The stars of the defending 6A Div. II State Champions -- Kingwood Baseball
BLUE STREAK: No. 1 Kingwood shows no signs of slowing down in its back-to-back pursuit
The victory not only secured the program’s first championship in 20 years—and just the second in school history—but did so in head coach Michael Oros’ second season directing his alma mater. Following a dominant 39-4 campaign, Kingwood still boasts a roster armed with frontline talent—and one fully intent on competing well into June.

Sr. OF Graham Charboneau (Baylor)
State Tournament MVP Graham Charboneau (Sr. OF), a recent Baylor signee, returns after hitting just shy of .400 in 2025, a season that also earned him District 23-6A MVP honors.
The Mustangs’ bullpen may once again be their greatest strength, anchored by 23-6A Co-Pitcher of the Year Will Fiedler (Sam Houston State signee), junior Texas commit Ryder Renfro, and junior left-hander Brock Hill, a second-team all-district selection. Together, the trio gives Kingwood an enviable range of options on the mound.
Meanwhile, senior utility man Evan Morris and junior shortstop Cody Sawyer add further depth to a comprehensive lineup now focused on chasing another ring.

The stars of 2025-26 Atascocita Baseball
TRUE GRIT: No. 2 Atascocita primed to replicate last year's journey to Round Rock
Third-year head coach Jeremy O’Neill returns the bulk of last year’s arsenal, a roster determined to ensure AHS hits the ground running this spring. Atascocita’s star-studded lineup starts with senior left-hander Ty Higginbotham (LSU-Eunice signee), who went 11-2 with a 1.41 ERA and 81 strikeouts en route to 23-6A Co-Pitcher of the Year honors. Behind the plate, Texas State-bound senior Jaxon McNight continues to direct the defense, building on a season that produced 35 hits and 22 RBIs for first-team all-district recognition.

Sr. RHP/UT Ty Higginbotham (LSU-Eunice)
Fellow first-team selections Cole Edwards (Sr. 2B) and Christopher “CJ” Toney (Sr. OF) strengthen an already formidable batting order. Edwards hit over .300 with 28 RBIs, while Toney, a Washington State Football signee, batted .287 with 18 RBIs and four home runs. Junior shortstop Jackson Wooten, a recent Kentucky commit and district second-teamer, led the team with 22 stolen bases and added 18 RBIs.
Armed from top to bottom, Atascocita looks poised to turn its destiny into reality in the months ahead.
