SENATOBIA – A mix of 10 current, former and incoming Northwest Rangers will be suiting up for head coach Duke McCrory and the Mississippi Dukes this summer in a travel baseball league. 

The Dukes will play 25-30 games in the months of June and July. 

On the team are rising sophomores Tyler Scholl, Chase Clark, James Lear, Tanner Cable, Ryan Seawright, Matt Ferguson and Cody Waddell as well as outgoing Ranger Jim Tom Copeland and newcomers Luke Latham and Kody Kimbrough.

On a pitching staff that set a new single season school record in holding opponents to a .252 batting average, Scholl had a team-best five saves with a 3.09 ERA in 15 appearances, Ferguson was 7-2 with a 3.65 ERA in 10 starts and Waddell was 1-3 with a 3.02 in 12 appearances. Cable, a 26th round selection by the Toronto Blue Jays, was 4-4 with a 4.11 ERA and two saves. 

In 31 starts at first base, Clark hit .233 with four doubles, a triple, two home runs and 18 RBIs, while Lear hit .318 with five doubles, 15 RBIs and 20 stolen bases.

Latham (INF) will join the team from Magnolia Heights, who went a perfect 36-0 last year and won the state championship, while Kimbrough (C) played for the Houston Hilltoppers.
