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.
Brook Hill is excited to welcome Coach Jerry Courtney in his first year as the Head Baseball Coach. “I am so excited to be at Brook Hill and have the opportunity to lead a program with the abundance of talent we have, along with the magnificent renovations to Herrington baseball field which is now a state of the art all-turf complex,” Coach Courtney explains. “This spring promises to be a great one for the Guard baseball program. Returning All District players, Seth Moss, Grayson Murry, Carson Richards, and Cole Fitzgerald will be leading a group of talented and hungry Brook Hill baseball players. Guard baseball will be about playing team baseball first and foremost. I can’t wait for the first pitch of the season.”
