REPPIN' THE 212: Roster parity anchors No. 9 Cy Woods
No. 9 -- Cypress Woods Wildcats (6A)
Deep postseason runs have started to feel routine at Cy Woods, but last spring’s push to the Region II Final hinted that the Wildcats may still have another level to reach. A 23-12-4 finish laid the groundwork, and with several impact pieces returning, the blueprint for another surge is already in place.
Head coach Phil Schwarz enters the season sitting on 296 career wins, placing a milestone within striking distance. His roster is built around versatility and two-way production, led by Angelina College commit Ross Sullivan. The standout right-hander delivered an 8–2 record with a 1.22 ERA, striking out 64 while issuing just 12 walks. Sullivan also contributed offensively, driving in 21 runs and earning first-team all-district honors.

That two-way identity extends throughout the lineup. Brandon Stoebner, another first-teamer, impacts the game as both a middle infielder and a reliable arm, hitting .345 with 13 stolen bases while posting a 1.99 ERA. Third baseman Aiden Haby adds steady run production and speed, while catchers Santiago Perozo and Lance Gronsky direct the defense behind the plate.
Cy Woods doesn’t lack talent or experience. The next step is turning both into another postseason statement.

THE WILDCATS: Cy Woods' Neumann And Sullivan Looking To Lead Team To Deep Playoff Run
Following a historic 2022-23 season, in which they reached the UIL-6A State Semis, the Wildcats experienced some bad luck in their most recent endeavor, as they were narrowly defeated by Klein Oak in the opening round of last year’s playoffs.
While they did lose a few veterans to graduation, third-year coach Phil Schwarz still has plenty of star-power to propel Cy Woods further this spring. The team’s bullpen will be a major strength, with Cameron Neumann (Sr. RHP) back for his senior year, after going 7-3 overall in 2024, with a 1.21 ERA and 64 strikeouts, which earned him first-team, all-district honors.
The reigning District Newcomer of the Year, Ross Sullivan (Jr. SS/RHP), will be another dependable option on the mound, considering the numbers he put up a year ago (7-1, 0.92 ERA, 57 Ks). Leading the Wildcats lineup will be a trio of outfielders: Stuart Myers (second-team), J.T. Darden (first team), and Logan Johnson.
Other notable returning players include Beau Schaper (Sr. 1B) and Raul Martinez (Sr. 3B).
