INNES ACCOLADES CONTINUE after being named 1st team all TVL, then 1st team all-state, Brayden Innes continues to raise the bar for future Blue Valley baseball players. Brayden recently was honored to play in the All-State baseball game held at the minor league complex of the Wichita Windsurges stadium. The game is unique in that players from 6A thru 1A all play together and against each other on 2 teams. To play in this game you must be a senior, and make all-state 1st team. The picture shows Brayden in his all-state jersey hitting a ground ball against a 5A pitcher. Brayden is the baseball programs first all-state 1st team selection, with hopes of many more to come. Rams baseball is proud of Braydens accomplishments.
