No. 2 -- Friendswood Mustangs
2023: 28-6-2 (District 18-5A Champions/Regional Quarterfinalist)
Following yet another district title, Friendswood was knocked out of the playoffs sooner than expected last season, exiting the bracket in the third round courtesy of Barbers Hill.
Rest assured, the Mustangs will still be one of the strongest clubs in the state.
The likes of district Utility MVP Kyle Lockhart, Offensive MVP Peyton Adams, and first-teamers Dane Perry (Texas Tech-commit) and Dawson Hinson will headline Friendswood’s formidable roster, as coach Robert Benavides and company intend to make a statement in 2024.
Additionally, Nebraska-signee Blake Encarnacion will anchor a pitching staff of Lockhart and Houston Rhodes.
