CBC SPORTS: CBC Baseball Coach, Four Players Named to NSB All-Arkansas Team

         Natural State Baseball (NSB) announced the 2024 All-Arkansas Team on June 6, with Central Baptist College well represented. Coach Dr. Aaron Brister was named Coach of the Year, while Austin Teal earned All-Arkansas third base and Cade McBride was All-Arkansas in left field. Jacori Hicks and Gram Middleton both earned honorable mentions.

      Brister led CBC to a 38-15 record this season and an appearance in the American Midwest Conference (AMC) tournament championship game. The 38 wins was the second most in a season in program history, and Brister moved past 300 wins at CBC during the season.

      Teal was a first team All-AMC selection at third base and batted .427 this season with six home runs, a team-high 53 RBIs and a team-high 33 stolen bases which was good for a tie for second in the state in steals.

      McBride earned Dual Position Player of the Year and Newcomer Player of the Year honors from the AMC and led the team in hits with 78 and batting average at .438 which also helped him earn AMC All-Tournament team honors.

      Hicks closed the season strong, batting .377 with 14 extra base hits and 35 RBIs after the calendar flipped to April.

      Middleton was an AMC first team selection at pitcher and led CBC in wins (seven), innings (65 and 2/3), strikeouts (74) and ERA (3.15), while also throwing three complete games and combining on a no-hitter on March 15 at William Woods.
