"We create a standard for how we want to do things and everybody’s got to buy into that standard or you really can’t have any team chemistry. Mediocre people don’t like high-achievers and high-achievers don’t like mediocre people." #win ~ Nick Saban

I am proud and honored to have coached these 6 young men. It’s heart breaking to know these guys won’t be playing in a Shell uniform anymore. Thank you for all you have done for me, your coaches and your teammates. You’ve been amazing role models and leaders to look up to. ❤️💙💛

REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL BOTTOM OF THE 8TH… THE SHELLS WALK IT OFF! Dalton Carriker gets things started by wearing a hit-by-pitch. Nick Miles follows with a perfectly executed sacrifice bunt to move the winning run into scoring position. Litchfield elected to intentionally walk both Autery and Mason Crump, loading the bases. That set the stage for Sean Maberry. Maberry delivered a clutch RBI single, bringing home the winning run and sending the Shells into celebration mode! FINAL (8 innings) 🥎 Roxana 6 🥎 Litchfield 5 REGIONAL CHAMPIONS! An incredible battle, outstanding pitching, tremendous defense, and a walk-off winner in extra innings! @RHS_Shells @1071TheBigZ @STLhssports @AMiller31

The Roxana Shells have a new strikeout leader!!! Mason broke the strikeout record today previously held by Logan Reardon at 235. Mason recorded his 236th strikeout in the top of 5th inning today. Mason also tied the school record for career wins with 19! Congratulations Mason!!

Common story: Kid loves baseball. Decides to quit other sports & specialize in 8th grade. Plays spring ball, summer travel ball, & fall ball. Private lessons over the winter. Ends up swinging/throwing 12 months straight. Does this for 4 years. 48 months straight of the same back/arm stress. And we wonder why so many HS players have Pars stress fractures and torn UCLs. Now apply this to volleyball, golf, basketball, etc. We are breaking our kids’ bodies in pursuit of scholarships. Athletes need an offseason. Especially when they’re 15.
