THE WOODS: Highlanders Aiming For Another Deep Playoff Run
Though the 2024 season had its ups and downs, a strong finish to district play pushed The Woodlands Highlanders back into playoff contention. However, after sweeping Aldine in the first round, they were eliminated by Bridgeland in a tight three-game series.
While that result might seem acceptable to some, the Highlanders’ storied program is aiming for more in 2025. Senior RHP/1B Erich Daigle, a first-team allstate nominee and Wharton County JC commit, returns to lead the team both on the mound and at the plate.
He’ll be supported by senior lefthanders Max McCraray (Houston) and Isaiah Salas (San Diego State), who will take on key pitching roles. Senior utility player/first baseman Gian Fernandez and district first-team selection Caleb Holifield (Sr. SS/ RHP, committed to Galveston College) are also back and should provide offensive power in the Highlanders’ lineup. Izzy Vega (Sr. IF/Alvin CC) and sophomore Cash Clayton will further contribute.
Fun Fact: Head coach Ron Eastman, in his 24th year at The Woodlands (31st overall), reached the 700-win milestone in February 2024, becoming one of just 27 coaches in Texas high school baseball history to achieve this feat.
