A year after his 4-6A Newcomer of the Year honor, sophomore Camden Dean has been named 1st Team All-District outfielder!

Playing CF, Cam hit over .400 in district play, with 3 doubles, 4 triples, a 💣, and drew 11 walks. He also saw time on the mound, picking up the W vs. Eaton to start our 9 game win-streak and march to the playoffs.

Cam is the #1 OF in the 2028 class according to @PrepBaseball_TX, 11th player overall in the state, and is nationally ranked by both PBR and @PerfectGameUSA.

Congratulations, Camden, on your back-to-back season honors. The best is yet to come!

Sophomore Matthew Heredia was named District 4-6A Newcomer of the Year!

Starting at SS and batting 3-hole as a 10th grader for the Dragons, Matthew hit .360 in district play with 4 doubles, 3 triples, 10 RBI and provided strong defense in the field. He also threw some relief innings on the mound in high-leverage spots.

Congratulations, Matthew, on your All-District honor. Excited for your junior year!

For the second straight season, Cooper Newby was selected 2nd Team All-District catcher.

A switch-hitting junior, Cooper once again carried the bulk of our innings behind the plate and led the district with 10-of-24 caught stealing. He is the highest ranked #uncommitted catcher in the 2027 Texas class according to @PrepBaseball_TX.

Congratulations, Cooper! We can't wait for your senior year!

AJ on fire!

Senior Shawn Arterburn was selected 2nd team All-District outfielder by the 4-6A coaches.

A three year contributor on varsity, Shawn brought leadership both on and off the field this season. A fixture at the top of the lineup, Shawn hit nearly .300 in district play and manned both corner outfield spots for the Dragons.

Congratulations, Shawn!

Another member of our 2028 class, AJ Bonnette was selected 2nd team All-District this past season.

A two-way talent who also hit and played 1B, AJ was strong on the mound, where he posted a 3.83 district ERA and threw against L.D. Bell and Keller Central during our 9 game winning streak.

His best performance was in game 1 of the playoffs vs Boswell, hurling an 8-inning CGSO, with 0 walks and 15 K's. 👀

AJ is ranked as the #3 LHP in his class in Texas by @PrepBaseball_TX and #6 by @Texas_PG.

Congratulations, AJ! Big things ahead on 2027/2028!

Senior Gavin Strange was selected as a 2nd team All-District outfielder in 4-6A. In 16 district games, he batted over .300 with 3 doubles and a 💣to provide a spark at the top of the Dragon lineup, while contributing defensively at all 3 outfield positions.

A two-sport standout, Gavin is one of the nation's top kickers and is committed to play for @DukeFOOTBALL beginning this fall.

Congratulations, Gavin, and best of luck on the gridiron with the Blue Devils!

Over the coming days we will recognize individual accomplishments from our 2026 season, including 7 Dragons who were selected for 4-6A All-District honors in what many believe is the most competitive district in Texas high school baseball.

Let's start with Dane Thornton @GameDane_ who was chosen 2nd Team All-District infielder. Solid both offensively and defensively all year and a big part of our push to the playoffs, Dane's 14 walks were second in the district and he was the only infielder to not commit a district error.

Dane is the 8th ranked SS and 24th overall player in the 2028 class in the state of Texas, and 250th nationally, according to @Texas_PG.

Congratulations, Dane!
