“Eric is a very talented young man and plays the game hard. He has really matured as a person and a player and is a joy to watch play the game,” head coach David George said.

Pitcher of the Week: Brodie Shankle, Haughton, So.
Shankle, a reliever, allowed just two runs unearned over 4 1/3 innings Friday against Texas High in the Jason Bland Memorial Tournament. He scattered four hits and collected two strikeouts in a 10-4 victory.
“It was great to get a quality outing from a sophomore. As we approach district, pitching depth will be at a premium and Brodie can be a big factor for us during the district season,” head coach Glenn Maynor said.
