ADVICE: Moving to Houston

M my3sonsaz10+ posts
I am relocating my family to the NW Houston area. We have not decided where to move yet, we know it will be in the NW area(Cypress, Tomball, Jersey Village, etc.). I have an incoming Sophmore (6' 180lbs 15yo)that has been playing year round club ball since he was 9. He lettered at a 5A school in the Phoenix area as a Freshman. He played 7 positions last year between the JV and the Varsity, finishing the year as the starting 1st baseman throughout the state playoffs. He pitches, 82-87, sits around 84 mph with a change and slider. Can anyone give me a little advice on what schools would fit him in that area? I would really appreciate any help. my3sonsaz@gmail.com

It's been some years since I lived there, and I didn't coach in that area.
Tomball is a single HS town, used to be 4a, may be 5a now, and had a great FB program at one time.
Cypress, last I remember, had 4 high schools-Cy-Fair and JV were the oldest, followed by Cy-Creek, then Cy-Falls. Oh, I think they opened Cy-Springs(?) right after I moved. They had another one or two on the drawing board 7 years ago, so at least one of them is probably open-the growth in that area was crazy.
I can't tell you anything about their programs-I think one of them won the state 5a championship this spring.

I watched the game the day it was played (from my living room unfortunately). I graduated from Spring High School this past year so I'm pretty familiar with Houston area programs. They are in the district that Tomball is in. PM me if you need anything. Cy-Fair is one of the best in the entire Houston area. They consistently make deep playoffs runs every year and finally put it together this year, Langham Creek is also very good.

Like My3sonz, I may be moving my family to the Houston/Woodlands area. UpnIn, can you give me a little more detail of "HS baseball in Houston is tough to break into." Does this mean that it is very political or very competitive? I have a soon to be 13 year old who is in the 7th grade that has played at the highest level since age 8. Physically, I expect him to be 6'4" or bigger within the next couple of years. Being able to compete should not be a problem, if he continues to advance his skills.

High School Baseball in Houston has no more politics than anywhere else Ive either been to or read about throughout the state of Texas. It is highly competitive due to the sheer number of high quality student athletes available to most programs. If your student athlete can compete at a high level he should have no problem fitting in.

ADVICE on Moving to Houston - DON'T DO IT!


Well, thats your opinion. Here's mine. Houston is a great city full of oportunities for both young and old. Like any other major city, there are obvious problems here and there, but none unlike ANY other major city. They all have their problems. The oportunity is here, it is what you make of it.
