The Shawnee High School baseball team will be competing for its eighth consecutive regional title this spring.
“Our goal is to win eight in a row and after that we’ll go wherever it takes us,” Shawnee baseball coach Chad Pitts said. “We lost some significant players,” he noted.
He was referring to pitchers Gavyn Ellet and Adam Pennington, who graduated last spring. “We won’t have those power arms back,” Pitts said.
The Redskins were 22-7 last season and finished third at the IHSA Class 1A state tournament.
