In addition, he sported a .607 on base percentage, with eight doubles, three triples, five homers with 35 RBI for his team that finished third in district and advanced to the Class 2A semifinals a year after winning the Class 2A state championship. He was also a first-team All-District 7-2A selection at first base."
