BASES LOADED: No. 20 The Woodlands softball on the rebuild
No. 20 The Woodlands Highlanders
The Woodlands has been a staple when it comes to talking about perennial playoff softball programs in Houston.
Entering the 2024 season, the Highlanders have made it into the big dance for 20-straight seasons. Tim Borths’ squad enters this year coming off a 25-win season, which saw them reach the Area Round of the playoffs.
Two starters are back off that team. Players to watch include Victoria Serrano (second-team, all-district), Lauren Phillips (honorable-mention, all-district), Emma Warrington (honorable-mention, all-district), Avery Vasel, Gabby Grieco, Kallie Matthews, Reagan McCoy, Allie Tatum and Gracie Rue (Schreiner University).
Keys to success for Borths’ team include playing CASA (Calm and Smooth Always). The Highlanders’ motto for 2024 is simple – Conquer.
