"Throw strikes. Hit the ball. Good things will happen," said Murphy Middle School Mavericks baseball coach Jeff Thomas throughout the season.

On the surface, it seems to be very simple advice. Yet it was amazingly effective as the team finished with an undefeated season. On May 17, the Murphy Mavs won the Plano Middle School Championship by a score of 7-2 against the Eastside (Otto, Armstrong and Murphy 2) team. The Murphy Mavericks team included players Nick Alvey; Dylan Easterling; Charles Edgette; Cameron Farmer; Nicholas Giorgio; Mitchell Gregory; Conner Holsted; Taylor McGehee; Jonathan Mohr; Mitchell Mulkey; Wyatt Proctor; Jared Schuster; Luke Sternhagen; Andrew Spencer; and Trent Thomas. Leon Farmer and Todd Spencer assisted Coach Thomas.
