CHARGER UP: Fulshear Looking To Continue Success Moving Up To 6A
Following an undefeated (14-0) district championship in 2024, the Chargers were unexpectedly eliminated in the Area Round by Port Neches-Groves in Game 3.
This season, they are determined to bounce back as they move up to District 20-6A, where they’ll face new challenges from teams like the Alief schools, along with familiar opponents such as Foster and George Ranch.
The Chargers return plenty of talent, led by senior pitcher and infielder Ty Powell, the 2024 District 20-5A MVP. Committed to Texas State, Powell was a dual-threat last season, posting a 7-1 record on the mound and hitting .354 at the plate.
Alongside Powell, Fulshear boasts an experienced roster, including first-team all-district selections: Mark Macklin (Jr. OF), Logan Hudson (Sr. 3B), and Mason Schultz (Sr. 2B), who is committed to McMurry University. Senior left-hander Guy Arroyos (first-team) will strengthen the bullpen, while Riley Chamberlain (Sr. SS), Jake McIntire (Sr. 1B), and Hunter Nedd (Sr. OF) provide additional leadership.
A rising star, sophomore Dominic “Trey” Giametta (So. P/DH) – the District Newcomer of the Year and an Alabama-commit – adds even more versatility and intrigue to the squad. Suffice it to say, Fulshear is loaded and should make an impactful introduction to the Class 6A scene.

THE FALCONS: Foster Is Primed For Another Playoff Run
Under the direction of 19th-year head coach Mike Tosch, Foster enjoyed one of their most successful campaigns over the past decade last spring.
After finishing second overall in the district, the Falcons proceeded to advance three rounds deep into the playoffs, marking the first time they’ve done so since 2018.
Now that Tosch and company move up a classification, into District 20-6A, they’ll be faced with greater challenges, though that shouldn’t phase them too much.
Senior outfielder Kai Kirchheiner is back after receiving second-team, all-state honors for his remarkable performance at the plate (.411 BA, 46 hits, 32 RBI, 31 runs) in 2024. Aiden Poirier (Sr. IF) put up some solid numbers (.363 BA, 43 hits, 21 RBI, 28 runs) as well, which earned himself a first-team, all-district nod.
Another key returning starter for Foster will be senior Oscar Trevino (.330 BA, 33 hits, 27 RBI), who will play a critical role on defense as the team’s catcher. Other important names to remember are Brayden Stringer (Sr. IF/Texas Lutheran-commit), Paxton Dagley (Sr. 3B), and Landry Heath (Sr. OF).
