practice how you play

A lot goes through my mind walking into a team’s practice session. While I’m on the job, I try to take it all in and work quickly with the coach and players so they can get back to their teams. On a windy spring day in April at the Dragon baseball field, Coach Larry Vucan and his team couldn’t have been more accommodating as I threw myself and a photographer into the mix before their simulated intrasquad game.

What happened next struck me in a great way. Before the scrimmage’s first pitch, everyone removed their ball caps and stood at attention for the national anthem as it rang through the PA system. I shouldn’t have been surprised at the lengths any Carroll coach would go through to get their teams ready for gamelike conditions, but this one definitely caught my attention. What I was taking part in was the epitome of the phrase I’ve heard and spoken many times throughout my own playing and coaching days — “Practice how you play.”

It's a simple phrase packed with meaning. Working hard today sets up success for tomorrow. More importantly, it means learning to respect the game and your teammates, who are also there to learn and grow together.

As I write this letter, Southlake Carroll sits atop the UIL Lone Star Cup race with a few more sports like golf, track and field, softball and baseball to go before the award is announced in mid-June. As we wrap up our 40th issue of Dragon Pride, one can’t help but continue to be impressed with our student-athletes and their collective accomplishments.

Head Coach: Larry Vucan

Assistant Coaches: Zach Sellers,

ABOUT THE TEAM

Although Carroll returns several players from its 2022 state championship roster, only senior infielders Ethan Mendoza and Ben Tryon saw substantial action, and Mendoza was out with injuries through early April.

Several of last year’s bench players and some newcomers have made the most of their opportunities, as the Dragons (20-14-2) are in second place in a competitive District 4-6A. As the season unfolds, the Dragons look poised to return to the postseason.

“We’ve got enough guys back that understand the culture, but then it’s another thing for them to go out there and build their own legacy,” head coach Larry Vucan says. “That’s the part that they’re doing right now.”

Tryon leads the team in average and RBI (.377, 20 RBI through 21 games), while junior catcher Cody Cashon (.321, 2 HR, 12 RBI in 17 games) is another offensive leader. Senior second baseman Nate Arterburn (.305, 14 RBI, team-high 23 runs scored and 18 stolen bases) was on JV last year, while senior infielder Eric Thiel (.294, 13 RBI) is a first-year starter. Tyler White (.259, 14 RBI) returns as a pitcher and infielder.

Tyler, along with his brother Jared, are the top pitchers this season. Jared (7-1, 0.75 ERA, 35 strikeouts in 46.2 innings) and Tyler (4-0, 1.24 ERA, 52 strikeouts in 39.2 innings) have kept opposing offenses in check.

“If we have a consistent approach and put the ball in play, I think it’s going to be tough to beat us,” Vucan said. “And that’s not just in district, I’m talking about even in the playoffs.”

— Head Coach Larry Vucan

“We haven’t earned anything yet.”

SEASON UPDATE

Carroll head baseball coach Larry Vucan can’t remember the last time his team finished the pre-district portion of the regular season with an impressive record, let alone one much over .500. Such was the case again this season, as the Dragons completed their challenging tournament schedule with a 7-7-2 mark just in time to enter district play.

But an 11-3 record in District showed the payoff of scheduling tough competition early on. Facing highcaliber teams, as well as constructing alternate lineups to test different pitchers and hitters, might result in a few early losses, but the results tell him it’s worth it.

“Sometimes I think if I put my first lineup out there and had a different approach, the (winning) percentage would be higher,” said Vucan, the reigning state coach of the year now in his seventh season. “But in the end, the whole point of that is to build depth.”

The Dragons (20-14-2) are battletested after facing teams like Mater Dei out of California, a powerhouse that plays in one of the toughest high school baseball leagues in the nation. Carroll tied Mater Dei 7-7, but defeated Arkansas state champ Conway 9-3 and perennial Oklahoma power Deer Creek in a 4-1 final.

Slugging it out in a strong district, the Dragons (ranked No. 21 by Diamond Pro/Texas High School Baseball) split two meetings with second-place Keller (15-6-2, ranked No. 24). They also were slated to face Northwest Eaton and Byron Nelson (third and fourth place, respectively) in four of their final six district games.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Luke Sganga is an offense-creating machine. Contributing 63 points (47 goals, 16 assists) for the Southlake Carroll boys lacrosse team with more games left to play, the senior attacker and Utah lacrosse commit is one of several veterans anchoring a talented Dragons squad.

