I’m excited to announce my commitment to serve my country, continue my education, and play Division 1 baseball at the United States Air Force Academy. Thank you to everyone who has helped me throughout this process, especially my family and coaches. Go Falcons! 🇺🇸

These two young men are so much more than baseball players. They have played together for yrs and then had to compete against one another in HS. They never changed the bond or friendship they have because of it. This is what makes it all worth while!!!
Love ya both. Go be great!

Tonight’s uniforms are a tribute to the giants whose shoulders we stand on. The “CFX” across the chest stands for the Congregation of St. Francis Xavier — the Xaverian Brothers — whose legacy has shaped generations of St. X students, athletes, and teams since 1864.
