PEARLAND — The Pearland Oilers had an outstanding 2013 season finishing 34-6 while advancing to the Class 5A Region III semifinals before being ousted by Jersey Village in a best-of-three series. The Oilers shared the 22-5A championship with the Alvin Yellowjackets.

Pearland head coach Anthony Scalise was named Coach of the Year by his coaching peers.

The Oilers had six players named to the All-District first-team and one player named to the second-team.

Leading the way was senior pitcher Blake Goins who was named as the league's Most Valuable Player. Goins finished the season with a 14-2 overall pitching record. Goins was also named third-team All-State by the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association.
