This past spring marked a significant milestone for Bridgeland, as the Bears advanced to the Regional Final for the first time since becoming a varsity program in the 2018-2019 school year. From the outset, coach Paul Orlando and his staff have cultivated a winning mentality, one that has now elevated the Bears to “State Contender” status.
This momentum is expected to carry into 2025. During their historic run, Bridgeland was only stopped by eventual State Champion Tomball. With the new divisional structure of the UIL playoffs, the Bears are well-positioned for future success, especially with a talented roster returning to the diamond.
On the mound, Christopher Gutierrez (UTSA commit) and Josh Livingston (second-team, all-district) lead a strong pitching staff. In the field, first-teamers Weston Riddle (Sr. IF) and Caleb Simons (Jr. OF), along with Northwestern State-commit Austin Glasscock (Sr. 1B/ LHP), bring veteran experience.
Caden Hinze (second team) and Trey Allen (honorable mention) also return, providing depth across multiple positions. With a mix of established talent and promising players, Bridgeland is well-composed to build on last year’s success and remain a formidable force.

The Panthers return to the diamond after securing their third consecutive district championship within Fort Bend ISD, followed by a two-round playoff run. While their postseason ended earlier than expected last year, the Panthers will likely be motivated to improve on that result in 2025.
Coach Mike Dutka enters his second season at the helm of a program with a strong tradition of success, including a State Tournament appearance in 2021.
A key returning player is senior pitcher Jack McKernan (Texas commit), who is coming off a dominant first team, all-district performance. In addition to McKernan, the Panthers will rely on senior Mason Murphy (Sam Houston State), a second-team all-district selection, as another trusted arm in the bullpen.
Seniors Hayden Willey (DBU) and Jack Ward add plenty of leadership and will continue to contribute both offensively and defensively. Junior IF/RHP Logan Shields is another player to watch, as he is expected to make an impact in multiple areas.
