19. Summer Creek Bulldogs (6A)
Summer Creek heads into 2026 looking to build on a 21-10 campaign that saw the Bulldogs finish third in District 23-6A and sweep Deer Park to open the playoffs before falling in the Area Round. Head coach DJ Wilson now turns his attention towards optimizing a group that has been seasoned by postseason experience.
Senior RHP Trevyn Turner (Texas State commit) helps lead the charge, bringing a diverse assortment of pitches and ready to take on a larger role this spring. Junior Caleb Alexander, a first-team all-district selection, went 6-3 with a 2.62 ERA while hitting over .250.
Second-team outfielder Bryce Hudson (.364 BA, 13 RBIs) and honorable mention catcher Aiden Salinas (.300 BA, 16 RBIs) provide additional firepower, while Myles Lewis (Sr. 1B) and David Doran (Jr. OF) further bolster a veteran-laden SCHS lineup.
