PRESSURE-PROOF: No. 7 Clear Lake's toughness matches its talent
No. 7 -- Clear Lake Falcons (6A)
Clear Lake doesn’t have to sell belief—it’s already been tested. A run to the Regional Semifinals and a 24-11-3 record last spring confirmed the Falcons as more than a one-year story, and the pieces returning suggest that ceiling hasn’t been reached yet.
Seventh-year head coach Josh Bromberg brings back a group defined by its pitching, starting with Texas A&M signee Evan Mihaly, whose 2025 numbers read like a video game. The right-hander went 9–1 with a 0.54 ERA, piling up 116 strikeouts in just over 64 innings while earning honorable mention all-state recognition.

He’s far from alone. Texas Tech commit Jake Berry and LeTourneau commit Jared Jochim give Clear Lake multiple late-game options, while Preston Sommerville adds further depth on the staff. The batting order has teeth, too. Alvin Community College commit Langston Lee returns after a breakout season at the plate, and Hamline University commit Xavier Karus provides versatility across the field.
Around them, a mix of emerging contributors—Micah Morin, Jove Vestal-Peek, Cooper Jackson, Jacob McBride, Kaleb Biddy, and Kingston Whorton—round out a roster built for balance.
For Clear Lake, the path forward is simple: stay healthy, defend, and let the arms set the tone. The goal isn’t to repeat—it’s to finish.

The stars of 2025-26 Cypress Woods Baseball
REPPIN' THE 212: Roster parity anchors No. 9 Cy Woods
No. 9 -- Cypress Woods Wildcats (6A)
Deep postseason runs have started to feel routine at Cy Woods, but last spring’s push to the Region II Final hinted that the Wildcats may still have another level to reach. A 23-12-4 finish laid the groundwork, and with several impact pieces returning, the blueprint for another surge is already in place.
Head coach Phil Schwarz enters the season sitting on 296 career wins, placing a milestone within striking distance. His roster is built around versatility and two-way production, led by Angelina College commit Ross Sullivan. The standout right-hander delivered an 8–2 record with a 1.22 ERA, striking out 64 while issuing just 12 walks. Sullivan also contributed offensively, driving in 21 runs and earning first-team all-district honors.

That two-way identity extends throughout the lineup. Brandon Stoebner, another first-teamer, impacts the game as both a middle infielder and a reliable arm, hitting .345 with 13 stolen bases while posting a 1.99 ERA. Third baseman Aiden Haby adds steady run production and speed, while catchers Santiago Perozo and Lance Gronsky direct the defense behind the plate.
Cy Woods doesn’t lack talent or experience. The next step is turning both into another postseason statement.
