HEATING UP: LSA gaining momentum amid district play
Things have only improved for Lutheran South as they currently hold a 12-6 record, and are neck-and-neck with TWCA and FBCA for the top spot in their division (3-1 district record).
LSA's Blaine BirkelbachBradley C. Collier (VYPE)
LSA’s bullpen has been lights out through the first half of Spring Ball, particularly with junior RHP Roland Aguillon, senior LHP Blaine Birkelbach (2022 first-team all-district), RHP Logan Schmidt (Sr.), and RHP Zeke Ramirez (So.), on the mound.
In addition to the talent shown by the Pioneers’ pitching and defense, their batting has proven to be even more of a threat to opponents.
LSA's Victor Coronado (Left) and Marcus Cantu (Right) Bradley C. Collier (VYPE)
Sophomore IF/RHP Victor Coronado (Texas-commit), along with senior Catcher Ethan Hughes, 3B Rowdy Sowers (Sr.), freshman INF Marcus Cantu, and OF Brody Smith (So.), just to name a few, have been putting on a clinic while at bat.

With FBCA and St. John XXIII on tap, the remainder of their district schedule will begin LSA’s journey to reclaim their 2021 State Championship form.
Expect more action to come from the Pioneers.

No. 4-Lutheran South Academy Pioneers
2022: 27-10 (2nd in TAPPS-D2 District/ State Semifinalists)
HC: Aaron Schneider
Given that the LSA Pioneers were the TAPPS-D2 Champions for three consecutive years (2019-21), it's astounding that falling in the State Semis to division rival Second Baptist School, would be considered an upset. However, an appearance in the Final Four should never be dismissed, and the Pioneers will be determined to reclaim their D2 Title. Coach Aaron Schneider is back for his 11th year with several key returning pieces -- first-team, all-district senior OF/LHP Blaine Birkelbach (Alvin CC), Rowdy Sowers(Sr.), and Texas-commits Victor Coronado (Soph.) and Marcus Cantu (Fr.). Count on it. Lutheran South will give the defending champs a run for their money this Spring.
