4A Programs
Falcon HS
Falcons(1251)
Coach: Brandon Stegman - 6th season
Returning starters: 6
2024 Record: 21-7
2024 Srs playing at the next level: Chase Kessler - Colby JC, Isaiah Sadorus - Colby JC
Players to watch: David Ada (SR) 3B/RHP - committed to United States Merchant Marines Academy, Jaxon Schleper (SR) INF/RHP - committed to Fort Hays State Univ., Parker Cordova (SR) LHP/OF - committed to Univ. of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS), Aaron Jaquez (JR) RHP/OF - committed to Univ. of North Carolina, Brayden Millikan (JR) 1B/LHP, Ethan Gentz (JR) 2B/OF,
2025 Outlook: The Falcons have their sites set on a big run in 2025 after breaking through to the Final Four a year ago. It all starts with preseason MVP Jaxon Shleper, David Ada, Parker Cordova, and Aaron Jaquez. All 4 played big roles in last seasons success and are hungry for another opportunity at a state run. The Falcons are traditionally strong on the mound, posting a 1.95 team ERA in 2024, and return the majority of their staff including P. Cordova, J. Schleper, A. Jaquez, and Ronan Sadorus. At the plate, A. Jaquez, J. Schleper, D. Ada, and Ethan Gentz lead a well-rounded batting lineup that can drive the ball and also play situational baseball when needed. Look for the Falcons to be one of 4As top teams this season.
Sand Creek HS
Scorpions(1302)
Coach: Ed Nelson - 12th season
Returning starters: 8
2024 Record: 11-10-1
2024 Srs playing at the next level: None
Players to watch: Logan Rockhold (SR) LHP/OF/1B committed to Modesto JC, Jackson Lucero (JR) RHP/3B, Nolan Stratton (JR) RHP/OF, Avyn Walter (JR) OF/C/RHP
2025 Outlook: Coach Nelson is hoping a strong junior class can be the catalyst to a return to the playoffs, that hasn't taken place in over 10 years. Logan Rockhold is a true 2 way, hitting .673 at the plate and striking out 68 on the mound in 2024. He teams with Nolan Stratton and Avyn Walter to pace the Scorpions offensive attack and Jason Lucero and Ryan Garcia-Cardona on the mound who are expected to play bigger roles. A year ago, Sand Creek finished over .500 powered by a squad that rostered 11 underclassmen, and with experience and maturity the Scorpions should be even better this year.

Sierra HS
Stallions (910)
Coach: Tony Ciro
Returning starters: 6
2024 Record: 1-16-1
2024 Srs playing at the next level: None
Players to watch: None Committed - Romeo Diaz (SO) 3B
2025 Outlook: The Stallions look to take a step forward and become a more competitive team in 2025 after a rough campaign a year ago. Romeo Diaz will lead the offense. He had a strong freshman campaign hitting over .400 and stealing 10 bags. The pitching staff graduated their top 2 arms and will ask a handful of inexperienced underclassmen to fill the void. R. Diaz, Daniel Dallas, and Jackson Turner return with minimal varsity experience on the mound but expect an increase in innings this season. If Sierra's young group from 2024 shows improvement the Stallions will be a better team in 2025.
