The ‘Stangs are loaded with next-level stars, including Texas A&M-signee Boots Landry (first-base), RHP Easton Tumis (University of Texas), junior RHP/OF Kyle Lockhart (Oklahoma), and sophomore 3B/OF/C Dane Perry (Texas Tech).
Coach Robert Benavides has been spoiled with talent in his five-year career at FHS, and he will look to steer the ship toward making history in 2023.

Last season, Lake Creek baseball made history by becoming district champions for the second time since the school opened in 2018. However, they didn’t stop there. The Lions built upon their 28-7 record with a five-round playoff run that abruptly ended with a defeat to the eventual State Finalists Friendswood Mustangs.
Coach Jeremy Schramm (69 wins in 4 years) and his talented roster seek to build on last season’s tremendous success and push their program further into the playoffs.
The Lions will feature senior playmakers such as Texas A&M-signee Weston Moss, Blake Brown (SHSU), and outfielder Sam Lee (Arkansas), as well as district first-teamers INF/OF/P Samson Pugh (Texas State) and INF/P Ethan Uribe.
