To say I love these guys is such an understatement…and not because they won today. They committed to a process and loved each other every step of the way. We stood on the shoulders of so many that came before and I will love them til the day I die…#45040
Your 2024 D1 STATE CHAMPIONS, @MasonHSBaseball 🏆🏆🏆

I wanted to take a moment to share an important announcement concerning our coaching staff. Words are hollow compared to how I feel about this man. I’ll be forever grateful to Coach Spon! #45040

Just a moment ago in Billings, Montana 2013 graduate and Brewer prospect Connor McVey stepped to the plate and faced off against fellow 2013 graduate and Reds prospect Andrew McDonald who was standing 60’6” away...what an unreal moment. So proud! #45040!

Today was to be opening day for The Comets and all high school teams across the state. It’s easy to dwell on the disappointment of not playing today, but let’s try to focus on how terrific it will be to get back on the field! Stay healthy and stay positive! #45040

The #Reds today acquired minor league IF Nick Northcut from the Red Sox to complete the August 1 trade for OF Tommy Pham.
A Cincinnati native and Mason HS graduate, Northcut was an 11th-rd pick by BOS in 2018. He has 30 HR & 75 RBI in 397 AB between High-A & Double-A this year.

There just really aren’t words…@JakeHanley34 has left an unparalleled mark on our program. All time leader in hits, extra base hits, RBI, BB, PA, runs, games, which says nothing about what he’s done on the mound! There will never be another one like him. Thank you Jake. #45040

Here's an idea..don't throw two picks inside your own 20 and fumble a snap on the goal line....blaming it on officiating is loser talk
