2022-23 TWHS Baseball
INSIDE PITCH: VYPE Baseball Rankings, No. 2 The Woodlands Highlanders
HC: Ron Eastman
TWHS is primed for another imminent playoff run. Although finishing second in their tough district last season, the Highlanders proved they were worth fearing by reaching the Regional Semis.
Even more cause for optimism, coach Ron Eastman is embarking on his 23rd consecutive year at TWHS, nearing 700 career victories (665). Achieving that milestone is not out of the question for his storied career, given that his group is brimming with next-level talent.
Specifically, the two-time 13-6A MVP Brayden Sharp (Tennessee-signee), who threw a perfect game against Conroe.
All-state second-baseman Logan Ellefson, first-teamer RHP Ethan Coronel (Houston Christian), and Western Texas-commit Sammy York will also fill out this talented lineup.
If this team’s history is any indication, don’t be shocked if The Woodlands adds another State Title to their trophy case (2000, 2006-National Champion, 2013).

2022-23 Friendswood High School Baseball
INSIDE PITCH: VYPE Baseball Rankings, No. 4 Friendswood Mustangs
HC: Robert Benavides
The Mustangs intend to ride back to the State Title game this season. Only, this time they won’t plan on leaving empty-handed.
Friendswood has garnered two-consecutive district titles (would have, likely, been three if not for COVID) and it doesn’t appear that trend will stop this spring.
The ‘Stangs are loaded with next-level stars, including Texas A&M-signee Boots Landry (first-base), RHP Easton Tumis (University of Texas), junior RHP/OF Kyle Lockhart (Oklahoma), and sophomore 3B/OF/C Dane Perry (Texas Tech).
Coach Robert Benavides has been spoiled with talent in his five-year career at FHS, and he will look to steer the ship toward making history in 2023.
