EASLEY — This year’s Easley High School baseball team made the city proud.

The team was recognized Monday night by Easley City Council members for its record-breaking achievements.

“Congratulations — great year,” Mayor Larry Bagwell told the team.

Councilman Chris Mann introduced the team during the meeting.

“Six years ago, we recognized the Easley Little League All-Stars,” he said. “Now, six years later, we’ve got several of those guys here.”

He asked those players who were on the Little League team to raise their hands and be recognized.

“This year’s team — I don’t know how many of you got to go watch — they were pretty awesome,” Mann said.

This year’s EHS team set a school record for most wins in a season with a 26-4 record.

The team finished third in the Upper State championships and fifth in the State championship, Mann said.

The team won the Region I-AAAA championship, and five players were named to the all-region squad.

“If I’m not mistaken, that was the most of any school,” Mann said.

The all-region players were Austin Morgan, Jacob Nelson, Logan Chapman, Andrew Stanifer and Chase Stevens.

Chapman was also named to the all-state team, while head coach Josh Warner was named Region I-AAAA coach of the year.

“Great job, coaches and players,” Mann told the team.

Council, staff and the crowd then gave the team a standing ovation.