Sganga’s 166 shots through 13 games provide plenty of offense, and he has other weapons to back him up, including senior midfielder Jack Manero (second in shots with 63), junior Quinn Tyler (39 points — 25 goals, 14 assists) and freshman newcomer Max Bushaw (38 points — 31 goals, seven assists).

“I think we’re strong offensively,” says head coach Bruce Frady, whose team averages 12 goals per game. “We returned four offensive guys from last year that are still competing for us this year. We have a ton of experience.”

That experience includes junior midfielder and face-off expert Neel Shenoy. In the “X,” Shenoy wins the ball 67% of the time (172 of 255) to give the Dragons possession and start the offensive attack. Defensively, senior Grant Doby leads a pack of experienced defenders from last season. Doby has created a teamhigh 18 opposition turnovers to give the ball back to Carroll, helping the Dragons hold opponents to 8.4 goals per game.

“He’s the kind of defenseman every coach would want,” Frady says.

SEASON RECAP

To drop a couple of games against No. 1-ranked The Woodlands and No.3-ranked Highland Park near the end of the regular season was understandable, but that doesn’t mean it was acceptable for the Southlake Carroll boys lacrosse team. What brought coach Bruce Frady’s team solace was that they’d likely be seeing those teams again come playoff time.

Frady made sure his team played the cream of the crop this season so they’d be ready for rematches in higher-stake games. Carroll looked off-balance in its April 2 trip to The Woodlands, falling 15-7. However, they were more energized while hosting Highland Park on April 6, leading 8-6 early in the fourth before losing to the Scots 10-8.

Prior to injuries sidelining three senior defenders, the Dragons were ranked tops in state thanks to wins over Westlake (No. 2 in Texas), strong California programs La Costa Canyon, Coronado and San Marcos, as well as Texas state runner-up Episcopal School of Dallas.

After losing its playoff opener to Dallas St. Mark’s in 2022, Carroll was slated to face reigning state champ Jesuit in the regular season finale — an appropriate tuneup for a team with hefty postseason aspirations.

“It’s always about winning a state championship — bottom line, plain and simple,” Frady says. “We’re that good. People know it, and we know it. It’s got to be a next-man-up mentality, and we’ve got to finish.”

“If we want to advance to the championship, we’re going to have to go through teams that we’ve already played . ”

SEASON UPDATE

After graduating 13 seniors from last year, the Lady Dragons lacrosse team had to grow up in a hurry this spring. Injuries and inconsistency plagued Carroll early on, but teamwork and a united effort have led to improved play and could be key to the team’s shot at an extended playoff run.

ABOUT THE TEAM

As the team hopes to collectively extend their season with a winning playoff run this spring, some current and former Lady Dragon teammates already have plans to extend their time playing lacrosse together after their high school careers are over.

Senior midfielder Brooke Jones, who leads Carroll in scoring with 22 goals late in the regular season, has committed to play college lacrosse at Mercer University in Georgia. Fellow Lady Dragon teammate Keira Wallace, a junior midfielder, has already committed to Mercer lacrosse as well.

Keira’s sister, Kayleigh, is currently a freshman on the Mercer team as the three Carroll alums expect to compete together at the next level for years to come. Carroll coach Rainey Hodgson can see why her Mercer-bound midfielders have received lacrosse scholarships.

“(Jones) has been an all-around leader and just puts the team on her back at times,” Hodgson says. “(Keira) is one of our middies who is huge in winning the face-offs and with production on offense and defense.”

Jones is one of four captains for the Lady Dragons, along with senior defender Landry Risenhoover and senior attackers Lola Bushaw and Makenna Mays. Hodgson calls Risenhoover the quarterback of the defense, Bushaw an offensive threat and Mays the heart of the team by bringing energy and hyping the teammates. Sophomore attacker Brooke Sganga is second on the team in scoring with 16 goals.

“Watching them step into those leadership roles has been really inspiring,” Hodgson says.

Facing some challenging opponents this season, Carroll (6-7 with one regular season game remaining) has taken its lumps, but second-year coach Rainey Hodgson is preaching heightened performance in every position on the field.

“It’s going to take a lot of heart and hustle,” says Hodgson, whose team lost by an 11-10 final to Flower Mound in the super regional round of the playoffs in 2022.

The Lady Dragons’ ability was tested in the season finale against the undefeated reigning state champs Hockaday (15-0), which was ranked as the top Division-I girls team in the state by the LAX Numbers poll.

