A season that doesn't end winning a state championship is always tough, but it was an outstanding season for them as they not only made the 3C2A state playoffs but hosted the regional this past weekend after winning the Big 8 Conference championship during the regular season. Vance Haskins led the pitching staff with seven wins and 73 strikeouts while Nathan Luehs and Justin Jones each had five wins this season.

It was a season filled with Big 8 Conference championships and that includes the beach volleyball team as they did so for their first time in program history as they went 19-4 overall and 15-1 in conference play. As a team their season came to an end in the regional playoffs but there is still some hope of a state title to add to their history making season in the sand. While all five pairs advanced to the Big 8 Championships it is now down to just Hadlee Gray and Trinity Beers still competing as they will be battling for a 3C2A state championship later this week as they qualified for the pairs championship on Friday in Southern California.
