BASES LOADED: State-appearance could be in the cards for No. 4 Lake Creek
No. 4 -- Lake Creek Lions
2023: 27-11 (Finished 2nd in District 21-5A/Region III Finalist)
The Lions reached the fifth round of the playoffs for the second-consecutive season in 2023, despite being one of the newest programs on this list.
That speaks volumes about the culture that coach Jeremy Schramm has established within Lake Creek Baseball.
It shouldn’t be a stretch to assume that audiences see a similar, if not better result this year.
Arkansas-commit Sam Lee, Parker Smith (Louisiana-Lafayette), Wyatt Davis (Houston Christian), Austin Wiederhold, and Leighton Scott all return for LCHS, which bodes well for Class 5A powerhouse.

BASES LOADED: No. 9 Montgomery expected to surge within a tough district
No. 9 -- Montgomery Bears
2023: 11-16-1 (Finished 4th in District/Bi-District Finalist)
The Montgomery Bears could be a sleeper in Class 5A play, under the direction of head coach Michael Starkey.
The Bears have a legit ace in Bryce Navarre, a lefty who is signed to Texas A&M. The senior could be dangerous in district and the postseason.
His counterpart from the right side and also double behind the plate is Camden Clewett. The big-man is committed to Baylor and can also wield the bat.
His brother, Wyatt, is a 6-foot-4 hybrid corner infielder-outfielder. He is the future of Montgomery baseball and should have a breakout season.
Senior Ethan Gebert will be the everyday catcher, while Will McKinzie is the slick-fielding shortstop.
The Bears play in a tough district, so they should be well-prepared for the postseason.
