The Baldwin boys basketball program is entering a pivotal phase as it prepares for the 2026‑27 campaign following the departure of several standout players from last year's title‑winning squad.
Summer Schedule
Coach Brandon Childress has turned the offseason into a busy laboratory, organizing scrimmages against Reed City and Tri County and traveling to tournaments in Cadillac, Mason County Central and Lakeview to test the new lineup.
The roster reflects a youthful core, with only two seniors — Pierre Johnson and Kryce Cook — anchoring the group, while most of the minutes will be shouldered by underclassmen rising from the JV program.
Transition to Football
When July arrives, the same group will trade sneakers for cleats, shifting focus to football workouts that will shape the athletic development of many of the same players.
Coach Childress remains optimistic that the experience gained on the court will translate into a competitive edge on the gridiron, setting the stage for a promising multi‑sport future for Baldwin athletes.
