Incredible 2025 season for this team I’m beyond proud of everyone apart of this team and our state semi final run. I’m beyond blessed that I got to be apart of this team and its growth.

Sad to see the passing of Coach Gatewood.
Here’s the story I did for @SpectrumNews1TX during the Bulldogs run to the state semis last year, while he was fighting cancer.
Long time and recently retired McKinney North head baseball coach, JIM GATEWOOD, passed away this morning. Just last year he won his 446 game, while his team played in the State Semifinals
The McKinney North baseball field was named after Coach Gatewood upon his retirement.
Congrats to @NorthDawgBSB Head Coach Jim Gatewood for being named Star Local Media All Areas Coach of the Year and @BradyShelton4 for being named 2nd Team Catcher. These two will be hard to replace!!
I’m excited to announce I will be continuing my eduction and baseball career at Amarillo college. Thank you to God, family, friends, and coaches that have helped me along the way. #jucobandit@ACBaseball806

STORY: For the first time since 2009, McKinney North is headed to the regional finals. @MNHSAllAccess did so in dramatic fashion on Saturday, getting another stellar defensive game coupled with a walk-off, infield single in the 7th to sweep Lake Belton.

What a display of toughness this series! Nelson pitched Game 1, finishing the game after getting hit by a line drive early; Antosca and Bradley were tough at the plate in both games; Sayman battled to give us a quality Game 2; Busch, Pate, and Stockford closed it out for us!
FINAL: McKinney North 2, Lake Belton 1
Walk-off win for @MNHSAllAccess to sweep the regional semifinals!! Jacob Stockford legs out an infield single with two outs, scoring Talon Pate and sending McKinney North to the 5A D1 regional finals.
WALK IT OFF!
In a 0-0 game in the bottom of the 8th, Gage Bradley (@GageBradle59586) delivers with the walk-off double off the wall in right. McKinney North takes Game 1 in this best-of-3 opening series.
