THE RANKINGS: No. 8 - Bellaire Cardinals
Brien Tuffly enters year 28 of leading the Bellaire Cardinals. In that span, he has amassed 681 wins and is in line to get career win No. 700 in 2025. A total of seven starters return for Tuffly off a team that went 24-13 and reached the Area Round of the playoffs.
Xavier University-commit Isabella Rivera and Emory University-commit Lauren Magid return to the mix this year after earning first-team and second-team, all-district honors, respectively.
Other returners include first-team, all-district pick Alessandra Filis and second-teamers Ava Skow, Sophie Donalson, Sophia Alvarado, and Meaghan Lande.
According to Tuffly, the defensive play of the Cardinals will be the key to their success this season.
