Coach Rich Bailey

Congratulations to the Varsity Baseball team on a strong finish to a 22-12 season that saw a grand slam by Shane Easter, home runs by Tim Thomas and Brad Clements, a 10 win pitching season that ties a school record by Logan Tiller, who also earned his 51st stolen base which sets a new school record and puts him on the MHSBCA state record list.  Thank you all for a great season.  2016 will go down as one of the best.
