VYPE Coaches Corner: Brazoswood Softball Coach Laura Oltman; Playoff Preview
With the Regional Tournament of the Texas high school softball playoffs upon us, the level of talent remaining has grown exponentially.
Look no further than Brazoswood (31-7), who enters Round No. 4, following an instrumental sweep over the 2023 Class 6A state champions -- Pearland -- in last week's contest.
Now, they face another challenge, however they've been getting prepared for this all Spring.
VYPE's Matthew Ogle spoke with head coach Laura Oltman, ahead of the Buccaneers' highly anticipated series versus Katy, as they look to punch their ticket to the Region III Final.

BASES LOADED: Tanner propels No. 12 Brazoswood
No. 12 Brazoswood Lady Bucs
Brazoswood has been a perennial playoff team in the Houston area, making it for 19-straight years heading into 2024.
Led by legendary coach Laura Oltman, who has 711 career coaching wins overall and 570 of those at Brazoswood, the Lady Bucs return four starters off a 29-win squad that reached the Area Round a year ago.
Tennessee-commit Peyton Tanner leads the charge by holding it down in the circle for Brazoswood. Last year, Tanner was the District 24-6A MVP after punching out 321 batters with a 0.716 ERA in 2023. Those are ridiculous numbers.
Mia Estrello (.317, first-team, all-district), Siannah Nava (.309, first-team, all-district), Jazlynn Soliz (Hilbert College), Bre Allen, Ali Rios and Audrey Sierra are others to take note of for 2024.
