THE RANKINGS: No. 23 - Katy Tompkins Falcons
Second-year coach Shay Orsak returns eight starters to the lineup for 2025 as Katy Tompkins seeks a 10th-straight playoff appearance. The Falcons went 16-14 a year ago and reached the Area Round of the postseason.
Denison University-commit Leah Gershman is coming off a first-team, all-district campaign in the circle, while Montana State University Billings-commit Cami Hearn earned a second-team, all-district nod as an infielder. Lex Cebrero was named the District 19-6A Newcomer of the Year in 2024 and looks to build off that season.
Other key returners include Peyton Ebel (first-team, all-district infield); second-team, all-district infielders Chloe Grigsby and Kaylee Segura and second-team, all-district outfielder Lainey Wilkerson. Also watch for honorable-mention selections Kima Sepic and Savannah Darling.
“The keys to success for our team this season are hard work, discipline, and unwavering focus,” Orsak said. “We’re committed to the process— mastering the fundamentals, holding each other accountable, and giving our best effort every game.”

FLY, FALCONS, FLY: No. 20 Tompkins following DeLeon's pin-point shooting
The Falcons could be considered a sleeping giant in the Greater Houston Area.
Katy Tompkins returns four starters off a team that went 29-7 overall and 14-2 in 19-6A play. Last season came to an end in the Bi-District round but with the starters back in the huddle for 12th-year coach Tammy Ray (245-103), this team is primed to make a run.
First-team, all-district pick Rihanna DeLeon (UTPB-commit) is a three-point specialist for the Falcons after making 118 a year ago, including draining 15 in a game against Hardin-Jefferson. Other players to watch include Sascha Coughran, Kate Hopkins, Haylie Panter and Kayli Jensen. Staying healthy will be one of the keys to success for the Falcons as they “Play Fast-Be Relentless” this season.
