Nine Knoxville Baseball players received 1st, 2nd and honorable mention all-South Central Conference. The Panthers got Beau Leisure and Trenton Kingery as unanimous selections plus Luke Spaur and 8th grader Lincoln Norris. Leisure went 9-1 on the mound this season with 109 strikeouts and a 1.03 ERA.

Kingery led the team with eight home runs…

Spaur was six-and-oh on the mound this season…

Norris had 41 hits and 20 RBI, and was unbeaten on the mound with a 6-0 record. Coach Turner Devore tells KNIA/KRLS Sports Leisure, Kingery, and Spaur, all seniors also ended their careers at or near the top of many all-time Panther Baseball records.

Devore: “Beau with 332 strikeouts will be 2nd ony to Adam Miller. Luke never lost a game in his career on the mound at 14-0 so he’ll go down as the all-time best pitcher as far as wins and loses, and Trenton’s bat was great all season.”

On the second team was Dakota Ramsey as he had 30 hits and 25 RBI, Koby Higginbotham also earned 2nd team with 29 hits and was also unbeaten on the mound at 7-0 with a 2.14 ERA. Earning honorable mention was Trey Wight, Hayden Hatch, and Kade Bellon. Knoxville finished 34-4 on the season, and unbeaten in 21 games in the South Central Conference. Tomorrow the Panthers all-conference softball selections will be announced.
