimate chance to get back to the TAPPS Final Four and maybe even win the whole thing.

The group is led by Riley Cargile (Campbell) and Jackie Jessup (HBU) at the plate. Cargile hit .470 with 27 RBIs, while Jessup hit .358 with 24 RBIs a year ago.
Oklahoma-commit Savannah "SJ" Geurin is their ace in the circle after posting a 1.74 ERA with 201 strikeouts and can swing it at the dish as well.
