Playoff Showdown in Anita
The 1A baseball playoffs open tonight with a doubleheader in the small town of Anita, Iowa, setting the stage for a highly anticipated rematch between AHSTW and Audubon.
AHSTW, led by Coach Trey Brix, enters the game with a 13‑11 record and aims to secure its third victory over Audubon this season, a feat that would underscore the team’s recent dominance.
Brix has three viable pitcher candidates — Camdyn Dresen, Taylen Hansen and Kip Lamp — each of whom could shape the early innings and dictate the tempo of the contest.
Across the diamond, Audubon’s Coach Eric Borkowski is weighing the Miller brothers, Dawson and Dalton, as potential starters, hoping their experience can offset the team’s 5‑15 season record.
Senior offensive standout Cash Freeman leads AHSTW’s lineup with a .329 batting average and 20 RBI, while Audubon’s top hitter, Dawson Miller, boasts a .419 average and 11 RBI, making both players key focal points for their respective teams.
Defensively, AHSTW prides itself on one of the best fielding percentages in the Western Iowa Conference at .936, a statistic that could prove decisive in tight moments.
