VYPE Player of the Game Alyssa LeBlanc’s complete game shutout, 7 strikeouts, 2 hits and late steal helped Katy beat Keller 1-0 in the UIL 6A state semifinal.

What a volleyball season!

Fulshear climbed the mountain and won it all in Class 4A for its first state championship in program history. The Chargers were led by State Tournament MVP Alexis Dacosta.

Other quality finishes included Friendswood and Ridge Point reaching the state tournament. Friendswood was led by UIL State All-Tournament team selection Ashlyn Svoboda, while Ridge Point was guided by Kentucky-signee Reagan Rutherford.
