The Scott City Rams baseball squad took to the field in Ozark this week, fine‑tuning their game ahead of a state semifinal that could rewrite the program’s history. The practice session was part of a broader preparation that includes a pep rally at the high school gym before the team departs for the tournament.
A Legacy of Champions
Head Coach Skylar Cobb, a 2008 graduate of the same team, brings firsthand experience from the championship run that year. As a sophomore on that historic squad, Cobb now hopes his current roster can capture a title that has eluded the program for nearly two decades.
The Rams boast a well‑rounded lineup that spans from freshmen to seniors, each player contributing to a cohesive unit. The three seniors — Leyton Hanbeck, Jackson Gloth, and Evan Boswell — have already felt the bittersweet reality of graduation, yet they remain committed to extending their high school careers a little longer.
Hanbeck expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play one more time, while Gloth looked forward to spending cherished moments with teammates and friends during the trip. Boswell described the season as a blur of memories and excitement, emphasizing his eagerness to compete in the upcoming games.
Game Details and Broadcast
The Rams are scheduled to face Duchesne on Wednesday, June 3 at 4 p.m. Tickets for the contest are available through the Missouri State High School Activities Association, and the game will be streamed live for a fee on MSHSAA TV. The team will leave Scott City on Tuesday, June 2, after a community pep rally that promises to rally local support.
