IMPORTANT INFORMATION

We play games and practice during spring break (April 7th-11th).  Players are expected to attend.  DO NOT make vacation plans over spring break.  Discuss with Coach Schaefer as early as possible if there is a problem

 

 

Great turnout of athletes and parents today for field cleanup.  We cleaned the parking lot, tree area, grass and field, pressure washed the bleachers and area under the bleachers, repaired the fences, set up the shed and cages, and got all the screens out and ready for day 1

                    We are honored to have Coach Ray Moody join us to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Ray has been a fixture of Bothell High School Baseball since 1999 and a high school and summer baseball coach in the Northshore area for nearly 45 years.   Ray coached numerous all league and all state players at Bothell High including our own Coach Erik Bainter.  In 2023 Coach Moody was awarded the Bill Austin Servant Leadership Award for his long standing dedication to our program.   Catching for Coach Moody will be his long time friend and coaching teammate Ray Atkinson.  Coach Moody teamed up with Coach Atkinson on the Bothell High staff from 2005 through 2017 and both were instrumental in our 2011 state championship run.  Coach Moody also coached many summers with Coach Atkinson in the Bandits baseball program.   Coach Kent Schaefer would especially like to thank Ray for his personal friendship and loyalty and for being the best outfield coach in the Puget Sound

Baseball team takes 3rd in State

 

Bothell Baseball finished the 2024 season 3rd in state for the second highest placing in school history.  At the conclusion of the season the team honored four individuals who gave selflessly to our program with the annual Bill Austin Servant Leadership Awards.  The awards are chosen by our coaching staff to honor our late friend and colleague whose loyalty and service to others was unprecedented.  The winners each exemplified Bill's good nature and desire to make the team better without need for personal benefits or recognition.
