2024 SEASON - YEAR IN REVIEW 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

1. Team started off on the right foot with 2 wins to open the season.

 

2. 4 Freshmen played significant number of games. That bodes well for the future of the program: 

    - Charlie Cook (18 games)

    - Nolan Danka (18 games)

    - A.J. Reiher (10 games)

    - B Shurina (5 games)

 

3.  Juniors Anthony Smith (30 inns, 40 K's) and Lucas DeRose (36 inns, 33 K's) pitched as the #2 and #3 starters this season. Hopefully, they'll be the top-2 starters on the mound in 2025.

 

4. Ryan Cochran had another monster season:

    - Voted to All Section team for the 4th season

    - Voted as Section 3A-3 "MVP" by Section Coaches
