No. 10--Oak Ridge War Eagles Baseball
2022: 26-10-2 (District 13-6A Champions/Regional Quarterfinalists)
HC: JJ Pierce
Last year featured an Oak Ridge team that won their first district title since the 2017-18 season. Subsequently, the War Eagles advanced three rounds into the postseason, falling to eventual State Semifinalist Rockwall-Heath.
Who’s to say this year’s roster can take it the distance? With an A-List group that features senior RHP Hayden Morris, anything is possible. The 6-foot-8 Texas signee enjoyed a career year in 2022 with an 8-3 record along with an astounding 137 strikeouts.
Joining Morris on the diamond will be first-team, all-district selections – senior catcher Conner Bennett (Houston) and senior OF Dillon Staples.
This will be a dangerous team come playoff time because they will be battle-tested in district play.
