EHS Falcon Baseball is in Full Swing

After an offseason of uncertainty, Elmira High School baseball is looking forward to the coming season with high hopes. 

The Falcons have started the season 4-3 with some great games, including their 11-0 shutout against Sutherlin.

Without a doubt, the season will bring opportunities and a lot of change. After losing seven seniors from the team, many new guys are being pushed to step-up.

“I’m excited to see what the young guys can do, and what they’ll bring to the team,” senior Dylan Carney told Falcon News. 

While most of the team is ready for competitions, some of the team is worried about competitors in the league, including Sisters High School who are predicted to win the league by OSAA athletics.

“I’m excited but also nervous about the progress other teams are making,” ninth-grader Asher Varroza said. 

Earlier in the season, Elmira baseball had coaching doubts, but with the return of JT Rhodes things are back on track.

“We’ll be young and we’ll need to play scrappy if we want to compete,” Rhodes said.

Although this year might be a rebuilding year, the Falcons are having a great season so far and are still competing for a shot at the playoffs.  

The Falcons will compete at Lowell next on Tuesday. They are still getting prepared for their home opener on Saturday.
