The stars of 2025-26 Kingwood Park Baseball
No. 8 -- Kingwood Park Panthers (5A)
K-Park’s most recent campaign didn’t just end in the 5A Division II title game—it made a statement.
The Panthers (34-10-1) carved through their competition en route to the program’s second-ever UIL State Tournament appearance, and first since 2018, staking their claim as one of the most formidable ballclubs in Texas. Though Grapevine prevailed 9-5 in the championship, Chris Buechner returns a battle-tested roster primed for big-stage composure.
Senior right-hander Landon Coburn (National Park College commit) set a KPHS single-season record with 11 wins while posting a 2.16 ERA en route to first-team all-district honors. Fellow senior NPC commit Griffin Resendez earned first-team recognition as a DH, hitting just over .300 while providing defensive versatility across the infield and outfield.

Behind the plate, Nate Eveler (Embry-Riddle) led the Panthers with 43 RBIs and a .351 average, while outfielder Logan Bear (Freed-Hardeman) returns after earning 18-5A Newcomer of the Year accolades. Senior Garrett Koshkin (Johns Hopkins) adds a reliable arm to a pitching staff already loaded with options.
With so many weapons back in the mix, Kingwood Park’s Road to Round Rock officially begins now.

The stars of 2025-26 Cypress Woods Baseball
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.

Barbers Hill Eagles
10. Barbers Hill Eagles (5A)
Barbers Hill surged through the 2025 playoffs, sweeping three of four series before falling to state runner-up Smithson Valley in the Class 5A Division I semifinals. A 34-8 finish set a high bar, and under legendary coach David Denny, now entering his 16th season with 620 career victories, the Eagles are poised for another deep run.
The heart of this team is returning firepower. All-district selections Josh Digulio (.287, 1 HR, 24 RBIs) and London Schick (.345, 2 HR, 24 RBIs), a Bossier Parish CC commit, lead a lineup that blends power and consistency. Infielder Ryan Garcia (.361, 1 HR, 21 RBIs) and DH Adriano Hayes (.329, 2 HR, 16 RBIs), both all-district honorees, round out a veteran core capable of producing in every inning.
The Eagles’ pitching also returns key arms. Jordan Davis went 4-0 with 32 strikeouts over 27 innings last season, while National Park College commit Hayden McDaniel and Gabe Maricle bring some added punch to the mound.
