LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL
HUNTSVILLE BASEBALL
HHS Baseball Family,
I am looking forward to my sixth season coaching the Huntsville High School baseball program! I am excited for the 2024 season and to watch our players pursue the program’s 19th Area Championship and our team goal of playing for a State Championship On behalf of the HHS baseball program, I would like to wish all the former players successful futures on and off the baseball field. The 2024 season will be full of competitive opportunities each week, featuring teams from Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi. The coaching staff and players are excited for the challenges on the field and look forward to seeing how we progress as a program throughout the season. We will compete in 7A Area 7 with quality opponents in Albertville, Grissom, and Sparkman
I would like to thank our school administration and faculty, the program sponsors, our program parents, and all the students for the support of our HHS baseball program To my assistant coaches, thank you for taking time out of your schedules to help make our program better each day. Huntsville is special place where everyone in the community is willing to help any way they can and support our sports programs!
If you have a free night, please bring the family out to an HHS Baseball game and cheer on our teams! Again, thank you for your support of our Huntsville Panther Program! Go Panthers!
