In preparation for the weather forecast, we are going to flip games. We’ll play the Varsity at 4:30 and then follow it up with the JV if the weather holds out.
Due to deteriorating field conditions and the impending weather forecast of rain and cold temperatures, we’ve decided to cancel the rest of the TWHS Varsity Round Robin Invitational Tournament. A big THANK YOU to the teams and fans from Bellaire, Cinco Ranch, Cy Ranch, Klein Oak and Liberty for helping to make this another successful tournament! We’d like to wish everyone the best of luck throughout the rest of the season!
2022 TWHS Varsity Tournament Schedule (1)
Below you can find information regarding parking, ticket prices and game times. Enjoy your time at Highlander Field!
Thursday – The closer to 3:00 people show up the better as it will allow the school traffic to exit. It will probably be easiest to park in the back lot by the cafeteria and walk to the field. Enter through the east most entrance at the end of the school and drive around the building. Once you come to the back of the building, there is a large parking lot next to some portable classroom buildings. Park there and walk to the concession stand. That is where the entrance to the park is. If you park in the front of the school, walk along the tennis courts to the back. Once you clear the tennis courts, you will see the field to the left. For the later games, more spots should be open closer to the field but you might be better off closer to the concession stand as that is where the entrance is.
Friday – As this is a school day, the parking lots will be full for students, faculty and staff. All visitors should enter the bus ramp on Millenium Forest and park in the grass median or along Millenium Forest. This will be at the west most end of the school past the large student parking lot. The spaces by the field are reserved for faculty and we have some who travel between campuses and will need those spaces later in the day. Once school is out at 2:35, people are more than welcome to pull around the back of the school and park by the field. But before 2:35, we need everyone to park in the front in the grass around the bus ramp or along Millenium Forest.
Saturday – No parking restrictions! Pull around the back of the school and park in an open spot.
Ticket prices will be $6 a day or a tournament pass for $15 for adults while students and seniors will be $4 a day or $10 for a tournament pass. We’ll have the concession stand open with plenty of hot food choices. Cash and Venmo will be accepted.

The NFCA High School All-America teams are voted on by a committee of member head coaches from the pool of players who were nominated and earned first-team All-Region recognition in the five high school regions. The three 16-member squads had representation from 19 different states.
Headlining the first team were four 2021 state Gatorade Players of the Year, highlighted by Gatorade National Player of the Year, Jordyn Bahl, a pitcher from Papillion (Neb.)-LaVista High School.
