THE RANKINGS: No. 22 - Ridge Point Panthers
Ridge Point is coming off a season where the program reached the playoffs after going 16-14 overall. Six starters return for sixth-year coach Lindsey Gage (103-52 at Ridge Point; 189 overall coaching wins) this season.
Kansas-commit Braelyn Daniels leads the way for the Panthers at catcher and utility after being named TGCA All-State and TSWA All-State after hitting .515 with 12 homers, 45 RBIs, 15 stolen bases and recording a 1.118 slugging percentage. University of HoustonVictoria-commit Alysa Perez, Ridge Point’s first baseman, is coming off a first-team, all-district campaign where she hit .429 with 29 RBIs, while shortstop Abi Parker hit .418 with 24 RBIs.
Other players to watch include Kate Pierson (San Jac-commit), Ellie Napoleoni, Ali Rezac, Kennedy Gray and Sadie Dasher. Gage is going to rely on her seniors, who are four-year starters to lead this team into 2025. Other keys to success for Gage include them using their speed, youth and young arms to their advantage.
As for their motto, Gage wants the squad to play with “Control” – Control our attitude, our mindset, our energy, our emotions, our effort.

RUN IT BACK: No. 18 Ridge Point anticipating a deeper run in the playoffs in 2025
18 -- RIDGE POINT PANTHERS
Although they were expected to contend in a ridiculously talented district in 2023, the Panthers (23-11) managed to secure a playoff spot before unfortunately being eliminated by perennial power Seven Lakes in the opener.
Regardless of last year’s result, coach Darren Johnson will see to it that his guys learn from their successes and defeats moving forward.
Ridge Point does have the luxury of bringing back the reigning District MVP Dorian Hayes (Sr. F/G), who recently committed to UTSA, and should continue to elevate the entire roster.
Second-teamer Logan Menefee (Sr. PF/C) provides considerable height and athleticism in the paint, while honorable mentions Nick Oliveri (Sr. PG), Jordan Hill (Sr. G) and Jaden Jinks (Jr. PF) provide even more veteran leadership to a threatening RPHS rotation.
