Just over a week into the high school spring sports season, we’ve identified seven area ballplayers who have yet to make an out this spring.
Five baseball players — Chambersburg’s Brady Bruette, South Hagerstown’s Luke Leisinger and Grant Louchery, and Smithsburg’s Jaxon Teson and Gavin Blumenaur — are all sporting perfect batting averages, and the same can be said for two softball players in Greencastle-Antrim’s Paiton Gordon and Laken Schroyer.
Those batters highlight the first edition of our spring stat leaderboards, which also include top performances from local track athletes like North Hagerstown’s Jonathan Morris, who leads area boys in both the 200 (24.63) and 110 hurdles (16.19). On the girls side, Smithsburg’s Samantha Nieman (shot put, discus) and Lohgan Viar (800, 1,600) each top our leaderboard in multiple events.
Expect this leaderboard to change dramatically over the next week, as several other area schools will see their first action of the new season.
Below is a sport-by-sport, category-by-category look at area stat leaders through March 22:
