Ex-Mounds View stud C Will Rogers hit his first collegiate HR today. True freshman bats middle of order for Arizona St, playing LF, a new position. Brewers took him 17th rd last summer. Scouts will track him next few years. #MNTwins saw him this weekend.
Not a Coach out there that was more committed, prepared and cared more about his players and the entire Mounds View Baseball Community than he did. Proud to be able to be a part of the legacy he is leaving behind #class#commitment#baseball
Coach Downey is stepping down as the Mounds View High School Baseball Coach.
Thank You to everyone for the opportunity to represent MVHS as the Baseball Coach; it has been an incredible honor! Mark Downey

A letter to @mvvarsbaseball
After 15 years of coaching baseball at MVHS I have decided it is time to step away. Thank you players and parents for allowing me to be part of your program. To the coaches, you are inspiring.
Coach Downey, words are not enough! Thank you my friend.⚾
Coach Gorman was known by me as Steve where we enjoyed many years of playing the game we love together! We now close the Coaching end of the game we have so much passion for⚾️. Different styles but so effective under Coach Downey ⚾️. Thanks Steve ⚾️
Coach Gorman is retiring from MV Baseball. He was Little Lakes Little League (now SAYB) President years ago despite having no sons to play baseball, and has coached baseball for many years in our community. Thanks for your coaching leadership with the MV Baseball Program! #class
During our last celebration and closure together last night of the Season as players and Coach i told them that i also wanted that memory as my Final one as a Coach at MVHS. A couple of State Championships, placing, and participating in many others. Thank you my heart is full.
Congrats to Will Rogers @willrogers07 on being named to Collegiate Baseball's Pre-Season All-American Team! https://t.co/BURJqlC1I5. @MN_Lumberjacks@SAYBaseball
Hey Seniors! Remember that summer of baseball back in 2019? Fun times. Great memories. Last time ever to compete together as childhood friends and teammates coming up in 2 months...
