ONLY GAME IN TOWN: After flipping culture at New Caney; Reeve heads to El Campo
After leading New Caney High School to a historic season going 11-1 and winning District 13-6A, head coach Travis Reeve has taken the AD/head football coaching post at Class 4A El Campo High School.
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta caught up with Reeve to talk about what went into the decision to make the move from 6A to 4A.
In a word… community.
2022-23 El Campo Baseball
INSIDE PITCH: VYPE Baseball Rankings, No. 16 El Campo Ricebirds
No. 16--El Campo Ricebirds Baseball
2022: 23-11 (4th in District 24-4A/Regional Quarterfinalist)
HC: Jacob Clay
The fact that El Campo ended 2022 with a 23-11 (8-4district) record and only placed fourth, should explain just how good of a division they were in. Despite fierce competition, the Ricebirds managed to advance further (Regional Quarters) than all but one district rival (Bellville-Regional Semis).
Gearing up this Spring for Coach Jacob Clay’s third year will be senior SHSU-signee LHP Brock Rod. The 5-foot-10 lefty was not only an ace for El Campo but proved to be a slugger with a .362 batting average, 24 runs, and 21 RBIs, earning him first-team, all-district honors.
Backing him up will be fellow first-team seniors Bryce Rasmussen, Kyle Barosh, and junior C Dean Poenitzsch (Oral-Roberts).
If last season is any indication, the Ricebirds should fly into the playoffs yet again.
