Welcome to the online home of the MtB Mustangs, where we are pursuing the goal of becoming the best homeschool baseball program in the country. We continue to see tremendous player development both on and off the field.
To find out more about us, click "Who We Are." Also, check our "Schedule" and "Team History" tabs to see the level of competition and the quality of baseball that we play. In 2011, for example, our Varsity competed in two UIL 4A-5A tournaments, and we won one of them. As such, we became the first homeschool program in Texas to win a UIL 4A-5A tournament. Through the 2017 season, more than a dozen Mustangs have gone on to play college baseball.
We invite you to take a few minutes and read our introduction below, look around our site, and get familiar with the MtB Mustangs.
The Montgomery County Mustangs formed in 2002 to address the desire of homeschooled young men in the Montgomery County and surrounding areas to participate in high school and junior high level competitive baseball. In 2005, the Mustangs incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)(3) association, becoming the only non-profit, competitive baseball organization for home schoolers in the north Harris/southern Montgomery County and surrounding areas. Guided by a volunteer Board of Directors, we are both an athletic organization and a ministry to homeschool families. To reflect this "More than Baseball" vision, the Mustangs were renamed the "MtB Mustangs" in 2007.
The Mustangs practice and play their home games at Carl Barton Park in southeast Conroe, 2500 S Loop 336 near FM 1314. Check the "Locations" tab for maps and directions.
The Mustangs serve the homeschool community in North Houston, Cypress, Spring, Tomball, Magnolia, Montgomery, The Woodlands, Conroe, Willis, Huntsville, New Waverly, Porter, Humble, Kingwood, New Caney, Splendora, all of Montgomery County and surrounding areas.
The greatest thing about the Mustangs is the Mustangs.
Our alumni are pursuing excellence in college classrooms, in business, in serving our nation in the military, as missionaries, in serving their communities and churches in myriad capacities, and on the field playing the game at the next level. Get to know them and see the heart of MtB:
Lance Martin (2014), Schreiner Univ. Baseball 2015-2018
"There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about the MtB Mustangs and what the program meant to my family and myself. Giving me a second opportunity to prove myself and play the game that I love meant the world to me. The Mustangs got me where I am todayand all the credit goes to my coaches and teammates for pushing me to get better each and every day.
"The MtB meaning "More Than Baseball" speaks for itself because they teach you the true meaning of the game with passion and ultimately representing a larger purpose. My team meant the world to me. It's a memory that I will cherish forever. The relationship you have with your coaches and teammates beyond graduation is even better. It's a family that never leaves your side, because they care about you."
Matt Breuer (2011) and Asst. Coach (2012)
"The Mustangs have had an impact that words can't even begin to describe, but I'll give it a shot.
"When describing the Mustangs, you can't think of just a baseball team. You have to think of a family that takes care of each other, that picks up the slack where needed, and that holds each other accountable. We don't put each other down, rather, we pick each other up. This isn't done because we're good people or because it's the right thing to do. We do it because of a love for each other and a love for Christ.
"Yeah, I just used the word "love" to describe a baseball team. But don't let that fool you, we're just as competitive as any team out there, we want to win just like everyone else. How do we accomplish that? Hard work. Finding the weak part of your game and working on it, over and over. Practicing the mental game until our heads hurt. Finding our weaknesses and working purposefully. In the end all the hard work is worth it, even if we didn't get where we wanted to.
"I love and miss the game of baseball, I love and miss the Mustangs even more. I've been a part of teams before but I've never seen anything like the Mustangs. I've made some of the best friends of my life on this team, and some of the godliest men I've ever seen are involved in the running of this organization. Those were some of the best years of my life and I won't soon forget them."
Mason Handfelt (2007)
"Playing for the Mustangs was a great experience. I learned a lot about what it means to set out to achieve a goal and improve at something. This was due to the encouragement and coaching I continuously received from coaches, parents, and my teammates. However, what really sets the Mustangs apart is the way they intentionally instill a Christ-centered ethic into the players. Anytime we gathered to practice or compete, the focus always remained on something more than baseball: glorifying God in everything we do. I consider playing for the Mustangs to be one of the major venues of character development for me, and I'm extremely grateful to call myself a Mustangs alum."
The Mustangs high school program is ready for a great run in 2018, under the direction of Varsity Head Coach Marcus Richards and his staff. Coach Rick Rutledge will lead our Junior Varsity team.
Once again this year, we will have a competitive and challenging schedule that will keep us growing and improving all the way through our trip to the Homeschool World Series in Florida. We believe that scheduling as we do has been a key component in challenging our teams and players to grow and compete.
