PLAYER OF THE YEAR Deacon Nelon Senior, University Every program needs a staple, and Deacon Nelson was just that for four years. Before he took to the diamond for the team, the Preppers had been to the regional round twice. In his four years, Nelson has led the Preppers to three regional appearances and three finals, with a state runner-up finish a season ago.

A ground ball by Jeffrey Mercedes tied it, and Aaron Walton scored on a wild pitch for a 9-8 victory.
