Kickapoo Baseball

Home

Trey Carlton will be continuing to play baseball on into college after signing with Missouri Southern State University on Friday, May 8.

Manning the outfield the past two years, Carlton made in impression on MSSU Head Coach, Bryce Darnell.  His ability to cover ground quickly has been an asset in the field and on the basepaths.  Kickapoo Head Coach, Jason Howser, believed Trey would fit in well at MSSU and be able to contribute right away.   Learn more about the MSSU Baseball Program here:http://www.mssu.edu/athletics/baseball/home.htm.

Pictured with Trey are his parents, Bub and Donna.  In the back are Chiefs Head Coach, Jason Howser, and Assistant Coaches Jason Sweet and Jeremy McCoy.

Ozark Conference Selections

The Chiefs had five players named to all-conference teams. Michael Bingham was selected to the First Team in the outfield.  He led the Chiefs offense in HR's and RBI's.  Michael was also named the Most Outstanding Player by the Lead-Off Club.

Another First Team selection was Jacob Hall in the roll of utility player. Jacob (at right) played shortstop and second base and was DH throughout the season.  He led the team in average, hits, and runs scored.

All-Conference 2nd Team selections were Elliott Wityk and Luke Gibbs.  Elliott (at left) led the team in stolen bases and played in the outfield.  Playing second base, Luke (far right) was the lead-off hitter much of the season and got on base consistently.

Kickapoo is also proud to have Gabe Rendelman listed as an Honorable Mention for his pitching efforts this spring.

The tournament will be at Kickapoo High School's Neil Pittman Field on July 23-25.

The Lead off Club meets every Monday during the high school baseball season for lunch at Rivals Casual Grill located at 3662 South Glenstone. Doors open at 11:30.  The first meeting is March 16.

 In attendance are the five Springfield R-12 high school coaches and the three Springfield-area college coaches. Each coach will take five to ten minutes to speak about his baseball team, the week they have had and their upcoming schedule.

 It is always very entertaining, very informative and full of laughs. Art Haines is the emcee.  There are other media present as well and questions are welcomed.  Cost for admission, including lunch, is only $9.00.
