Magnolia West looking to get back to state.
22. Magnolia West Mustangs (6A)
Magnolia West enters year four under Travis Earles (80-31) at the helm of the Mustangs program. Last year, Mag West went 18-11 overall, 12-4 in district play, and reached the Bi-District round of the playoffs. Four starters return for Earles, including first-team, all-district pick and three-year starter Cole Meredith.
Other key returners include first-team, all-district pick Beckett Steele and second-team, all-district pick Garrett Bagwell. Also be on the lookout for P/IF/OF Lukas Huff, who was named honorable-mention, all-district. As the ‘Stangs enter the 2026 season they are going to play by the motto “Dirt Boys”.
The Aldine Mustangs
23. Aldine Mustangs (6A)
Johnny Toups is building something real at Aldine High School — right where it all began for him. The Mustangs rolled to a 20-5 record last season, went 13-1 in district play and captured back-to-back district titles, cementing themselves as one of the area’s rising programs. Their postseason run ended in the first round against Conroe, but not quietly. Aldine pushed the Tigers to three hard-fought games, leaving little doubt they belonged on the same field. The cupboard is far from bare. District MVP Jansyel Barbosa returns behind the plate, anchoring the lineup and the defense, while brothers Isaiah and Gabriel Nunez give the Mustangs proven, reliable arms on the mound. “It’s all about accountability and discipline here,” Toups said. “We’re a well-rounded, goal-oriented team. Everything we do has a purpose. The goal is to get back to that Conroe ISD district matchup in the first round — and to start building a district dynasty here.”
24. Klein Collins Tigers (6A)
Klein Collins went 18-11-1 overall in 2025 and posted a 10-6 mark in District 15-6A play to earn a spot in the playoffs. The Tigers reached the Area Round before bowing out. Chris Griffin enters 2026 with 219 career coaching victories.
Wharton Junior College-commit Brice Romero will lead the way at shortstop, while first-team, all-district P/3B Issac Gutierrez will be a key piece as well. Other players to watch include Tice Hudson (OF/P), Bryson Session (P/IF), Noah Deason (C/OF), Noah Melendez (P/1B), Gio Compean (IF) and Andrew Guillory (P/OF).