Ranked No. 15 late in the season, Carroll faced quality teams this spring such as No. 2 Austin Anderson (12-0), No. 3 Frisco (10-1), No. 4 Episcopal School of Dallas (6-4), No. 6 St. Michael’s Academy (13-3) and No. 13 Flower Mound (6-4). Each of those meetings ended in losses, but also helped strengthen the Lady Dragons.

“I feel that they are starting to recognize the discipline that is needed to show up and play at that elite level nonstop,” Hodgson says. “It’s got to be everybody stepping up together.”

“When we play a talented team, we outwork them.”

ABOUT THE TEAM

With just one senior and five underclassmen, who exactly would fill the slots for the Lady Dragons’ upcoming golf tournaments was a fluid situation. As the season progressed, it became clear the team’s depth and competitiveness was its greatest strength.

“Our top five has been spread out through the entire [season], so that tells you there’s a little bit of talent on this team,” associate head coach Matt Glenn says. “The whole team has really done their part in being a push, or at least keeping you honest to where you’ve got to go. If you don’t have that, then you’re not going to improve throughout the year.”

Senior Ashley Kim and junior Chiara Brambilla — contributing members of Carroll’s 2022 bronze medal team at state — remain a steady force. Kim provides a consistently low stroke average, while Brambilla is normally not far behind. But the junior shifted into overdrive at the 6A Region I meet, shooting a second-day 65 to set a Region I and course record at Tangle Ridge in Grand Prairie. Behind the experienced duo, the Lady Dragons took first place.

Freshmen Tyler Burtnett and Aubrie Nolen also made huge strides, as did sophomore Chahak Goswami. But all eight members have had their moments throughout the season.

“The young ones are really good at figuring out what their role is and kind of filling in those gaps,” associate head coach Paige Martin says. “They’re following those leaders right now, but I think that’s going to help them later on in developing into leaders themselves.”

SEASON RECAP

Capturing first place at the regional tournament April 17-18, the Lady Dragons returned to state amid an immensely talented field this year. Of the 12 state-bound teams, normally the top four separate themselves from the pack, but Carroll’s coaching staff expects the top six to eight teams to battle it out for the title this year.

“It’ll be a gunfight, for sure,” associate head coach Matt Glenn says about the 6A girls state meet May 15-16 in Georgetown. “You can’t go down there and play average golf. It’s got to be exceptional golf, but I think this group is pretty exceptional.”

The Lady Dragons displayed impressive performances throughout their 10-tournament season, winning three events while taking second, third and fourth in five others. Carroll finished first at the District 4-6A meet and won region by edging out second-place Coppell (607 to 614). Strong finishes were achieved while competing with top-tier programs across the state, including Austin Vandegrift, Coppell, The Woodlands, Austin Westlake and 2022 state champs San Antonio Reagan.

The Swing For the Cure tournament in San Antonio, the Horseshoe Bay tournament and the State Preview were among the toughest meets of the season. At the State Preview in November, the Lady Dragons finished third, trailing only Vandegrift and Reagan — the two teams ahead of Carroll in last year’s 6A state tournament as well.

“Our top five has been spread out… so that tells you there’s a little bit of talent on this team.”

ABOUT THE TEAM

A team with just three returning players and some young additions, Carroll boys golf took its lumps at times this season. Losing the district title to Keller at the 4-6A meet and falling just short of state while competing at the regional meet were two setbacks that stung the most.

But the 2022 team of Dragon varsity golfers grew up quickly through the process, giving Carroll coaches plenty of hope that bigger things aren’t out of the team’s reach in the near future.

“I think they’re on a fast track to playing exceptional golf,” associate head coach Matt Glenn says. “When you’re that young and a coach can say that about you, it means you’ve already got the talent. You hit the golf ball well, you’ve got great work ethic. You can say that they’re right at the point to teeter-totter over into exceptional golf.”

Glenn says three varsity newcomers stood out and established themselves this season, including freshman Andrea Birolini and juniors Luke Evans and Kamp Davis. Glenn calls Birolini a scholar of the game and had the Dragons’ best individual performance of the season when he finished first at the Fall Cup at Waterchase by shooting a two-day 137 (71-66). Evans made a huge jump as a golfer and a leader thanks to his hard work, while Davis exceeded expectations and has become a consistent member of Carroll’s Top 5 players.

Combining those three with juniors returning from the previous year in Joe Brickner, Brian Kopf and Jason Lew gives the team plenty of upside on the course going forward.

“I think they’ll come back with a big roar,” Glenn says.

