By: Garrison Gavin, Posted March 2, 2017 As the 2016-17 baseball season draws to a start the Varsity players are hard at work preparing to achieve a goal every team dreams of accomplishing, the state title. With one goal in mind, the team looks to start their journey of making it to the state championship and hopefully winning.
The Sun Devils will host an invitational tournament to kick off the season. The following week Eldorado will play the Green Valley Gators for the first league game of the season. Jordan Eldred and key senior, Tony Sanchez hope to lead the Sun Devil towards a winning season and hopefully the state championship. After losing to the Foothill Falcons in a scrimmage game last Thursday, the baseball team sees a promising season ahead. Even though they suffered a loss the team worked together and had a good game. Jordan pitched 5 innings and only gave up two earned runs and one unearned run. Varsity player Tony Sanchez was good at bat with a double in the fourth inning to start a rally for the devils. “My prediction after seeing the teamwork and leadership from the shows, we have a chance to go to playoffs and be a key team this year.” Said Varsity catcher Tony Sanchez. The last time the Sun Devils made the playoffs was in 2012. Varsity Coach Jesse Medellin hopes to change that for the baseball team this year. However, Eldorado’s last win at the state championship was in 1990, almost 30 years ago. This season, the goal is to add another state title for the school. “Our chances of going to playoffs this year are very high as our team has been working hard in practice which was shown during the foothill scrimmage.” Stated Jordan Eldred.
