No. 1 Barbers Hill Eagles
Barbers Hill is not far removed from winning a Class 5A State Championship, capturing it back in 2021.
Last year, Barbers Hill went 39-6 overall and reached the Regional Semifinals before falling to eventual State Champion Lake Creek in a pair of nail-biting losses (1-0, 5-3 in nine innings).
Now, the Eagles want to get back on top in 2024.
Six starters are back for Aaron Fuller’s (376 overall wins, 293 at Barbers Hill) crew.
Kentucky-commit Hailey Nutter (27-5 Record, 1.09 ERA, 291 K’s) and Sam Houston-commit Peyton Helmly (.276 Avg., 12 doubles, 4 HR, 37 RBI) headline the crew as the reigning District MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, respectively.
Other players to watch include Brookelyn Livanec (Wichita State), Harper Gonzalez (LeTourneau), Kennedy Porter (Arlington Baptist), Bre Norman (San Jac), Kamryn Bishop, Emma Hargrave, Kalyln Koester, Ella Mangus, Emerson Naismith, AshLynn Cooper, Macie Bryant, Savannah Barrientos, Aybrie Corona, Izzy Lawrence and JosLynn Cooper.
