The Texas high school season kicks off on February 19, the first day for regular season games. Most teams will begin practicing on January 26, getting their rosters set and finalizing their lineups.

Over the next several weeks, leading up to opening day, we will be rolling out team previews of high school teams all across the state and across all classifications, eventually launching our Preseason Power 25.

We have been sending out our annual Preseason Questionnaire to coaches all across the state and as the responses flood in we will bring you a snapshot of what to expect along with top players and keys to success for that particular team. If you don’t see your team’s season preview make sure your head coach fills out his Preseason Questionnaire.

SEASON PREVIEW

Returning one pitcher and five starters, Coach Jason Bourgeois and the Vista Ridge Rangers will rely on their stout defense and offensive prowess to keep them in games until a set pitching rotation emerges. A pair of All-District outfielders, OF Andrew Chapa (Second Team) and OF Jacob Wilson (First Team) will combine to cover the outfield, while 1B/C Brady Nevit (2017 Newcomer of the Year), SS/2B Gannon Azios and 3B/1B Jake Taute will be the key players on the infield.
