State Recap:

The Eagles came into this season looking to repeat their success from last year with another championship. This goal was within their hands as they would make it to the State finals game. The road to the finals was not an easy one as they had to overcome a two close games to start out the tournament against Eisenhower and Shawnee Mill Valley. The Eagles defeated Eisenhower but it wasn’t as easy as expected with the final score 5-1. They would then move on to play Shawnee Mill Valley and that tested the Eagles as they defeated them 5-4. The Championship game was against Topeka Seaman and they have had a great team all season. The Eagles started Matt Henning and after a rough first inning, the team settled down and played great baseball. The score was 3-0 up until the 3rd and 5th innings when the Eagles got their bats going to tie the game at 3-3. Topeka, however, had a big inning in the top of the 7th scoring 7 runs! This would prove to be too much for the Eagles to handle. The Eagles met their match and came in 2nd in the State Tournament at WSU. Good job Eagles!!
