The stars of 2025-26 Cypress Woods Baseball
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.

Some of the stars of 2024-25 Tomball Baseball
THE TIER LIST: Updated VYPE HOU Baseball Rankings; Kingwood, Tomball, Memorial, BH thriving
Just like that, we've already reached the first wave of district games in the Texas high school baseball season.
Suffice it to say, there have been numerous developments made thus far, which also entails some movement in our overall rankings.
Kingwood has skyrocketed since the preseason, as the Mustangs are now 19-1 on the year and show no signs of slowing down.
Trailing just behind are the Tomball Cougars, who still remain one of the city's most intimidating clubs, with a loaded bullpen to back that notion, and the same can be said for Houston Memorial.
Similarly, The Woodlands has been on a hot-streak throughout the entire spring, particularly turning heads in the tournament section and have a firm grasp on the lead in District 13-6A.
Don't sleep on other 6A contenders like Katy, Pearland, and Bridgeland, either.
In Class 5A, Barbers Hill (17-3) has been balling, though Friendswood, Lake Creek, and Kingwood Park are starting to make some noise as well.
With all that in mind, here's a look at the new VYPE Baseball rankings as we near the mid-way point of district-play in H-Town.
