Zink joins Kingwood shortstop Courtney Enocksen, Pasadena Dobie infielder/outfielder Kelsey Kaiser, Frisco outfielder/infielder Kari Karr, Forney catcher Erica LeFlore, Deer Park outfielder Lissette (Liz) Lopez, and Houston Clear Lake outfielder Charne Office as part of the seven-player recruiting class.