SEASON RECAP

For the first round of play at the 6A Region I tournament, the Carroll boys golf team overcame its youth and lack of experience to place second amongst an impressively talented group of opponents. However, the second day of the regional tournament was a different story, as the more experienced competition knocked the Dragons down to fifth.

With the top three at region advancing to the state tournament in May, Carroll’s two-day 594 was just three strokes shy of earning a state berth. The fifth-place finish at region was an improvement over the Dragons’ eighth-place finish in 2022 — an impressive feat for a team with no seniors and only three returning members from last season.

Facing star-studded programs at region like Plano West, Richardson Pearce and Allen was nothing new for Carroll, who also faced high-caliber teams like Austin Westlake and The Woodlands in earlier tournaments. The Dragons competed in a tough 52-team field at the Bart Granger Memorial, finishing 10th and becoming battle-tested in challenging meets like the Tiger Classic in Texarkana and the State Preview in Georgetown.

“I think (losing to Keller) kind of sparked our boys,” associate head coach Paige Martin says. “They took a negative and turned it into a positive and came out firing a little more at regionals. Now they know what it means to be in the heat and in the hunt to get to the state tournament.”

“They know what it means to be in the heat and in the hunt to get to the state tournament.”

BOYS SOCCER

ABOUT THE TEAM

Led by a quartet of offensive stars including District Co-Offensive Player of the Year Chais Dickens, the Carroll boys soccer team provided a balanced approach on both sides of the pitch. The team was also laden with the experience of 20 seniors that helped them to finish runners-up in District 4-6A and clinch a playoff spot despite key injuries.

The Dragons (16-7-2 overall) played tough defense that enabled them to finish second in district in goals allowed (16 goals) while giving up a paltry 1.24 goals per game for the season. They also took advantage of their opportunities on offense.

The Dragons scored 54 goals for the season (2.16 per game), led offensively by Dickens (12 goals, five assists). Adding to Carroll’s scoring attack were seniors Peter Bazan (nine goals, eight assists) and John Carr (eight goals, six assists), as well as junior Charlie Su (seven goals, six assists).

Senior goalkeeper Alex Hall surrendered just 17 goals in 24 starts (0.71 average) and was named Co-Goalkeeper of the Year in District 4-6A.

Although the Dragons lose a large number of team members to graduation, 10 players return next season, including eight current sophomores.

“They weren’t just along for the ride — they were either starting or getting substantial minutes over the course of the season,” Carroll coach Chris Padilla says. “I think the mentality of the players that are going to be returning puts us in a really good position to fill that void.”

SEASON RECAP

It’s rare for a team to actually perform stronger and better after being dealt injuries to key players. But that’s exactly how things played out for the Carroll boys soccer team after two defensive pillars went down early in district play.

Senior captains and starting center backs Parker Owens and Stefano Palmer were influential leaders on and off the field. With injuries removing them from the team’s equation in a challenging District 4-6A schedule, Carroll’s chances could have fallen apart. Instead, teammates shifted positions and filled the voids as the Dragons (16-7-2 overall, 9-4-1 and second in district) united for improved play down the stretch.

The Dragons shifted a couple of midfielders to play center back, then called on reserve midfielders to step into starting roles. They didn’t miss a beat, overcoming quality district opponents like Keller (12-9-4, third in district) and Byron Nelson (14-6-5, fourth). Carroll finished behind only Keller Timber Creek (21-4-2), a team that advanced to the regional tournament.

Losing in the opening playoff round to LD Bell in 2022 — head coach Chris Padilla’s first season with the team — Carroll looked much better in a 3-2 bi-district win this year over Weatherford that the Dragons controlled throughout. A tough 2-1 loss to El Paso Eastlake in the second round ended Carroll’s seven-game winning streak and season, but lessons were learned regardless.

“Everyone has to have a next-man-up mentality,” Padilla says. “When we need someone to step up, we know that we have players that can.”

“We have quality not just in our starting 11, but in our entire team.”

Assistant Coaches: Lindsey Jacobson, Paul Lee, Allison Loftin

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Carroll girls soccer team assembled an impressive offensive attack that scored 190 points in 30 games (6.33 goals per game average) and was only shut out once the entire season.

Offensively, the Lady Dragons were led by sophomore midfielder Kennedy Fuller (55 goals, 26 assists), the District 4-6A MVP and named to the U-16 U.S. Women’s Youth National Team along with Carroll teammate Zoe Matthews. A sophomore forward, Matthews (22 goals, 26 assists) was named Offensive Player of the Year in district.

