Tomball meets some new opponents,
District 22-4A
A new district means new competition for Tomball sports teams next year. Predictions are being made as coaches prepare for a different level of play.
Without and previous experience against these other schools, the Cougars will really have to step it up in order to beat these teams.
“Tomball Memorial will be good competition,” said basketball coach Jim Kearns, “as well as the Fort Bend schools.”
Baseball can relate. According to Coach Doug Rush, “Ridge Point has a very good baseball program.”
Tomball football will also have some tough competition, but their main opponent is a different story.
“Tomball Memorial will be a challenge because they are so close to us,” assistant football coach Gary Van Sant said. “Neighbors will be playing neighbors.”
Football has the added wrinkle of having to name a new head coach for the incoming year.
But every sport can agree, Stratford will be the greatest challenge of all. According to Tomball swim coach Jim Sharp, “Stratford has always gone to state…but so have we.”
Some teams will certainly see an easier road to the playoffs. “As of right now, we believe that some of the schools in our district might not even have a girl’s golf team,” said Maryssa Ferries, a sophomore on the golf team.
