After starting the season by winning the first three games of the season and climbing all the way to an early season #1 ranking in Division IV among “non-select” schools, the JHHS baseball team came crashing back to earth by dropping a pair of District 1-1A contests this past week. 

The Tigers opened the week by falling to Cedar Creek 15-0 on Wednesday, March 12th and then lost again to Haynesville 24-1 the next day, dropping their record to 3-2 overall and 0-2 in district 1-1A play. 

Cedar Creek 15 JHHS 0: The Tigers trailed by only a 2-0 margin after two innings of play but Cedar Creek ended the game in the bottom of the third by posting 13 runs on the strength of 8 hits and six base on balls. The Tigers saw three batters reach base in the contest with Waylon Evans and Trey Trosclair getting a hit apiece and Dakota Knox drawing a walk. 

Haynesville 24 JHHS 1: It was over early as Haynesville burst out to an 8-1 lead after one and then ended the contest with 12 more in the top of the fourth. Trey Trosclair scored the Tigers only run in the bottom of the first after leading off with a single and scoring on a double by Marquis Baker, who led the JHHS offense with 2 hits in the contest. Waylon Evans and Pierce Ulloa also hit singles for the Tigers.
