🏆 Malvern has TWO COACHES OF THE YEAR! 🐆🧡🖤

Malvern School District just swept BOTH Coach of the Year honors for the 4A-5 South Region! One for Malvern Leopards Baseball and one for Malvern Leopard Softball and we could not be more proud!

⚾ Baseball Coach of the Year - Coach Trent Wilson
Coach Wilson is newer to the Malvern family but has wasted zero time making his mark. This recognition is a testament to the culture and winning environment he has built with our Leopard Baseball program in a short amount of time. Welcome home, Coach!

🥎 Softball Coach of the Year - Coach Darryl Baker
Few people in this community have poured more into Malvern athletics than Coach Baker. Decades of dedication, development, and championship level coaching, this recognition is well deserved and long celebrated by anyone who has watched him work. A true Leopard legend!

To sweep both Coach of the Year awards in the same season for the same district? That does not happen by accident. That is a reflection of the standard we hold ourselves to here in Malvern. That is a teamwork effort!

Congratulations, Coach Wilson and Coach Baker! The Leopard Family is so proud of you both! 🧡🖤

🥎⚾ What a season it has been, Leopard Family. 🧡🖤

This weekend, both our Malvern Leopard Softball team and our Malvern Leopards Baseball team saw their seasons come to a close at the State Tournament. Softball fell in the Semifinals with a final score of 7-3, and Baseball was also eliminated from bracket play. It was not the ending we were hoping for, but it does not diminish for one second what these teams accomplished this year.

Our Baseball team were Conference Champions. Our Softball team were Regional Champions. Both programs made deep postseason runs and represented the Malvern School District with everything they had. We could not be more proud of every single player, coach, and supporter who was part of this journey. 🏆🐆

And before we close the book on this season, we have to take a moment for two of our own.
Rayna Morgan, a junior who is not done yet, put together an absolutely phenomenal postseason, batting .522 with 48 hits and 37 RBIs through regional play. Watch out for her next year, Leopard Family!

And then there is Kendall Watson. What do you even say? In 110 games, Kendall finished her high school career with a .608 batting average, 52 home runs, and 195 RBIs. These are numbers that put her among the best players in Arkansas history. She was a fierce competitor, a tremendous teammate, and one of the finest young women to ever wear a Malvern uniform. We are going to miss watching her play more than words can say.

Cotija's parking lot is safe from softballs once again!

To the entire Softball and Baseball teams, the Leopard Family is so incredibly proud of you. 🧡Thank you both for an unforgettable season. Both teams represented MSD Athletics with

Once a Leopard, always a Leopard. 🐆🧡🖤
