Gil was named first-team all-District 5-6A this past season after helping the Falcons to their second playoff appearance in program history. He was also part of the starting pitching rotation.
On Feb. 27, Gil went 3 of 3 against Saginaw Chisholm Trail and hit a home run against Cedar Park Vista Ridge. He drove in four runs against Moore, Okla., on March 4 and went 3 of 4 with four RBIs against Keller Central on April 25.