Midfielders Hannah Jordan (22 goals, 23 assists) and Kamdyn Fuller (25 goals, 15 assists) also made youth national camps. The Fuller sisters, along with Jordan and junior Kenzi Tufts, comprised a stout midfield that head coach Matt Colvin says he would pit against anyone in the state.

Despite the gaudy offensive numbers, coach Colvin points to his team’s defensive prowess as the biggest reason they pulled off 29 straight victories this season. Sophomore goalkeeper Olivia Geller, who was in goal in Carroll’s 2022 state title run as a freshman, played a key role in her team’s defensive efforts. Named Co-Goalkeeper of the Year in district, Geller started 23 games and registered 18 shutouts while giving up just five goals and making 48 saves. Sophomore defender Abigail Mills (first-team All-District) provided athleticism and was a big leader for the back line.

“People might say when looking at our 190 goals that they were so ‘attackminded,’ but defensively — I think that’s where it starts,” says Colvin, whose team only surrendered 10 goals all season (0.33 goals allowed average). “If you’re not solid defensively, that’s going to catch up to you at some point.”

SEASON RECAP

Looking dominant and driven throughout the regular season, the Carroll girls soccer team appeared destined to repeat as Class 6A state champions as they rolled to the Region I final with a perfect 29-0 record. But the Lady Dragons’ bid to defend their 2022 title fell short with a 1-0 loss to Flower Mound Marcus on April 8. The only score in the contest came on an own goal early in the second half when two players inadvertently collided and knocked the ball into the Carroll net.

While Carroll’s 50-game undefeated streak came to an end, the rest of Carroll’s season was marked by an elite level of play on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. The Lady Dragons outscored opponents 190-10 throughout the season, the most goals allowed coming in a 6-2 district win over Byron Nelson.

Tough competition greeted Carroll right off the bat as the Lady Dragons faced 2022 reigning 5A state champ Frisco Wakeland and 5A regional finalist Dripping Spring, which the Lady Dragons disposed of by 3-0 and 5-1 respectively. Carroll also exacted some revenge with an 8-1 win against Lake Travis, the only team to hand the Lady Dragons a loss in 2022.

District provided a test with solid programs in Keller, Keller Central, Timber Creek and Byron Nelson, which reached the regional semifinals. Carroll dominated its first four postseason opponents by a combined score of 19-1 before stumbling in the regional final to Marcus, who went on to win the 6A title.

“It was a good year for us. One game or one moment doesn’t define your season.”

SEASON UPDATE

Last year’s early playoff exit didn't sit well with the Carroll softball team, but the Lady Dragons have used that disappointment as motivation for this spring.

ABOUT THE TEAM

While impressive stats for offense and pitching have allowed the Carroll softball team to post a 24-6 record heading into the final games of the regular season, coach Tim Stuewe says fielding and defense have played an equally huge role in his team’s spring success.

As a team, the Lady Dragons compiled a .960 fielding percentage through 29 games, committing just 30 errors during that span. Sophomore utility player Sammy Petkus leads the way with a .990 fielding percentage (180 putouts in 192 total chances).

As far as stats at the plate and in the pitching circle, senior Cameron Timmons (last year’s District 4-6A Offensive Player of the Year) leads the way in both. A Harding University commit, Timmons leads the team in batting average (.522) and pitching (7-2 record, 1.05 ERA, 157 strikeouts).

Sophomore Scarlett Kuhn (.393, 27 RBI, three home runs) — 2022 District Newcomer of the Year — and sophomore Emmy May (.310, 25 RBI, six home runs) lead Carroll in RBIs and home runs, respectively.

“We’ve got production throughout the order,” says Stuewe, noting the leadership of nine seniors and the talent of four current sophomores. “There’s very little [lineup] change from last year’s squad, and that’s played a huge role for sure.”

Struggling to find consistency in 2022, Carroll finished fourth in district to clinch a postseason berth, only to be held scoreless in a two-game sweep by Boswell in the opening round. Finishing last year 15-17, the Lady Dragons appear bent on changing their fortunes in 2023, compiling a 34-6 overall record and sitting in second place in district with a 12-2 record.

"Bowing out early in the playoffs definitely got their attention," Carroll softball coach Tim Stuewe says. "They were literally talking about [next season] when we got back, and they were ready to start getting ready for this year."

