The rich get richer. Houston's girls' lacrosse has been dominated by St. John's, but there are a few other programs who are getting some state shine.
The Mavs have filled their trophy case with state trophies over the past few decades, but Kinkaid has it rolling right now. The Falcons reached the state finals last season and are VYPE's No. 1.
Returners for Kinkaid include Chloe Hunter (Penn), Mikela McCauley (Dartmouth), Gabriella Fuller, Nakeeya McCardell and Lila Griggs.Regan Arkless (UC-Davis)
The upstart Highlanders of The Woodlands are trending of late with returners Shaelin Murphy (Fairfield), Clare Finney (Catholic University) and Madeleine Saucier.
The Woodlands could contend for another state appearance.
St. John's is loaded again with Caroline Pressler, Andie Kapiloff (Swarthmore) and Alex Lewis back in the fold, while Charlotte Dale (Detroit Mercy), Sophie Chong-Ahmed (Central Michigan), Caleigh Wilbourn (Stony Brook) and Kaelin Issacson run the show for Lamar.

Astros carved up 2 of the NL’s best, but that’s just part of the story
Jun 30, 2025, 4:53 pm
The Houston Astros announced on Monday that additional imaging has revealed that Jeremy Peña is dealing with a small fracture in one of his ribs.
Peña left Friday's game after being hit by a pitch in the ribs. The club originally believed they had avoided any fractures or breaks, but new information has informed them otherwise.

Peña is heading to the 10-day injured list retroactive to June 28. This news comes at an unfortunate time, with Jeremy posting the best regular season numbers of his career. He's currently slashing .322, .378, .489 with an .867 OPS.
Peña will miss the Rockies and Dodgers series at a minimum.
Story on Peña headed to the IL with quotes from Dana Brown.
“This isn’t one of those things where you have to be sidelined the whole time. Once the inflammation goes down, he might feel good enough to swing a bat.” https://t.co/ih2G09Jpcf

Let's hope the team doesn't rush him back too soon and create an even bigger problem. These quotes above from Dana Brown have me concerned. Playing through injuries can create bad habits, and Jeremy has clearly found his swing this season.
