Revamping the program last year after multiple years without a team, Head Coach Jim Passer leads the Vikings Baseball team into its second year, but with a challenge of low numbers.

“We currently have 10 players, including two eighth graders, but we need more. It’s not enough,” Passer said. “Athletic Director Vicki Vandermay and Principal Kyle Freeman have been very supportive and proactive in helping me keep the team going.”

Viking baseball is open to players from the public school and the Orcas Christian School and Passer hopes that there are a few more players out there that want to play ball. He says it’s a lot to ask for an eighth grader to play up, but he will throw his support to any that want to.

“I was really proud to get the team on the field last year,” he said. “I was hoping for better numbers this year but I’m just going to keep going forward. I’m looking forward to another competitive season with the players I end up with.”

The team members are: Anthony Kaskurs, Stephen Bodenhamer, Ivan Bullock, Pasha Bullock, Mackey Cardinell, Miles Harlow Trent Johns, Gwydion Mareth, Lee Pollard, Hayden Simpson and Grayson White.
