If the past month is a true indicator, Houston Academy is playing its best baseball of the season going into the Class 3A championship series against Gordo beginning Wednesday.
“It’s seems that way,” Houston Academy coach Tony Kirkland said last week after the semifinal series. “I mean, we’ve been kind of hot with the bats. You can’t hit every game for sure, but we have played fairly good defense.
The pitching has been extremely strong as well with likes of Adam Boyd, Wyatt Shelley, J.T. Pitchford and Griffin McGee.

Game 1 is slated for 4 p.m. on Wednesday at Choccolocco Park in Oxford, while Game 2 and the if-necessary game are scheduled for Thursday at Rudy Abbott Field on the Jacksonville State campus.“We had a good team last year, but this team has gelled really good,” Kirkland said. “I think they get along great together, and that’s important.”
