Under the direction of third-year Head Coach Ricky Watkins, the 2010-11 Varsity Baseball team saw more success than any team in WCS history, earning a spot in the state semi-finals where they fell to district rival Second Baptist. Several players earned individual All-District and All-State honors, including pitcher Cody Glenn and outfielder Dillon Thomas, who were both selected in the 2011 MLB draft, a first for any WCS Baseball player.

This year, the Wildcats hope to go even further, returning three starters in outfielder Chase Kimble, catcher Andrew Dunlap, and pitcher Darius Boykins. “We had a special group last year - guys who were committed to elevating this program - and thankfully we were able to do that,” noted Coach Watkins. “My upperclassmen have adopted that same attitude, and I know they will expect the same dedication and effort in order for us to be successful this season.”

The team will focus, once again, on being a group of CATs- aiming for Consistency, Accountability and Teamwork every day. “On and off of the field I expect my guys to work hard every day, hold each other accountable, and expect each other to make the right decisions and to be good teammates.” Wildcat Baseball kicks off in February with a game against Concordia Lutheran.
