Wonder how many Troy players will be tampered with?
You know a lot of P5 coaches will be sneaking around trying to figure out how to steal the players.

#StateChampions. This goes out to all former @TurksHSbaseball players who bought into developing a program. This goes back to 1984 of winning 3 games to winning 1st ever Regional title in 1986 to 26 straight wins in 1993! The pinnacle of program in 2026, State Champions!

Turns out losing all your ABS challenges before the 5th inning is bad. Who could have possibly thought that

Kids arent playing as much hs baseball because the game is losing great coaches in hs for a number of reasons: 1) parents 2) coaches can’t hold players accountable 3) administration will not support/get the coach’s back. Too many GREAT coaches who are GREAT MEN have said “if I can’t do it the right way, I’m not going to do it”. They are dropping like flies.

In our H.S. program, we usually get 80–100 kids trying out. This year we’re in the mid-70s. Coaches across the state are telling me numbers are down everywhere. Some schools like us, with 2,500 students, have only 20–25 kids trying out for 3 teams. What’s happening to baseball?

A lot of you elite players don’t make it to the highest of levels because you play for coaches that let you do whatever the hell you want and it hurts you every day. Why don’t you understand that?

This is the same prep school we expect East Peoria’s Quinton Kitt to attend. The best Illinois prep backcourt will play in Kansas City
JUST IN: Jaxson Davis is leaving Warren.
The Sun-Times Player of the Year transfers to a new prep school, Monarch Academy in Kansas City.
