The baseball season is just around the corner for area high schools. The Winnfield Senior High School Tigers are looking to keep their winning ways as they return six starters from last year’s 3-2A District Champions and State Quarter Finalists: seniors Bret Jurek, Jake Lashley, Eli Lasyone, Eli Spangler, and Joshua Tinnerello, along with sophomore Hunter Tucker.
Graduated from the twotime district championship team are Justin Lawson, Edward Teal, and Jacob Tinnerello. Theses shoes will be hard to fill; however, the Tigers have young players anxiously waiting to get their opportunity to show their talent and fill these openings. The boys have started working to continue the high standards of Tiger Baseball. Last year the boys finished with a 21-5 regular season record, 24-7 overall season record, 6-0 in district play, and back to back district championships. In the past two years, 2018 and 2019, the baseball team has gone 46-18 and 14-1 in district play.
