Hard work means you don’t cut corners. Every practice and every game are an opportunity to improve, to push the limits and take your game to the next level. Wilson was chosen as the Official Ball of the Mississippi High School Athletic Association because we don’t cut corners either.

CLASS ACHAMPIONSHIP SCHEDULE

KING’S RIDGE @ MT. PARAN CHRISTIAN

CLASS A - PRIVATE

CLASS A - PUBLICGORDON LEE @CHARLTON COUNTY

The King’s Ridge Christian baseball team has been playing like kings of late, no mat-

ter the competition. On Monday the team ousted Class A-Private No. 1 Eagles Landing Christian Academy by surprisingly routine scores of 11-3, 7-2. The Chargers went into their semifinal doubleheader on a 28-game winning streak, their longest such run in school history. They were, however, no match for fifth-seeded King’s Ridge. Brandt Stallings of the visiting Tigers set the tone for the se-ries with a two-run homer to pace his team to a quick 2-0 lead in the opener. Stallings also homered in the sixth inning for a comfortable 10-3 margin. Lawson Hill delivered a two-run blast in the second game to maintain the mo-mentum for King’s Ridge. Up next for the Tigers starting on Sat-urday is the championship series against Mt. Paran Christian (29-3), which got past Hebron Christian by scores of 8-6 and 11-0. The Ea-gles’ trademarked power hitting is exacerbat-ed by an extremely small field that measures 310 feet down each line, 335 feet to each pow-er alley and 350 feet to straightaway center.

As the No. 2 seed, they will enjoy home-field advantage once again on Saturday and for a Game 3 if necessary on Monday. The Eagles went deep six times and mustered 10 ex-tra-base knocks during the two-game sweep of Hebron Christian. Boston College-signee Jake Palomaki leads Mt. Paran Christian. The senior second baseman and pitcher tossed a complete game in the semifinal opener before belting two dingers and tallying four RBIs in the clincher. Junior first baseman Jack Rowan homered in each of the two contests for the Eagles, who are 2-0 this season against King’s Ridge Christian. They rolled to wins of 7-0 and 9-1 on March 25 and April 10, respectively.

TROJANS BUY IN … In Class A-Public, Gordon Lee is the only team through to this weekend’s title series af-ter Monday’s proceedings. The fifth-seeded Trojans picked up 10-2 and 4-2 victories over No. 9 seed Treutlen. As usual, they showcased a style of play that has now taken them to the championship round on two consecutive oc-

casions (they finished runner-up to Charlton County last year). Gordon Lee likes to play small ball, manufacture runs on offense and back up a stellar pitching staff with rock-solid defense. “To me, from the beginning of the year to now, the guys are buying in,” head coach Mike Dunfee told the Chattanooga Times Free Press following the semifinals. “We’re getting better at-bats throughout the lineup and we’re being what I call patiently aggressive. In the second game, what won it were the bunts. We work on bunting a lot and in that game we laid down some pretty ones. Earlier in the year I felt we had to do it, and though we’ve swung the bats better late in the year, we never stop practicing it.” The Trojans’ pitching staff includes Chaney Rogers, Jake Rogers and Conrad Broom. Through six games of their postseason run (all three series have been 2-0 sweeps), the team has not allowed more than two runs in any contest. Gordon Lee features only one senior, shortstop Zack Cobb. Dunfee saw 10 seniors graduate from the 2013 squad, but his team clearly put to rest any ideas that this might have to be a rebuilding year. The Trojans have a rematch with Charl-ton County in the state finals. Game 1 of the semifinal series went the way of No. 3 seed Charlton County 5-2 before host ECI forced a decisive showdown with a 9-1 victory. Charl-ton County then won Game 3 on Tuesday night 5-0. Gordon Lee will be the visitor on Saturday for the two-game series. Photo courtesy of Charlton County.
