The Missouri High School Baseball Coaches Association announced their all-state teams for 2010 today. And as with all coaches selections, you get some bad with the good. First the good.
- The quiet type. A few teams that quietly had good seasons got rewarded including Liberal who saw three players selected headed up by sophomore Colton Selvey, a first team pitcher. Others deserving teams with all-state picks included Billings, Wheatland, and Monett.
- Young guns. Of the 48 area players honored 26 are underclassmen, including four sophomores and 2 freshmen. Stockton will be returning all five of their all-state players for next year.
- Not the usual suspects. It’s good to see some new teams have players honored. Exeter, Spokane, Mt. Vernon, and Parkview don’t exactly leap to mind when thinking of baseball powers, but each have a player selected this season.
Now the bad.

I promise that you will get no April Fools Day pranks here. Norwood’s opponents feel like a cruel prank has been played on them lately. After Riley Jenkins tossed a perfect game yesterday, Travis Coatney follows that act with a no-hitter tonight in a 17-0 win over Willow Springs. Coatney struck out 7 and walked 2 as he faced only 1 batter over the minimum. He also helped his cause at the plate driving in 4 runs. And Strafford Ethan Highley threw 3 perfect innings as the Indians dropped Mansfield 16-0. Rhett Parton swung the big stick going 3 for 4 with a double, a home run, 6 RBI, and 3 runs scored.

A great Saturday of football. Some great performances, a couple of fantastic finishes, and three area teams took a step closer to state titles. The Big 8 had a big day. And a future high school legend took his last trip to the end zone.
