READY TO REPEAT: No. 17 Crosby chases encore after 20-year District drought snapped
No. 17 -- Crosby Cougars

Much of that confidence begins on the mound with senior right-hander Tori Dahnke, an Idaho State signee and the reigning 18-5A Pitcher of the Year. Dahnke went 13-2 a season ago with a 2.95 ERA while closing in on 200 strikeouts.

Offensively, junior shortstop Mackenzie Ross, a Wichita State commit, is back to energize the batting order after hitting .547 with 31 RBIs and 11 home runs en route to first-team all-district and TGCA All-State honors.

Absolutely. But instead of backing down, he doubled down — and now he’s earned offers from programs across every level of college football.
His path is unique, but it’s also a snapshot of the new recruiting reality — and the grind today’s high school players face.
