Baseball and soccer at Houston High was in the spotlight this week.

 

The baseball team is preparing to host the upcoming District 15-4A tournament as the No. 1 seed thanks in large part to the hitting of Collin Bland. The junior first baseman — who is committed to SEC powerhouse Vanderbilt — has already broken the school’s single-season home run record, thanks to his diligent preparation and a special pregame meal.

 

The soccer team, meanwhile, picked up an impressive victory against archrival Collierville this week and seems to have found its goal-scoring touch. That coach make the Mustangs dangerous with the postseason beginning next week.