The Lady Dragons looked ready right off the bat, winning six of their first seven games and posting a 15-4 record heading into District 4-6A competition. The team’s only district losses were twice to first-place Keller (32-8). But the Lady Dragons also overcame challenges from tough programs such as Byron Nelson and Keller Central (third and fourth-place teams, respectively) to earn a playoff spot. The team punctuated a stellar run with a 23-hit, 19run performance to bring coach Stuewe his 400th career win.

— Head Coach Tim Stuewe

Now on a roll, Carroll hopes to erase memories of last year and enjoy a run more in line with the 2021 season when the Lady Dragons advanced four rounds deep.

“You get a taste for [the playoffs] and you want to do it again."

JARED AND TYLER WHITE SHARE SUCCESS AS DRAGONS’ GO-TO PITCHERS

BILLING

With the Carroll baseball team facing the same district opponents on Tuesdays and again on Fridays in the same week, the opposing team and their fans probably had to do a double-take at the mound during Friday matchups. Thoughts of “Didn’t we just face this guy?” likely ensued, along with questions regarding how a team could start the same pitcher two games in a row and on just three days’ rest.

It’s an easy mistake to make for the casual observer. Other than a slight height difference, Carroll’s starting pitching rotation this season can be hard to tell apart. Identical twin brothers Jared and Tyler White (6-foot-3 and 6-foot-5, respectively) have ruled the mound this spring, providing solid pitching for a Dragons team that’s posted a combined 14-1 record when either takes the mound. Even their ERAs are an identical 0.92 as of our reporting.

Occasionally, even their teammates get briefly confused with who’s who.

“Sometimes I slip up and call (the wrong one) Tyler and the other one Jared,” says Eric Thiel, Carroll senior first baseman and catcher. “But I’m around them a lot, so I can normally recognize them.”

Eric says there’s another way Carroll teammates can barely tell them apart, but it’s when comparing them with their pitching predecessors — and that’s a huge compliment. The sibling hurlers have proven as steady and reliable as the Dragons’ ace tandem of Owen Proksch and Griffin Herring, Division I college recruits who led Carroll to the 6A state title in 2022 and are currently making names for themselves at Duke and LSU, respectively.

“It’s just like Owen and Griffin last year — they’re both automatic,” Thiel says of the White twins. “They’ll give up one, maybe two runs a game, and it’s really easy to play with a lead. If we give them the lead, we’re really comfortable with them pitching and going the whole game.”

The brothers’ leadership roles for one of the premier high school baseball programs in the country are the result of years of practice and development in the sport. Some aspects of the game came naturally. Others had to be developed, and a series of setbacks had to be overcome along the way. But that determination and competitive drive has brought the two right-handers down to this point as seniors — starting pitchers and key components in the Dragons’ quest to make another run at a state championship.

“It means that Coach [Larry Vucan] trusts us and that we can come into any situation when we’re starting the games and he won’t have to worry about us,” Jared says, who posted an 8-1 record with 56 strikeouts during the regular season. “It’s going in with a mindset of a winner’s mentality. If we go up there and do our thing, we’re going to win the game.”

“You get to go out there and it’s you versus the hitter every time you’re out there,” added Tyler (6-0, 74 strikeouts). “It’s just a lot of fun.”

BROTHERS IN ARMS AND LEGS

Over the years, Carroll has had many brothers and sisters come through the athletics program, some playing on the same team together, and even a few twins have made the same roster as well. But twin teammates playing key roles in multiple Dragon sports in the same season is a rare phenomenon.

As good as the White brothers are on the mound, both have also made names for themselves by playing critical roles for Carroll’s football team. Tyler became a top national football recruit, providing field goal proficiency as well as strong performances in kickoffs and punts. Jared added excellent punting skills for the Dragons his senior season, and both received notice from colleges as a result.

Tyler’s achievements in his junior and senior seasons — completing a combined 153-of-155 PATs and 17-of-19 field goals, including a school-record 55-yarder — allowed him to become a two-time All-American and the first five-star punter-kicker recruit in the history of the rankings.

“He was just such a weapon,” Carroll coach Riley Dodge says of Tyler, a Texas A&M signee. “Several times this past year, I’d yell for a field goal, and it would be a very ‘casual’ 48-yarder. And he and I would laugh at it. Either during the game or the next day, I’d tell him, ‘I didn’t realize that that was a 48-yarder.’ And he’d say the same thing. I trust in the kid, and he trusts in me that I’m going to put him in those opportunities that might be stressful to most.”

Field goal and special team kicking were things Tyler showed a knack for since junior high. After attending a couple of national kicking camps, he was soon ranked No. 1 in the U.S., a rise that occurred quicker than he or his family ever expected.

