Jul. 11—A two-time All-Area First team choice, the outfielder and pitcher for the Class 2A state-champion Spartans delivered a .451 average with 11 home runs and 67 RBI to go along with a .494 on-base percentage and .817 slugging percentage while stealing 21 bases. Ames, who will play at Morton College, got the ball to start the 2A state title game and threw four shutout innings, finishing the season with an 8-0 record and a 1.28 earned run average with 37 strikeouts in 38 1/3 innings on the mound.

A main reason why Central went 32-7, won a Class 3A regional championship and won a share of the Big 12 Conference, Cole ended up with a 7-3 record and one save with a 2.59 earned run average while striking out 79 in 46 innings pitched. Cole was also vital in the batter's box with a .423 average and 42 RBI to go along with a .484 on-base percentage and .775 slugging percentage. Nearly half of his 47 hits resulted in extra-bases with 12 doubles, three triples and seven home runs.

An all-around athlete who would start at catcher or shortstop while also coming on in relief to pitch for the Rockets, Henry hit .333 with three home runs and 24 RBI while having a .422 on-base percentage and .486 slugging percentage. The Danville Area Community College signee and two-time All-Area First Team pick also stole 13 bases and was 3-2 with a 1.31 earned run average in 26 2/3 innings pitched for a 26-win team that captured a Class 2A regional championship.

Henry knew how to come through with a big hit or a big pitch when the Rockets needed either. The Danville Area Community College signee contributed a .379 average with one home run and 21 RBI while stealing a team-high 16 bases to go along with a .479 on-base percentage and .495 slugging percentage. On the mound, the right-hander finished 5-3 with a 2.41 earned run average, striking out 60 in a team-high 61 innings as Unity went 26-9 and won a Class 2A regional title.

A two-time All-Area First Team selection, the Spartans' first baseman on a Class 2A state-title team brought a powerful approach in the batter's box not just this season, but for his entire high school career. Houchens, who will play at Morton College, hit .403 with 11 home runs and 57 RBI to go along with a .490 on-base percentage and .758 slugging percentage. He leaves as the SJ-O career leader in home runs with 21.

A feared hitter in the middle of the Bulldogs' balanced lineup, the third baseman and outfielder stood out for a 24-win team with a .419 average, six home runs and 32 RBI. Jones added an on-base percentage of .507 and a slugging percentage of .806 while adding six doubles and nine walks. He'll be a hitter opposing teams pay extra attention to during the next two seasons.

The outfielder and right-handed pitcher led Central with a .466 average, drilling seven home runs and 46 RBI along with 10 doubles and five triples while drawing a team-high 28 walks and stealing 19 bases. It added up to a .580 on-base percentage and .819 slugging percentage. Pipkins went 8-2 with a 1.47 earned run average, striking out 69 and only walking 15 while throwing a team-high 57 1/3 innings for a 32-win team that won a Class 3A regional title and a share of the Big 12 Conference title.

SJ-O doesn't win a Class 2A state title and 40 games without the efforts of Pruemer, our All-Area Player of the Year. The right-hander and Kaskaskia College signee compiled an 11-0 record with a 1.12 earned run average, striking out 93 and only walking 11 in 75 innings pitched. He threw three complete games in the Spartans' postseason run, with wins in a regional title game, sectional title game and state semifinal game while also hitting .278 with one home run and 19 RBI on the season.

A hard-throwing right-hander who is also adept with the bat, Roberts delivered a 4-1 record with a 0.42 earned run average and 119 strikeouts in 50 innings pitched for a 24-win team that won a Class 1A regional championship and sectional championship this spring. In the batter's box, the Kentucky recruit hit .494 with three home runs and 30 RBI to go along with a .577 on-base percentage, .753 slugging percentage and 32 stolen bases.

The Spartans' leadoff hitter set the tone for the rest of SJ-O's order and played superb defense in center field on a 40-win team that won a Class 2A state championship. Rosenthal, who will play at Heartland College, produced a .393 average with one home run and 26 RBI. He also scored a team-high 51 runs, drew a team-high 25 walks and stole a team-high 30 bases, with his .491 on-base percentage a major spark for the Spartans.

The main hitter in Monticello's lineup that opposing pitchers wanted to avoid, Williams proved he was a tough out. The left-handed swinging Parkland signee was a key reason why the Sages won 30 games thanks to his prolific offensive numbers that featured a .481 average, four home runs and 44 RBI to go along with a .593 on-base percentage and .760 slugging percentage.
