Saturday, we punched our ticket to the Class 5 final four for the first time since 1969!! We hosted Festus infront of 600+ fans as we beat them 4-0 in our 20th WIN on the season! This was certainly a day to remember as we head to Ozark, MO this Friday to take on Kearney!
Friday, May 17th, 2024…
A day to be remembered for a while as we clinched our first district title since ‘07. From Torbit’s 6.1 NO-HIT innings and his huge RBI’s to Mager’s HR to the flawless defense. This was a true team win. 17 years later, we can finally hold some hardware🥇
Today, we came together to complete a service project, cleaning up and beautifying our campus courtyard and surrounding areas. Our hard working young men picked up over 60 lbs of trash and did a fantastic landscaping job in the main courtyard.

Senior RHP
@SturgeonCole
gets the top hat from his buddy, Jackson for throwing 6.1 scoreless innings in a 5-0 W over Chaminade. Statesmen back in the Win column!!
@statesmensports
‘22 RHP Joe Ruzicka shoved today vs. Parkway Central.
5 ip, 18 batters faced, 10 K’s 1H.
Game Score of 72. For those who don’t know, a 50 GS is a QS. Statesmen win 4-0!!
Tonight’s win marks WG’s 1st victory over a MCC opponent since May of 2007 when Steve Mazzola’s squad knocked off Chaminade and SLUH in the playoffs, then lost a 6-5 10 inn affair to CBC and Ole Miss commit, Matt Travis, on the mound. Oddly enough, I was there for that game.
Win Streak extended to 3! Statesmen top Northwest 10-6.
@StisserGraham
earns the Top Hat for his 2-4 performance, including a huge RBI 2B!
@statesmensports
Statesmen drop a tough one to Mehlville today, 6-2. Battle of two future D1 arms and they both impressed a packed house at Kopplin Field. Season over. No one is satisfied and we will work harder this Summer/off-season to realize our goal of winning a District Championship in ‘23!
Congratulations to our JV squad for playing a stellar season of baseball, finishing with a record of 15-5! Yesterday, the boys beat SLUH and every player on the roster contributed to the team win! Job well done, Coaches Smith and Bickham! 👏🏼
