The Episcopal Baseball Program was started during the 1990-91
school year. The Program has come a long way since that 4 - 19 opening
campaign.
Since that inaugural season, the Knights have made 14 straight playoff
appearances. In 2004, the Knights' Baseball Team posted a 29-10 record and
won their 3rd straight district championship and claimed their first STATE
CHAMPIONSHIP!
The Knights compete in District 8-2A, which is always considered one
of the top districts in the state. With over 30 kids in grades 9-12 competing
for playing time, we offer a varsity and junior varsity team. Each year
the varsity schedule consists of 24 playing dates, which includes 4
tournaments.
The junior varsity has an 18 game schedule and a jamboree.
Over the last few years, the Knights have played teams from all across
the country...Oklahoma, New York, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and
Texas. We travel as well as host these schools in any given year.
Our baseball facility is considered
one of the finest in the state. Check out the facilities section of this
site.
We have been fortunate enough to have had a few players come through
our program who have gone on to play at the next level. Chris
Pike (1995) signed with Bellhaven College, Courtney
Hernandez (1996)
was a catcher for LSU, David
Stockinger (1996) played at ULL,
Stephen Kirkpatrick (1999) pitched for the University
of Mississippi for
two years and pitched for Millsaps College his last two years, Ladd
Legendre (2002) was the school's first Division 1 baseball
signee when he signed with Louisiana Tech, and Ronnie Causey (2004)
signed to play with Millsaps College.
Baseball season begins in January and ends the second week of May. Practice
is held daily after school for about two hours. The entire team is required
to participate in a weight program during the season and in the off season.
