Wow! Travis Smith
@Traviss1109
with the walk-off HR in the bottom of the 6th and your Bearcats win 11-0. Oh, by the way...he also threw a no-hitter with 12 Ks!! Great job kid!
Got our hands on video of a big buzzer beater out of Alexandria tonight.

Not the outcome we were hoping for tonight, as your Bearcats fall in the championship game of the All A State Tournament. However, we are proud of the character of our team, and proud to have made it farther than any other baseball team in school history! Proud to be a Bearcat!!
Solid debut for WV’s own

Bearcats lose a heart breaker 2-1 to North Oldham. Could not be more proud of this team! Thank you to our 4 seniors Barry, Andrew, Travis and Sammy! One heck of a season and such a fun ride! 1st WV team to reach the All A state finals and 1st district championship in 17 years!
An exciting day yesterday as
@LanceColeman31

@MidwayUBaseball
. Well deserved to a fine young man!
Wow! So much to tweet. Shields works out of a bases loaded, 1 out jam in the bottom of the 8th to preserve the 7-6 victory!! Your Bearcats will play for the All A state title at a date TBD!!
The Bearcats welcomed back 2013 alum Jared Dwyer, who is now the head coach at Madison Southern. After graduating from WV, Jared went on to play baseball at EKU and settled in Richmond with his wife and 4 month old son.

What an imprint on our program this guy made. He will certainly be missed! Big time congrats to
@Traviss1109
for a big time honor. Named 2021 KHSBCA 1st team all-state in KY. First player in WV history to ever receive such an honor!

Senior Barry Alexander pitches a complete game on Senior Day!! Bearcats defeat Grant County 4-1. Alexander only surrendered 3 hits and struck out 9 Braves. Great game by an even better young man!
3️⃣ days until your BatCats compete for an All A State title‼️
History on the line.....Walton-Verona has never won the All A in baseball.
Beyond excited to watch our guys compete for a state championship!
I’m excited to announce that I’m continuing my academic and athletic career at Midway University. I’d like to thank god for allowing me to play the sport I love at the next level. Go Eagles!!!

End of a very successful era for WV. We are sad to see Coach Coleman step down but respect his decision to dedicate more time to his family. Phenomenal 8 seasons and leaving the program in a great position.

Still think about our seniors from 2020 often. Still heartbroken they lost their last HS baseball season.
So grateful our 2021 seniors will get their chance. Here’s introducing the 2021 WV BatCat seniors:

Kerns finishes off the 5 inning no-hitter, and the WV Bearcats win the 8th Region All A 13-1!! The Bearcats did not surrender a hit the entire tournament 👀!!
One of the hardest workers we’ve seen! Congratulations
@Cayden_Smithers
….. well-deserved! Go make an impact on that program like you have on this one!
Wow! What a game! SK scores 5 runs in the top of the 7th to take a 7-5 lead. We score 2 in the 7th to force extra innings. We walk it off in the bottom of the 8th to win the district championship on a Nick Allen double! Howard gets the win on the mound!
Smith (con’t)...
As a coach, maybe the most admired trait Travis possesses...in spite of his immense God-given talent that will allow him to play at the next level, is his humility by which he carries himself. Shows great leadership in that regard!!
#WVBatCats
2 / 2
Wow!!! Nick Allen gets the CYCLE as he triples in the winning run after a Kerns double and the Bearcats win 10-0!! Smith with the no-hitter striking out 17 with 0 walks.
Bearcats walk it off in the bottom of the 7th on a lead-off BOMB over the center field fence by Lance Coleman!!!💣💣. We win on Senior Day by the score of 6-5!
…(2/2) Also, 2 All A State runner up finishes for the first time in program history, a district Championship for the first time since 2004, and a Regional semi finalist for 2 years in a row! What a ride!!
Congratulations to Lance Coleman and Cayden Smithers for making the All 8th Region Tournament Team…also congrats to Mason Howard and Lance Coleman for making this season’s All Region team. Both teams were recognized at the conclusion of tonight’s championship game
Braxton Foley threw his second straight no-hitter (the teams 3rd straight) tonight. He K’d 16 and only walked 2 on his way to the win.

All eyes now on the All A State Tourney this weekend. Your Bearcats are one of 8 teams battling for single A supremacy! Qtr Final tomorrow (Sat) vs Campbellsville at 3pm.
What a legacy this Senior class will leave on this baseball program. Including their 8th grade year, in which a couple of them were Varsity starters, they close out their WV careers with a record of 91-37! This includes losing their Freshman season to Covid. (1/2)…
Recipient of the senior scholarship award as part of the Mike Epplen Dirty Hat Classic……Eddie Drohan! (Also produced the game winning RBI’s in the top of the 7th on a laced double that found the left center gap!)
#belikemike
Final: 15-10 WV. SK rallies in the top of the 7th to score 3 but Shields hangs in there on the mound and gets the strikeout to end the game.
Big district seed win for the BatCats!!
Wow! What a game! The BatCats will play for the All A State Championship as we defeat Owensboro Catholic 5-4 in 10 innings!! Championship game will begin at 2:30
Summer spotlight: Class of 2023 WV student athlete, Evan Kerns currently sitting at .556 with 5 doubles, a triple, a home run, 9 RBI, 12 runs scored and 16 stolen bases for OBC. Not a bad start to the summer season 🔥🔥
Welcome Coach Sien and his family to the WV Baseball family! We are very excited for the future of WV Baseball! Coach Sien will be at WVHS for a player meet in the commons at 9:45am this Friday 9/15.
Congrats to our guy Dustin Hunley for being recognized and awarded with an All A scholarship.
