Brennan Ross listed in top 35 in Texas HS Baseball The Howe Bulldogs got a big win even before the season. Their talented outfielder Brennan Ross was listen on the txhighschoolbaseball.com's Class 3A Top 35 players list. Ross, a senior, was as consistent as any hitter can be during his junior year by hitting .464 with an on-base percentage of .525. The on-base percentage made him one of the most dangerous leadoff hitters in Texas. Ross is also known for his contact, where he only struck out six times in over 60 plate appearances. He is the son of Brian and Marcy Ross, both Howe High School graduates. He has a sister, Ashlyn, and an older brother, Easton, also a Howe graduate.
