No. 5--Foster Falcons Softball
2022: 19-6 (Regional Quarterfinalists)
HC: Keely ShulerThe Foster Falcons sent a shockwave through the Class 5A playoffs a year ago when they upended the defending Class 5A State Champion Barbers Hill Eagles 2-1 in a one-game playoff.
The Falcons went on to reach the Regional Quarterfinals, where they fell to eventual Regional Finalist Santa Fe.
It all starts with Arkansas-commit Ella McDowell.The junior is ranked No. 3 in the nation in the Class of 2024 by Extra Inning Softball and will pace this offense. She will be in line for her third-straight District MVP Award.
Madison King returns as the ace in the circle after being named the District 24-5A co-Pitcher of the Year.
This fall was a busy signing day as Alina Satcher (Grand Canyon University), Mickayla Tosch (McClennan CC), and Katelyn Barrett (Southern Arkansas University Tech) all signed.
Also watch out for Bailey Lechler, who was a first-team, all-district first baseman a year ago.
