This will always be one of my favorite pictures. Hard to believe we lost another person from this special team. You’ll always be my catcher Ty! RIP buddy, not many people were as genuine as you.
Freshman Reece Beuter
@ReeceBeuter
won the day pulling down 100 and 101 twice! He was up to 93 this fall, working mostly 91-92 with 4 quality pitches and the ability to spin it in all counts.

Not only was Justin a great player at Willard, but also a great leader. He was a great coach and I’m grateful for the time I had with him. RIP ATCH. You were one of a kind.

Transfer from Murray State. 40% slider miss this fall. 9 K’s in 3 outings.
My heart goes out to the Willard baseball team. Some of my best memories playing baseball are from my senior year of high school. The program deserved to see all that hard work pay off this year.

Freshman Tyler Tscherter
@Tyler_Tscherter
followed suit this afternoon with a 99 of his own! He was up to 93 this fall with a sharp slider in the low to mid 80’s and good feel for the zone.
A tough finish for the Johnston baseball team, denied a second-straight state championship after a 14-5 loss to Pleasant Valley in the 4A state title game. Miles Risley, emotional while speaking for his team after the game.
Thanks to
@DustinLNolan
at WHBF for the help.
🚨Off Season Update🚨
