The fresh talent on their roster is leaving fans in awe, especially the freshman players who are proving they belong at this level. Get ready to be impressed by some standout stats:
It’s worth noting that Atlantic Coast’s recent seasons haven’t been smooth sailing; they’ve seen records of 3-20, 7-14, and 4-18 before holding a better 12-14 last season. But this year, they’re on fire!
Now, let’s talk about Baldwin. They pulled off an unforgettable comeback against the defending champions, Middleburg, clinching a 5-1 victory with a grand slam in the seventh inning! How’s that for sports drama?
Meanwhile, Creekside is turning heads with an impressive statistic: they are averaging over one home run per game! Their junior slugger is leading the way, batting .486 and knocking out four home runs. This team knows how to power their way through pitches!
In the spotlight for Oakleaf is senior pitcher Charlotte Maddox. She’s having a fantastic season, boasting an outstanding 0.61 ERA and 74 strikeouts over 57.2 innings. Not only is she a force on the mound, but she also holds a solid .471 batting average. Talk about a dual threat!
Don’t forget about B-Town’s senior powerhouse who’s lighting it up with an impressive .629 batting average, along with 8 doubles, 3 triples, 2 home runs, and 8 stolen bases. With a staggering 1.935 OPS in just 12 games, this player is certainly one to watch!
Also, show some love for Aoife Weaver, representing Ireland’s national team. She’s done a fantastic job with an 8-1 record and a 1.96 ERA with the Sharks, all while maintaining a commendable .421 batting average.
Rounding out the excitement is University Christian, which has sprinted out to a perfect 10-0 start this season. Their shining star, Dixie Tessier, is impressing everyone with her .562 batting average, 9 doubles, and a remarkable pitching record of 9-0 with a 0.59 ERA and 77 strikeouts. This squad is not messing around!
As we gear up for some nail-biting matchups, mark your calendars! Upcoming games include:
From April 7-11, Duval County will host its annual public school championship. Baldwin will be on the lookout for its fifth consecutive title. Can they do it?
As the rankings stand, Ponte Vedra is currently ranked No. 1 in Class 5A, and both Baker County and University Christian are leading their regions. If the season wrapped up today, we’d see some exciting teams qualify for regionals, including Atlantic Coast, Creekside, Oakleaf, and Bartram Trail.
