So Far

Starting their season on the right foot, the Brock Eagles have been showcasing their ability to play hard against tough opponents since the start of the season. The team was able to secure several strong, dominant victories in non-district play as they defeated the likes of Kennedale, Alvarado, Brownwood, Wall, Andrews, and more. Behind talented athletes like Jesse Rusinek, Cam Harris, Cole Stanley, Wyatt Shumake, Canon Lightfoot, Hunter Martin, Asa Parenteau, Cooper Massey, Hudson Davis, and more, Brock was able to prepare themselves for another successful district schedule.

Through district play, the Eagles showed no hesitation as they took down the likes of Peaster, Early, Eastland, Millsap, Dublin, and more in order to post an undefeated 14-0 district record and finish at the top of their district standings. After proving their ability to shut down opponents in the regular season, the team took to the offseason to continue their run toward the state tournament. So far in the playoffs, the team has sent Bowie, Clyde, Holliday, Liberty, and Jacksboro packing in order to punch their ticket to the UIL Baseball State Tournament.

What to Expect

The team has lost only two games all season while outscoring their opponents by a combined 245 runs so far this season. With a 94% winning percentage and the heart of champions, Brock already knows what it takes to continue on their run this season. Under the careful guidance of head coach Koby Page and assistant coaches Dane Bennett, Ryne Onsurez, and Randell Coleman, this team isn't worried about taking on Corpus Christi London-- who boasts a 39-3 record this season. Fans can expect Brock to fight hard through the semifinals match with early and timely hits.
