VYPE Coaches Corner: Magnolia West Baseball Coach Travis Earles; Regional Finals Preview
Despite experiencing a series of ups and downs throughout the regular season, the reigning Class 5A state champs Magnolia West have proven their resiliency, by sweeping each opponent they've faced throughout the 2024 playoffs.
Now, the Mustangs (25-14-1) see themselves with the opportunity to return to Austin, when facing Distrcit 21-5A counterpart Lake Creek, in a rematch of the Region III-5A Final, starting tonight (7:00 pm) at Sam Houston State University.
VYPE's Matthew Ogle caught up with head coach Travis Earles, examining Mag West's resurgence in the postseason, as well as their mindset when facing off against Lake Creek.

The stars of 2023-24 Magnolia West Baseball
BASES LOADED: No. 1 Magnolia West prepared to dominate Class 5A once again
No. 1 -- Magnolia West Mustangs
2023: 36-5 (District 21-5A Champions/UIL-5A State Champions)
The “Dirt Boys” are back and ready for more, following an unprecedented playoff run in 2023, which saw the Mustangs take home its first ever State Title.
Coach of the Year Travis Earles and company will undoubtedly be hyped for this season, as they can sport their shiny championship rings with their loyal fan-base in tow.
Even though some of last season’s major players – Washington Nationals-draftee James Ellwanger comes to mind – Mag West has talent to spare, such as district first-teamers Dawson Park (Texas State-commit), Cody Palacios, Caldwell McFaddin (Baylor) and Trenton Buckley (Louisiana-Monroe).
Don’t forget about Trey Jeanes.
The reigning champs will have a target on their backs this Spring, but something tells me they’re up for the challenge.
