Team Preview: Mansfield Legacy
January 29, 2020
The Texas high school season kicks off on February 24, the first day for regular season games. Most teams will begin practicing on January 31, 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
Coach Chris McMullen is looking to break in a new group of players to the varsity level after reaching the 3rd round last season, falling to eventual state champion Colleyville Heritage. Coach McMullen returns three very talented players this season in senior catcher Nate Price (No. 95 in 2020 PBR Texas rankings, committed to New Mexico), junior SS Raef Wright and sophomore RHP/1B Kayden Voelkel (No. 24 in 2022 PBR Texas rankings and No.187 in 2022 PBR overall rankings). Junior RHP Griffin Binkley and sophomore LHP Drake Dowd are also two newcomers to watch for this upcoming season.
