EDISON BASEBALL

Honored to be named the 2026 OASSA Zone 8 High School Assistant Principal of the Year. While this award may have my name on it, I’m only a small part of what makes Edison High School special. The good things that happen at Edison happen because of our teachers, staff, students, and families. They are the ones who put in the work every single day to make Edison a great place for students. I’m grateful to work alongside people who care so much about students and who always put students first. Thank you to everyone who nominated and supported me along the way. It truly means a lot. Go Cats.

Memorial Day.A morning to remember that baseball is a game, and games are gifts.The men and women we honor today made the kind of sacrifice that puts every tournament, every showcase, every recruiting conversation into perspective.Hug your son/daughter today. Tell him why this day matters. The recruiting will be there tomorrow.

Thank you to all who protect and serve us and may we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Happy Memorial Day my friends and God Bless!

All Gave some, some gave all. #MemorialDay2026 Today we honor those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our FREEDOM! #GodBlessAmerica

Hop on I-5, you’ve got a ballgame to get to. The moment Colt got the call 👏

300 WINS!!!! Congratulations to Garaway' Baseball Coach Justin Elmore on getting career win #300.

I was raised in a baseball culture where you earned EVERYTHING. Playing time. Trust. Respect. Opportunities. Leadership. Blue collar meant earning respect through work, not demanding it through words. Nothing was handed to you. Nothing was explained 14 different ways to protect your feelings. If coaches got after you, you got tougher. You worked harder. You proved them wrong. Now too many athletes want accountability-free environments where every hard conversation is called “toxic” and every uncomfortable moment becomes someone else’s fault. Soft cultures create fragile players. The real world doesn’t care about your excuses, your feelings, or who you blame. It rewards toughness. Consistency. Discipline. Accountability. Competitiveness. Always has. Always will.

Show up. Effort never betrays you.

Being a great teammate means you are just as happy about your teammate's success as you are your own success. Great teams have great teammates.

Congratulations to Kyle Long on making the Edison HS class of 2026 top ten! #studentathlete
