THE A WAY: Atascocita Primed For Another Playoff Run
It’s been over a decade since the Eagles made the program’s lone appearance in the UIL State Tournament (2013-14), but recent seasons suggest they’re not far from returning. In his first season as head coach, Jeremy O’Neill led Atascocita to a silver finish in the competitive 21-6A district and a postseason berth.
Unfortunately, their run ended in the third round against eventual State Finalist Pearland in a thrilling three game series. However, the Eagles return a solid core that bodes well for a third consecutive playoff appearance.
Junior Ty Higginbotham, the District Newcomer of the Year, shined with a 10-2 record and 89 strikeouts last season while also contributing at the plate with 21 RBIs and two home runs. Fellow junior Jaxon McKnight, named District Utility Player of the Year, posted similarly impressive numbers, including a .354 batting average, 26 RBIs, and one homer.
Additionally, second team all-district selections Angelo Volante (McMurry commit) and CJ Toney strengthen the outfield and lineup, while senior shortstop Jayden Hernandez (honorable mention) anchors the defense.
