THE RANKINGS: No. 9 - Deer Park Deer
Deer Park is coming off a year that saw them go 29-8 overall and reach the Area Round of the playoffs. Amy Vidal-Bush enters her fifth year of leading the program and has a 141-31 overall record and the 2021 UIL Class 6A State Championship in that time.
Six starters return for Vidal-Bush including Texas Tech-commit Braelynn Jones, the District Pitcher of the Year in 2024, Texas State-commit Camryn Plocheck (firstteam, all-district), and Temple College-commit Madi Alvarado.
Other key returners include first-team, all-district picks Izzy Mendoza, Kayla Barras, and Mia Montemayor (Texas Southern-commit) and secondteamers Aleena Carrizales (Texas Southern-commit), Mariah Ramirez and Zoie Powell (San Jac-commit). Other players to watch include Caitlyn Wade and Reily Hernandez.
Keys to success for Vidal-Bush’s crew include being more efficient offensively, pitching, and “learning from our lack of success last season and becoming the toughest, most competitive versions of ourselves”.

No. 2--Deer Park Deer Softball
2022: 40-5 (State Semifinalists)

Deer Park has been one of the strongest softball programs in the Greater Houston Area for the past few years. In 2021, the Deer won the program’s third State title and returned to Austin again in 2022.
The Deer finished 40-5 overall a year ago and fell in the State Semifinals. Can Deer Park make it a third-straight trip?
Five starters return for third-year coach Amy Vidal, who has won 80 games as a coach at Deer Park and is in her 23rd year overall as a head coach.
The Deer bring back eight collegiate-bound players led by first-team, all-district picks Erin Perez (Incarnate Word), Bryanna Fuentes (Incarnate Word), and Angelina Morales (San Jac). Second-team picks were Lorelei Graham (Angelina College) and Lindsey McKnight (Angelina College).
Other names to remember include Aubrey Graham (Dallas Christian College), Hanna York (Houston Christian), and Kylie Wilson (Prairie View A&M).
This team has the pieces to make another run.
