What gives? Atascocita won District 21-6A but was bounced out in the second round of the postseason.
Well, the Eagles ran into red-hot Strake Jesuit, who reached the State Semis. Coach Eric Matthews has some star power back in the lineup in 2022 with a deeper playoff run in his sights.
It all starts with District MVP Kendall George, who earned the award as a sophomore. The Arkansas-commit is a five-tool talent with great leadership qualities. Joining him in the outfield is Chase Sowell, a Colorado-signee for football.
He has a big arm, can catch anything in his vicinity and can hit for power and average. Bennie Qualls is a sure- handed middle-infielder and the ace looks to be righty Parker Matthews, who will play his college ball at Abilene Christian. The district title will be a cinch but getting deeper in the Regional Tourney in the goal.
