Two Area Players named To All State Team

Eastland's Drew Carroll and Le-Win's Adam Blair were named to the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association's Class 1A/2A All State Baseball Team. Drew, who was Eastland's second baseman, batted .435 this year and led the Cougars with 7 home runs, 38 RBIs and 50 hits. His leadoff double in the 8th inning of the Le-Win sectional championship game against Alden-Hebron helped Eastland win their first sectional since 2003 and sent them downstate to their first state tourney berth in school history. He also qualified for a spot downstate with the Eastland/Milledgeville golf team. Drew will attend Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa and joins the golf program in the fall.

Le-Win's Adam Blair also garnered the All State honor. He finished his season by setting school records in total bases (104), runs scored (55), and RBIs (57). He also hit 13 home runs and had 49 hits. Adam hit two homers in the Galena regional championship to eliminate River Ridge/Scales Mound 4-3. Blair also won the Jamie Koehn, given to the NUIC's most valuable player. The third baseman was a 1st team NUIC all conference infielder. Morrison's senior pitcher Jason Smith was also named to the team.
