Behind the Playbook: New Caney's Brady Pennington

The histories of Round Rock and Vandegrift baseball couldn’t be much different. It’s a shocking development if Round Rock doesn’t win a district title or at least make the playoffs and advance at least a couple of rounds – if not further. When the UIL State Baseball Tournament is held just a couple of miles away at Round Rock’s Dell Diamond, it’s easy to see why baseball DNA infuses the Dragons.

Vandegrift’s baseball program has seen success on a smaller scale. The Vipers reached the playoffs for just the fifth time last week in this, the program’s 16th season, have never finished higher than fourth in district, and are still looking for their first district title and first post-season win.
