So proud of this group of seniors. Have worked extremely hard on and off the field and will leave this program better than when they arrived. Can’t thank this group enough for all they have done. Love you guys with all my ❤️!

Thankful everyone in the state is taking 2 week break from school and sports so we can assess the situation. Once kids are able to attend school it makes sense they should be allowed to participate in extra curricular activities. Fear should never rule us!

Congratulations to my man Kyle Boylston on signing today with FAU to play 🏈 and ⚾️. Coached Kyle since he was 9 years old and always knew big things were in his future. He is not done yet!
Love..something I didn’t learn to really feel until it was over. God has blessed me to represent such a great school and program alongside such a hardworking group of young men that I got to call family. Thank you St. John’s Country Day for all the memories.

Extremely honored to be the first recipient of the Michael L Pickett Coach of the Year award tonight. Mike is a man I look up to and try to emulate everyday. The best coach I’ve ever been around and it’s not even close. Thank you Mike for all you do.

have seen the girls soccer team win a state title every school year from kindergarten until now. Congratulations Coach Pickett and every girl who has played in the program in making this program one of the best in the country.
Absolute stud. The most valuable skill set in catchers is not blocking or throwing which Hunter is elite at. It’s receiving… and dude is as good as I’ve seen. Oh he switch hits and has GPA of 4.5. Very bright future!
Congratulations Ty! Ty Martineau is a coaches dream to coach. One of the best around on and off the field. Made me a believer and one of his biggest fans.
Ty committed in August and I've finally negotiated the rights to share.
Few kids have been better coached - 48 of them have been part of his journey.

Absolutely matter. Great competition, team first mentality, and lifelong memories. Sure recruiting happens mainly during summer and fall but college coaches still get to watch HS games. They also follow uncommitted players during spring and reach out to HS coaches all the time.
Been around this guy for 3 years. Blessed with as good an arm as I’ve seen. Just elite and special is what I tell scouts. What people don’t see is how hard this kid works. A lot of elite 13U players that peaked at 13. This guy on a mission and he is not close to done yet!
Rylan Mcmahan (27 FL) Big strong frame on the mound with great competitiveness , has great command of his FB sitting 89 topping 91 with a sweeping breaking ball misses barrels

Great Dude in portal. SS that is plus defender. Took back to back teams to State Finals in Florida and was as good as it gets up the middle. Great student and as good a teammate you could have. Dude can flat out play and a true winner! Program changer.

Guys are working hard and making huge gains in this arm camp. Boys throwing 🔥. PRs set today:
Connor Moore 100 mph (4 oz) and 93 w/baseball
Jordan Taylor 95 (4 oz) and 93 w/baseball
Jack Hodges 90 (4oz) and 86 w/baseball
Finn Howell 90 (4oz) and 86 w/baseball
One of the best guys I’ve been around. Extremely blessed as a coach to get 1 guy like this to come through your program once in your career. Connor is that type of kid. Congratulations Connor on your success. It has been earned with countless hours of hard work!
Congratulations to Connor Moore (

Absolute DUDE. Faced off against this guy in LaGrange. Competes his tail off and doesn’t give away ABs. Saw ump take AB from him and handled adversity with class. Congratulations on historic season.
Another Vodoo bites the dust! Shame how much these kids spend on bats only to see them break in a month (if you’re lucky). Parents do your research before you shell out 💵
