VYPE Coaches Corner: Kingwood Softball Coach Christa Williams-Yates; Playoff Preview
The Kingwood Mustangs enter the third round of the UIL-6A postseason as one of the top programs in the state, and now prepare to take on Alvin to cap off the week, with the intention of reaching the Regional Tournament.
In her first year with the team, softball legend and head coach Christa Williams-Yates has aided in Kingwood's re-emergence as a state contender, while establishing a new culture on the diamond.
VYPE's Matthew Ogle spoke with Williams-Yates, discussing the Mustangs' culture-change, their preparation for Alvin, and more.

The stars of 2023-24 Kingwood Baseball
BASES LOADED: High expectations for No. 12 Kingwood amid culture-change
No. 12 -- Kingwood Mustangs
2023: 27-9-3 (District 21-6A Champions/Regional Quarterfinalist)
The Mustangs elevated their recent pitching coach and former Kingwood player Michael Oros to the role of head coach over the course of the off-season, which should only strengthen the chemistry of the program.
After cruising through district en route to a third round appearance in the 2023 postseason, the sky’s the limit for KHS.
First-team all-district selections Sammy Soto, Brian Schumacher, Caden Wellmann, and Caden Callaway return to anchor Kingwood’s relatively youthful roster that’s undergoing a culture-change.
All signs point to another trip to the playoffs for the Mustangs.
