Trent Carman & Garrett Gribble – Altus
Trent is an outstanding baseball player that brings a lot into his senior season. He looks to help guide this team in the direction of success. He is the returning leading hitter and innings pitched from last year. Garrett is a vocal leader on this team. His presence and knowledge in the outfield is such a valuable asset, especially being so young in the outfield. He is the lone lefty in the lineup from a year ago, when he led the team in triples.
Matt Parker – Hollis
Matt has a very high baseball IQ, hits lead off as a lefty, and knows what it takes to get on base. He is very strong defensively and can play any position on the field if needed. Very talented on the mound as a pitcher as well. He’s just a sophomore but Matt is growing into one of Hollis’ multiple leadership roles and he looks to continue a very promising career.

Jamelle, a junior, will be highly counted on in the 400 and 800 relays as well as the 100. Jamelle has been working hard in practice and been a leader within the sprint group. Whenever coaches need someone to lead a workout, Jamelle is more than willing to take charge and take ownership of the sprint group.
