The baseball team is back into full swing! Opening Monday March 24, the boys played against St. Pius and won 10-0 NKC. The team practices everyday at Macken Park making the team stronger in defense, hit harder, and pitch faster. This being from the help from the experience of seniors on the team: Blake Brown, Steven Coronado, Alex Mullins, Brock Lorenzen, Aaron Garcia, Jairo Mendez, Alex Delich, and Dylan West. “This season we’re off to a good start with our first two wins at home, it gives us a good feeling about the rest of the season.” Said senior Steven Coronado. “I’m really excited to play the top 10 teams in the state, and even the 2nd best in Missouri [Fancis Howell from St. Louis].” said coach Steve Hall. The baseball team encourages all students to come to the NKC vs. Oak Park game April 29, where there will be a JV - Varsity header @ 4:30 and 6:30, both under the lights where the T-Bones play.

Spring sports are here and the Boy’s Golf team is getting ready to start the season. The boys take a bus to Liberty to go to Cardinal Hills, where they hold their practices. They work hard practicing
from 3:30 to about 5:30. The team has 11 players this year consisted mainly freshman this year with only five returning players; Dave and James Bailey, Blake Howerton, Caleb Sage and Cole Gage. Even though golf may seem like an easy sport, it’s actually quite hard to
actually become good at the game. Even with that, the boys all seem to be confident and believe that Northtown will do very well this season. “I think that overall as long as everyone stays devoted to improvement that we’ll do very well this season,” said Freshman, Nathan Huffman. “I’m confident, I haven’t really seen any of the teams yet but I think we have a good chance. Practice is fun, I think as long as I stay devoted I can get a lot better at the sport,” Huffman added. A few of those boys said that they are really having fun and are enjoying the team environment. “Practice has been going well, learning a lot of new stuff, even though returning players are learning the same stuff over again,” said sophomore, Caleb Sage. “I think the season for me is going to be better than last year.” Let’s cheer the boys on for a great season and hope they do well again this year. Go Hornets!
