Johnson Central in 2020. The Covid year spoiled what could have been the best team in JCHS history. Had the two best players in the region in Seth Williams and Ryley Preece. That senior class was absolutely loaded with Williams, Preece, Chayce Meade behind the plate, Cody Rice, and Hunter McCloud. Then you throw in a top junior in Ryan Sartin Slone and you are looking at a team that could have won 2-3 games at state. I think that will always go down as one of the biggest disappointments in Coach Hall's career that probably his best team never got to play an inning of baseball that year.

Agreed,  that JC team really had the talent and potential to make a special run.  I hate so bad that year got canceled.  Many of those guys had experience playing in and winning state titles in football and wrestling.  I don't think any moment would've made them nervous or been to big for them.  Throw in Williams,  if I remember right,  he'd won a couple 15th region player of the year awards in different sports.  That year's team would've kinda been like the dream team,  in terms of JC baseball history. 

I believe we can also put Lawrence Co in the same category for that year.  I'm thinking Jackson Feltner was still playing for them that year.  Them and JC had some battles vs each other. 

Feltner and Preece went on to both have hall of fame careers at Morehead St.
