Seneca junior outfielder Monty Mailes earned all-state honorable mention honors in Class 4 from the Missouri High School Baseball Coaches Association.
Other selections of note from the area include Aurora senior Gage Singer and Monett senior Corey Spain, both of whom enjoyed epic seasons and earned all-state first team.
Mailes scored 31 runs and stole 35 bases for the Indians and his punch at the plate produced six doubles, three triples, two home runs, and 15 RBI.
Crowder recruit Singer won Gatorade’s Missouri player of the year and Big 8 East player of the year for a season where he did not allow an earned run over 35 innings pitched. Singer finished 6-0 with 82 strikeouts and four walks over 35 innings, while at the plate, he produced a .388 average with six home runs and 21 RBI.
Arkansas commit Spain proved not too far behind Singer with a 7-1 record and a 0.69 ERA — only six earned runs surrendered all season. Spain struck out 109 and walked 18 over 60 2/3 innings. He earned Big 8 West player of the year honors.
