The Brook Hill Baseball program has been one of the most successful baseball programs in East Texas since beginning in 2002. Having won State Championships in 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2004, the Guard has held great success over the past 15 years. Alongside those 3 State Championships, The Guard have also finished as State Runner-up twice (2010 & 2018), as well as State Semi-Finalists in 2016. In that time, Brook Hill has held impressive wins over schools from every division of TAPPS and UIL. The program has always strived to seek out quality competition to match our teams up against some of the best talent available.
A WORD FROM THE NEW HEAD COACH: AUSTIN REED
I am entering my 12th year as part of the Brook Hill Family, and as part of the baseball program (10 years as an Assistant Coach, 2 years as The Head Coach). As a teacher, I serve as the Bible Department Chair, and have taught in both Middle School and High School Bible classes over my time at BH. As a Coach, I have had the pleasure of serving under some great baseball minds in my tenure at Brook Hill. We have been blessed to have had great success in our program. I have coached teams that finished as State Champions (2011, 2012, & 2013), State Runners-up (2010 & 2018), and State Semi-finalists (2016). There are so many exceptional memories that I have made as a Coach in this program. I am super excited about what lies ahead, this year. This is a unique place, that provides a unique opportunity. We have great facilities, great families, great administration, great players, and great coaches. When we combine all of this with great effort and great enthusiasm, I expect special things to happen. It brings me a great sense of responsibility to help mentor and mold the men of our baseball program, knowing the rich traditions we have held, and the wonderful support we continue to receive. Our Mission Statement for the Brook Hill Baseball Program is this: “The Brook Hill baseball program strives to produce quality men, who use God’s gifts and principles to live out His calling on their lives.” We have the grand opportunity to help our men grow into the lives God calls them to, and we get to use the game of baseball to do it. This truly is an exciting adventure.
