The Woodlands Christian Academy captured the program's second state title in three years a couple of weeks ago. One of the first things to take care of after the title is won is getting sized up for the State Championship rings.
VYPE caught up with TWCA coach Tanner Field and Uptown Diamond's Matt Hall as they worked to figure out the newest piece of hardware for the Warriors.
12. Katy Tigers (6A)
Katy reached the Regional Semifinals in 2025 after going 28-10 overall and winning District 19-6A. Wes Hearne should be ready to rock this year with senior shortstop Ashten Ballew returning after being a first-team, all-district pick a year ago. Ballew hit .316 at the plate with four homers and 20 stolen bases.
Houston-commit Jayden Stewart (4-1, 2.12 ERA, 39 Ks) and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi-commit Anson Stuckly (4-3, 1.92 ERA, 34 Ks) will anchor the pitching unit for the Tigers in 2026. District 19-6A Newcomer of the Year Adriel Rivera will be their battery mate at the catcher position. Rivera hit .250 with 1 HR.
Other key returners include OF Kaleb Harrison (.260, 2 HR) and UTL Bennett Kahlan (.328).