Meanwhile, Jared was a punter in middle school who turned his focus solely to baseball upon entering high

BILLING

school. After injuries kept him off the diamond for much of his sophomore and junior seasons, Jared returned to Dragon football as a senior to provide punting services, averaging 43.2 yards per kick, including a long of 55 yards.

Those numbers were enough to pique college interest in Jared, who also ranked in the Top 10 in the nation for punting after attending kicking camps. Although committed to Tyler Junior College on a baseball scholarship, Jared was also offered the chance to punt for the college football team. Tyler will also try his hand at both sports. With the kicking gig at A&M already set, he’ll have a chance to compete for a pitching spot for the Aggies as well.

Playing in both sports at different schools after graduation will be an adjustment for the brothers, who have competed on the same team since they were kids. Jared even held for Tyler on field goals and PATs under the Friday night lights this past fall. Dodge said composure in executing the process was something the twins made look easy, and that same approach appears to be evident as they’ve pitched this spring.

“Both are cut from the same cloth,” Dodge says of the brothers. “When you’re a kicker or a punter, you’re kind of an island and you’re out there by yourself. But I think the mentality as a kicker and as a pitcher is very similar — ‘I am the man.’

“You’re on the mound, or you’re behind the deep snapper 15 yards deep and everybody’s watching you. You have to be a pretty stable and competitive guy to do both.”

Jared said the importance of the kicking game isn’t taken seriously by some high school football programs, but the chance that he and his brother have had to provide a spark in a sometimes overlooked — yet crucial — aspect of the game has appealed to him.

“People don’t realize how many games we win by just a few points,” Jared says. “We only beat Keller (this past fall) by three points, and without (Tyler’s) field goal — and in pretty bad conditions — we wouldn’t have won that game.”

Tyler knows well the work that goes into improving technique and developing consistency as a kicker. He’s thankful for the future opportunities that opened up as a result of attending camps and kicking at Carroll.

“What guy doesn’t want to grow up and play college football? It was always my dream,” Tyler says. “After the 55yard field goal… I really started to get recruited by all the bigger schools.”

Tyler also received football scholarship offers from The University of Miami and The University of Texas at Austin.

SIBLING RIVALRY, SHIFTING SPOTLIGHT

Attention from college scouts and Division I schools was not something either brother owned outright while growing up. The twins didn’t often find themselves sharing the spotlight either in their early teenage years. The buzz started on the baseball field around eighth grade as Jared, an early bloomer, began to find his groove on the mound.

The twins’ father, Martin White, was also a baseball pitcher and football kicker for a small yet dominant high school team in New Mexico and later played football at the University of New Mexico. He placed his sons on baseball teams with kids one to two years older, forcing them to deal with tougher competition. His strategy paid off in the long run.

“I always kind of liked them being in the middle-to-bottom half as far as talent on the team they were on,” Martin says. “I always wanted to put them in adverse situations, and I never really started seeing them stand out much until that eighth- or ninth-grade year.

“Jared was the earliest to bloom — and it’s crazy looking back — but he got over 20 Power Five (Top 5 college conferences) Division-I offers for baseball between eighth and ninth grade.”

However, his father notes that things were a little bit different for Tyler.

“We visited a lot of different places, and Tyler just wasn’t ready,” Martin says. “He was close, but he just wasn’t ready for the offers. He didn’t get the recruiting, and it bothered him. But it really drove him.”

While Jared made Carroll’s varsity baseball team as a freshman, Tyler’s disappointment continued when he was sent down to JV. But the demotion didn’t last long, as Tyler returned and ultimately led the team in pitching appearances as a freshman.

Jared led the team in innings pitched that same season, but his fortunes would soon change. Injuries plagued Jared to start his sophomore year, and a temporary return as a starter ended with another injury. It was his elbow, and Tommy John surgery put him out of commission his entire junior season.

Meanwhile, Tyler’s star rose fast with accolades and records set as a kicker that junior year, leading to Division I offers and an invitation to the high school football All-American game, as Jared could only watch and wait to return to the field.

“Jared all of a sudden is in the back seat of his own house,” Martin says. “The adversity at times, whichever one it was affecting — and it’s flip-flopped — it really made them what they are today.”

The 2022 baseball season was fun to watch but agonizing at the same time for Jared, who was confined to the bench and unable to participate. Tyler had his share of appearances and saves in relief of pitching stars Proksch and Herring during the regular season, but his involvement was limited for most of Carroll’s playoff run.

