It's interesting that Tomball doesn't get the hype that other teams do, until they are further into play-offs. Some of these same posters predicted nothing from Tomball last year, yet they made it to State. Woodlands does have a fantastic team, but they are not unbeatable. Tomball beat them 2-1 in fall ball. Any given day, the "unbeatable" #1 ranked teams can lose to a team that plays with alot of heart and desire. I have seen alot of heart from Tomball year in and year out. Even in years where they were #4 in district, they have gone deep in play-offs. They also have many D1 starters. I believe it's 6, with another committed to a quality D2 school and others with D1 offers that are being considered. Their whole line-up can hit and even deep into the bench, they have some awesome hitters. Of the 9 starters, 8 have gone yard this year, with several girls around the 10 HR mark (or more for one of the players) for the season. Good luck to both teams as we'd love to see Houston teams at State!
