2025 Season Summary
By Coach Hoover
The Latin Hawks Middle School Baseball Team finished with a 5-7 overall record for the 2025 Spring Season. The team continued to improve as the season progressed. Conley Shoup, Conor Hampton and Nicholas Krasnigor led our team at the plate, while Michael Zupp, Ray Godfrey, Jack McLendon, Austin Craig and Conor Hampton all had solid contributions on the mound. Our six 8th graders and eleven 7th graders all contributed this season and showed the attitude, effort and enthusiasm to get better each day!

2024 Season Summary
By Coach Hoover
Your Hawks MS Baseball team finished 2-11 on the season. It was not the record we all hoped for but this squad continued to improve throughout the season and was competitive in some meaningful games! In comparison to last year, the majority of our 8th graders were seeing their first significant innings in the field at the Middle School level and some of our 7th graders developed into solid contributors in different roles. On the mound, eleven Hawks pitched led by Kolton Arnold and Holland Loeffler. In the field, Richard Linch unanimously was our most consistent fielder with a 1.000 fielding percent and Will Marsh earned his role as a strong option behind the plate, as well as in the field. Seventh graders Nicholas Krasnigor, Michael Zupp, Ray Godfrey and Grayson Hicks worked their way onto the field defensively as solid defenders and team players. Offensively, we were led by Holland Loeffler, Durham Teddy, Michael Zupp (7th), and Barrett Hicks with contributions by 7th graders Avery Howell and Jack McLendon in supportive roles at the plate. I am excited to see the development of the current 8th graders as they transition into the JV program next year. I am also looking forward to experiencing the maturation of our 7th graders over the offseason and seeing their development into next year.

2023 Season Summary
Middle School baseball finished a great season with a 10-2 record. The Hawks tied for the regular season championship and finished second in the conference tournament. Highlights of the season included two wins over Charlotte Christian and a come from behind win over Providence Day in the tournament semi-finals to avenge their only regular season loss. The team was led by a very strong 8th grade class and the future of Latin baseball looks strong.

2022 Season Summary
The middle school baseball team finished the season with an overall record of 6-7. The team was competitive throughout the season and split games with several teams that finished above them in the final conference standings. The Hawks beat both Covenant Day and Providence Day in extra inning thrillers and Country Day 11-1 in the first round of the CISAA tournament. Contributions were made by many different players and this group will be a foundation of the baseball program for years to come.

2021 Season Summary
The Middle School Baseball Program and its players grew tremendously during the 2021 season. The team was led by its eighth graders: pitcher/shortstop Jack Bancroft, outfielder J.T. Cobb-Curtis, pitcher/infielder Jackson Coble, first baseman Chuck Edwards, and outfielder Charlie Shamblin. The leadership that these student-athletes provided in all situations was tremendous. Seventh graders also made significant contributions during the season. Catchers Griffin Donnelly and Jaden Hawa were immense behind the plate and also contributed with the bat. Outfielders Walker Edwards, Griffin Godwin, Liam McConaughy, Hudson Morrill, and Carson Gaylord developed during the season and made excellent plays in the outfield. Offensively, the team was paced by third baseman Maxwell Williams, pitcher/outfielder Mylo White, outfielder Logan Misocky, as well as Jack Bancroft and Jackson Coble. On the mound, the team got great pitching performances from Hill Porter, Til Wagner, and Mylo White. Congrats to all!

2020 Season Summary
The spring athletic season came to an abrupt end on Thursday, March 12, 2020, when the North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association announced that all athletics events were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The impact of that decision on our spring student-athletes was top of mind for all involved and the athletic department, coaches, booster club, and parents worked together to keep our Hawks engaged and connected. Our Latin athletes ended their seasons in an unprecedented and unexpected way, but with a renewed appreciation for their sport, their teammates, and the many benefits of participating in Charlotte Latin Athletics.
