Academic Awards

Good Afternoon Lumberjack Baseball Fans,

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer, we are busy at work adding to our roster and creating a fall game schedule. I would like to take a moment to celebrate a few wonderful accomplishments by our players last season. We were fortunate enough to have 7 academic all conference and 2 academic all Americans.

Academic All-Conference
-Adam Denny
-Greg Thompson
-Nick Riglin
-Cody Brooks
-Kirpal Singh
-Cody Milliken
-Jesse Turner

Academic All-Americans
-Greg Thompson
-Cody Brooks

We often evaluate the success of a team based on wins and losses; however, these are extraordinary accomplishments by these individuals. Success in the classroom is the most important part of being a student athlete. We always will strive to win but as I told our team at our first meeting, none of this matters if it does not lead to a degree. Along with these accomplishments we can also proudly say that all 6 of our sophomores left here with a degree. This is something that makes me very proud to be around these great young men and have the opportunity to coach them. Please check in as we will have our fall schedule together very soon.

Thank you and GO JACKS!
Coach Martin
