We broke down each team to the basics and how they stack against each other. H-Town’s back burner teams are ready to explode. Cy Ranch, Bellaire, St. Thomas and Klein are teams to watch. 42 -SOFTBALL’S PRESEASON TOP 10 We looked at the ladies of Space City’s softball world. Pearland made their mark in history taking the state championship last year and stole our top spot once again. Hiding in the background however, are Tomball, The Woodlands and Bellaire, who are waiting to take this year’s rings.
