Team Summary
Coach Monte Huggins and his Tomball Memorial Wildcats look to return to the Playoffs in 2021 after an early exit in 2019. Coach Huggins believes in the Wildcat's overall team speed and their ability to defend. With only two returning Pitchers, Coach Huggins will look for some Varsity newcomers to step up on the mound. The two returners on the mound are 2022 RHP Brian Panneton (Texas State Commit) and 2021 LHP Silas Jones who got off to a hot start in 2020 Striking out 19 in 15 IP. Returning in the lineup for the Wildcats is 2022 OF Jeric Curtis, 2022 SS Robert Oropeza, 2021 C Jad Oestrike, 2021 OF/RHP Perry Kyles (Southern Commit), 2022 UTL/RHP Zach Fields and 2022 1B/DH Marshall Hale who led the team in BA and RBIs in 2020. The Wildcats have their eyes on a playoff berth in 2021 while leaning on their athleticism and defense to get them there.
