PLAY BALL: VYPE's Private School Softball Rankings No. 2 FBCA Eagles

No. 2

Fort Bend Christian Academy Eagles

2022: 21-9 (TAPPS Division II State Runner-Up)

Coach: Kelli Jacoby

It wasn’t a bad inaugural season as the head coach at FBCA for Kelli Jacoby. The coach, who had been at FBCA 15 years prior to the 2022 season as an associate head coach, took over the reins last year. In her first year, Jacoby helped guide the Eagles to the TAPPS Division II State Championship game. Now, they will have to replace some big names - like Avery Hodge, who signed with Oklahoma - but they have some key pieces back. Ten starters return off the team that was one win away from hoisting the ultimate prize. Hadley Hodge returns after a second-team, all-state season where she batted .500 with 24 RBIs and 12 stolen bases. Jaelyn Lee is back after an honorable mention, all-state performance and finished the year with a .481 batting average and 28 RBIs. Other key returners include Victoria Harrison and Reese Heflin. Keys to success in 2023 includes “working together for one common goal, development and hard work”. The motto - “Respect All, Fear None”.
