Marcus Baseball and numerous other Texas High School Baseball programs are teaming up to collect baseball equipment that will be sent to the Zimbabwe Baseball Association in Africa. The goal is to collect 2500 cu.ft. of baseball equipment to fill a shipping container. They have currently collected 1500 cu.ft of equipment but too much of it is clothing. They are in desperate need of gloves, bats, balls, helmets, and catcher's gear (for ages 12 and up - no tee ball or under 12 items please). Leather Gloves are the #1 item needed.

Please send any old baseball equipment to Coach Sykora by Wednesday of this week. Those wanting to donate any items may bring them to the Marcus Baseball Field or email Coach Sykora at sykorad@lisd.net so that he can arrange to collect the items from you. The items will be taken to Coach Bart Bratcher - Head Coach at Round Rock Westwood HS this Thursday as coaches from across the state meet at their annual Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association Clinic in Waco.

Thanks for all of your support to this cause. If you are needing any additional information about this Equipment Drive please visit www.jet-baseball.org.

Over the years, Marcus Baseball has promoted many players to the college ranks.  With one of the largest senior classes in recent memory, this year's team will likely produce many new additions to the list.

Colin Poche (LHP) is the first of the graduating class of 2012 to announce his commitment.  Colin signed his Letter of Intent to play for the University of Arkansas next Fall. 

Brandon Courville (RHP) has also signed to play for Midland College next season. 

Congratualtions to Colin and Brandon.

The passes are accepted at all LISD athletic events except varsity football, and they do not expire.