However, Tyler had an unforgettable moment in the state championship game against San Antonio Reagan when he entered in relief in the sixth inning and then finished with a strikeout for the last out in the seventh to help the Dragons clinch their third title in the past four UIL postseasons.

“I just went out there and told myself… I’m just going to throw it right down the middle and let them hit it right back at one of our guys and hopefully celebrate with the team. And that’s exactly what happened,” Tyler says. “That was so surreal in the moment, I’ll never forget that. Being at the bottom of that dogpile… with 40 guys on the roster, it’s a little heavy down there.”

Tyler was more than willing to exchange a little discomfort to enjoy playoff glory with his teammates. Jared likewise was willing to forget his disappointment and celebrate his brother and his team’s accomplishment, being the first to run out from the dugout and reach the mound.

It was just a snapshot example of the way the brothers support each other, despite the competitiveness and healthy rivalry the two often display.

That brotherly love aspect is definitely there, and they’re the biggest supporters of each other.

— Head Coach Larry Vucan

“There’s some inner competition, for sure,” says coach Vucan, who’s had them on his baseball roster for four seasons. “They love to razz each other. They’re always talking about things like ‘My ERA is lower’ and ‘Well, my strikeouts are higher.’ So they’re getting after each other all the time.

“But that brotherly love aspect is definitely there, and they’re the biggest supporters of each other. I know it because when one’s standing at the rail, and the other guy — Jared or Tyler — is out on the mound, the other one is just rooting like heck for him. ‘Come on, you got this,’ and stuff like that. That element of it is pretty special.”

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Despite missing nearly two seasons due to injuries, Jared has looked no worse for wear when delivering pitches in Carroll contests this spring. He’s even developed a change-up to go with his trusty curveball and two-seam fastball. The Tuesday starter throughout district, he’s back to being the leader in innings pitched this season.

Tyler meanwhile brings his slider and fastball as consistent weapons, and both hurlers bring confidence to the mound in their new roles in the spotlight. The brothers’ level of play has teammates taking notice.

“I think having them on the mound shows everyone the type of consistency and presence you need to bring every day,” senior infielder Ben Tryon says, who led the team

with 20 RBIs late in the regular season. “We know that every time they come out, they’re going to show for us.”

Coach Vucan is pleased his current pitchers have successfully taken the baton passed to them by the Dragons’ former star pitchers. For Jared and Tyler, it’s validation that time spent healing or in relief behind their predecessors was not wasted. Both worked to better themselves and now have a chance to help Carroll make a legitimate run at defending their title.

“I think they want it — I definitely know that their hearts are into it,” coach Vucan says. “I think this is a culmination of those four years of toil… They are dead set on making this the stamp on their four years, essentially, of good and bad. Both of them have gone through ups and downs, but no one’s rooting for them more than I am.”

The key to closing out their memorable career at Carroll is simple — more of the same hard work that got them here in the first place. And if there’s anything Jared and Tyler know about, it’s dedication and hard work.

“I think the chances are great in our favor,” Jared says. “If we just keep on doing what we’re doing and being the best we can be, there’s nobody in the state better than us. I think we’re more prepared than any other team in the state. If we keep that up, we have a better chance than anybody.”

Before taking the mound this spring, Jared punted and held kicks for Tyler as a kicking duo for the Dragon football team.

The international squad of the country’s top young female players joined teams from Portugal, Norway, France, Japan and Mexico in the six-team tournament.

Two members of the Southlake Carroll Lady Dragon Soccer Team — midfielder Kennedy Fuller and forward Zoe Mathews — represented their country and Southlake well, bringing home the championship title. In the first game, Kennedy wasted little time getting the USA on the scoreboard with an assist after finding a teammate inside the penalty box for the team’s opening score in just the third minute of play. Then 15 minutes later, Kennedy put a one-timer to the back of the net for the team’s second

score in the 18th minute. The team beat Portugal 4-1.

Kennedy struck early again in the tournament’s second match, scoring the game’s opening goal on a penalty kick in just the second minute of play. She followed up with two more assists within the first 20 minutes as the USWNTU16 took a decisive 4-0 win over Norway.

Zoe added a goal of her own in a 3-0 win in a friendly match with France in a championship game preview. In the finals against France, the U.S. was outshot eight to 11, but ultimately won the game and the tournament with a 1-0 win after Alexandra Pfeiffer scored off of a Kennedy Fuller assist in the 54th minute.

Kennedy, a team captain, tallied three goals and three assists while earning Best Player honors for the tournament.
