Shepherd High School lost 2 seniors of impact to graduation in 2025 but are gaining at least 3-4 freshmen that are select/travel players to replace those losses. A few of the sophomores found travel teams and kept competing over the summer. Coach Martin has one Division 1 commit in Isabelle Hooper (UT Arlington) Senior 19-4A Pitcher of the Year, Jayce Wilson Senior power hitter/pitcher returning from injury, Skylee Lagow a sophomore that plays for Hustle National and she anticipate 2 more commitments before signing day.
They lost in the Regional Semi-Finals to the eventual 4A DII state champions Waco Robinson in two games, but the games were CLOSE, Shepherd had runners in position and 1 or 2 extra hits away each game from beating Robinson and if you look at the rest of Robinson's game to the Championship, they were a series of blowouts.
2026 should be a very exciting season imo for Shepherd High School Lady Pirates
