Jake Cabeceiras, SS at Rummel signs with UNO. Mimi & Bobby, Mom, Dad, Caitlyn.
I’ve watched Jake his whole life...literally. Jake brings a plus Glove, Power, and Athleticism. More important to his father, he does it right off the field and loves the work.
1993 RHP/INF…slow feet, terrible diet, receding hairline, & no projectability..but loose arm actions, throws strikes, and can throw 1,200 to 1,500 pitches a day with no soreness.
…and due to COVID he has (2) Years of Eligibility left
Collin Loupe (Jesuit Shortstop) signs with UNO today!
Special player with elite infield actions and a big motor. Kid never gave up on or doubted himself, and the road wasn’t always easy.
A Mentor this Fall to our 13’s and leader for our entire NOCA program. Mom & Dad did good!
Ryan Harland (LHP) to LA Tech
Hunter Ponson (RHP/3B) to LSUE
Brennan Holt (SS) to LSU
Parkview Baptist is loaded!
Harland is a complete Pitcher and total Winner.
Ponson has electricity on every pitch.
Holt is the best Game Disruptor I’ve ever coached.
@PBSBaseball2019
Blaise Priester, Catcher Live Oak, Signs with Meridian CC...family and friends all came to take part!
Blaise came to NOCA at 13 and just kept improving. 1.87 POP Times and 115mph Exit Velocities didn’t come overnight. Way more baseball ahead for Blaise!

Congratulations NOCA & Big Easy Sportsplex Alum
@tre_morgan10
on an outstanding Freshman Year!
And he’s still just 18 years old…could have been a Senior in high school this past year!
What do you do if you’re 2025 Rummel CF Evan Burg and you’re playing with 2023’s at MS STATE with
@eastcoastbball
?
Just hit an Oppo Bomb with wood!
@EvanBurg2
is the real deal
@rummelbaseball
. Tall, fast, true CF, with that kind of pop! Watch this ball get out!
Coaching Baseball is about impacting young men. No greater joy than to see that impact years later.
We have a special Rule that states, “after each game, thank & hug all those who came to see you.”
Violate this rule, hand in your Jersey.
@tre_morgan10
, am I lying?
NOCA 14U Gold clinches a birth in Bracket…only allowed 11 runs all pool!
NOCA sent (4) Teams to PG’s 14U WWBA in Hoover (one is a 13U!). Tremendous opportunity for each kid to develop, mature, & bring this experience back home for our entire baseball community.
Giovanni Licciardi, 2021 Jesuit INF & NOCA Mentor, commits to ULM!
Younger players need to copy Gio!
Late bloomer high athleticism & plus competitor. Always focused on ACTIONS. Never missed a workout, made time to work with younger players.

@glicci14
@ULM_BSB
We see you
@ryan_23h
. This NOCA 2021 is one of my all time favorites!
Watch all the Flyballs and pop ups hit off this kid. He has the most FB Spin I’ve ever coached, so the barrels typically miss under the ball.
Go have a day, kid!
NOCA’s entire Upper Division (14’s-17’s) plays at Mississippi State this weekend. Tremendous experience!
@HailStateBB
A big thanks to East Coast Sox for being a true partner and helping our families.
@eastcoastbball
Congratulations to our big righty! 2022 Canaan Clayton (Jesuit) is a 90+ RHP that we’ve had since 13 years old. Great kid, great family, loves to work, mentored this Fall…can’t say enough about him! UNO landed a big one here!

Watch the local news tonight!!!
Lance Lauve, RHP Holy Cross signs with SLU. Had his whole family with him today!
I’ve had Lance since he was 8 yrs old. He was an outstanding Catcher that is completely dedicated to his Arm. He is a technician that gets to 90mph with a filthy slider. SLU getting a good one!
Let’s highlight some 2023 Shortstops that showed out this past Sunday for CST. Be sure to watch them on November 4th!
• Aidan Machado (Hahnville)
• Andrew Sieta (Brother Martin)
• Chase Crawford (Dunham)
My advice for hitters is simple: don’t hit the ball at these guys!
Congratulations to (2) LSU / NOCA 2020’s for being named 2021 Freshman All-Americans!

What do you do when your under 85mph, under 5’10”, and trying to play College Baseball in the Post-COVID/Transfer Portal Era?
If you’re NOCA’s 2021 Ryan Harland, you simply go make All-Conference as a Freshman!
Every HS Player should call

@carterd_2525
Elite Receiver, 2.0 POP with super Atheltic abilities (threw out 2 yesterday)…oh, and he calls his own game.
I’ve watched a lot of Catchers…this is a CANT MISS guy.
