Nickname: Falcons
Class: 6A
League: Sunflower
Head Coach: Josh Perkins
Years as Head Coach at School: 6
2013 Overall Record: 18-6
2013 League Record: 8-3
2013 Post-Season Finish: 2nd at state tournament
Returning starters: 2
Pitchers with 15+ Innings Returning: 2

TOP PLAYERS (Listed Alphabetically):

Jackson Balcom, IF, Class of 2015
Isaiah Campbell, RHP/1B, Class of 2015 – 2nd Team All-Sunflower League, Arkansas commit
Noah Croft, C/1B, Class of 2015 – Wichita State commit
Blaine Fisher, LHP/OF, Class of 2014 – Pittsburg State commit
Austyn Gooch, RHP/IF, Class of 2015
Stephen Miller, OF, Class of 2015
Colt Rusnak, IF, Class of 2015
Brandon Troyer, C/1B, Class of 2014

KEY NEWS/STAT: 

  • C/1B Noah Croft, a Wichita State commit, transferred to Olathe South from St. Thomas Aquinas

OUTLOOK:  

The Falcons have to replace three 1st Team All-Sunflower League performers off of their state runner up team last season.  Seniors LHP/OF Blaine Fisher and C/1B Brandon Troyer will once again be looked to for production and leadership.  South also returns one of the top pitchers in the state in junior RHP/1B Isaiah Campbell and landed a difference-making transfer in junior C/1B Noah Croft.  Junior RHP Austyn Gooch is an interesting mid-to-upper 80's arm that could emerge as a factor.
