Anchored with a bona-fide ace in Clemson signee Eston Simpson, Jefferson is hoping this could be a year the Dragons post another banner.

PRESEASON INFO

2024 Record: 17-15; 4A State Sweet 16; #9 State Rank
Head Coach: Kyle Hardy (3rd Season)
Returning Starters: 7
Key Departures: Jase Peoples, Chris Law, Zach Grow, Austin Stegner
Key Players: Eston Simpson (Clemson Signee), Rett Hemphill (2nd team all state as a junior, multi sport guy, AAA defensive player of the year in football), Steven Tavares (South Ga College signee), Ryan Reed, Josh Causey
Strengths: “Premier ace in Simpson, athletic group, lots of experience as many of them have played a good bit of varsity baseball, will be a gritty group that plays hard,” says Hardy.

“We are in one of the toughest regions in AAA,” states Hardy. “Cherokee Bluff played in the state finals last year, and Oconee was in the Final 4. As always, we will play a challenging non-region schedule to prep us for region play. We plan to compete well in the region and make a strong playoff run.”
