PLAY BALL: No. 2 Cypress Christian going back-to-back?
No. 2 Cypress Christian Warriors
What a first season to remember for Jessi Harvey as a coach.
In her inaugural season, Harvey guided Cypress Christian to a 20-3 mark and captured the TAPPS 3A State Championship in the process. Like I said, not a bad year.
Six starters come back off that team for 2024, setting the expectations at repeat-level in the halls of Cypress Christian. District MVP, first-team, all-state selection and State All-Tournament Team pick Sarah Olenick is back after hitting .524 with 35 runs scored in 2023.
Fellow first-team, all-staters Megan Smith (.509, 30 RBIs, 2 HR) and Audrey Petrowski (.424. 10-1 as a starter, 11 saves) also return to solidify a core group. Another player to watch is Macie Dammeyer.
“We have a strong core of starters returning,” Harvey said. “And a few freshmen who will be immediate impact players.”
