AWARD SZN: 2024 All-VYPE Baseball Teams powered by Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine
With the Spring season having reached its exhilarating conclusion, it's time to examine all the phenomenal teams and athletes which stood out on the high school baseball diamond, in both the public and private school sectors.
The Tomball Cougars proved to audiences exactly why they were speculated to be the No. 1 team in the state, by claiming the UIL-6A State Title with their 4-1 win over fellow super-power Pearland, marking their first championship since 2013.
Furthermore, teams such as Magnolia West, Bridgeland, Cy-Fair, Lake Creek, Clear Springs, Willis, Memorial, Friendswood, and Santa Fe were among the multitude of H-Town clubs to enjoy lengthy runs in the postseason.
In the private school sector, Second Baptist claimed their seventh TAPPS-II championship, with their 10-7 victory against Southwest Christian, while St. John’s went on to win their first-ever SPC state title after edging out Episcopal by the score of 6-4.
Other notable ball-clubs from 2024 include Concordia Lutheran, Cypress Christian, Kinkaid, St. Pius X, Lutheran South Academy, Houston Christian, and St. Thomas.

ROUNDING THIRD: Public School Baseball Rankings entering the postseason
With the final week of the regular season upon us, several teams have shaken up the overall outlook of the upcoming playoffs.
While Tomball and Pearland remain atop the rankings, teams such as Cinco Ranch, Klein Cain, and Kingwood have made significant runs to contend for district titles. Also, don't sleep on Ridge Point, Cy Ranch, Oak Ridge, Cy Woods, or Strake Jesuit as the postseason approaches.
In Class 5A, both Fulshear and Foster are neck-and-neck in District 20-5A, with both clubs having yet to be defeated against their district counterparts. Perennial challengers such as Friendswood, Porter, Lake Creek, and Kingwood Park are also likely to make considerable pushes in the coming weeks.
Now, here are the final regular season rankings in Houston baseball.
