By Bees O’Brien

WILLIAMSPORT, PA- Sugar Valley Rural Charter School senior Corbin Homan once again proved why he was one of the best in the Mid Penn Conference. The Phoenix senior hit .595, drove in 14 runs and smacked 4 home runs this season, good enough to earn him his second straight first team selection to the Mid Penn Conference all-stars as an outfielder.

Homan would join a pair of Muncy outfielders in Gio Persun and Chase Crawley on the first team. Chris McGeehan of Millville and Montgomery’s Coltin Hans would complete the first team outfield.
Homan is set to play Division I baseball at Lehigh next season.

In the infield it was Montgomery’s Noah Gearhart, Noah Confer of Muncy, Branson Eyer and Ross Eyer, both of Muncy.

Eyer would be voted MPC MVP as well as Millville’s Landon Evans.

First team catchers were MPC home run leader Braydon Kamerer and Montgomery’s Thayden Miller. Austin Kuhn of Montgomery would grab the first team Utility spot. Pitchers were Millville’s Brandon Yost and Emmitt Yost from District 4 1A Champions Benton.

A pair of Bucktail Bucks would lead the second team MPC All-Stars. Despite winning just two games, the Bucks did have some outstanding individual performances.

Bucktail senior Tristan Probst earned second team outfield honors in his first and only season on the diamond for the Bucks. Probst led Bucktail with a .469 average on the season. He also led the Bucks with 25 stolen bases.

Coehan Homan of Sugar Valley joined his brother Corbin on the Mid Penn squad as a second team outfielder. St. John Neumann’s Naz Smith, Benton senior Max Stewart and Montgomery’s Tanner Springman rounded out the second team outfielders.

Kayden Friese’s .462 average was plenty good enough to earn the Bucktail senior his second straight MPC second team selection as an infielder. Millville’s Landon Evans, Ryan Thompson of St. John Neumann and Benton’s Landon Shires made up the rest of the second team infield.

St. John Neumann catcher Jerval Weeks-Shuler wrapped up an incredible high school baseball career behind the plate with a second team selection at catcher. Benton’s Connor Kapp grabed the other catcher’s spot.

Northwest’s Dominic Cavuto would be named second team utility player. Cavuto, a freshman would be the Rangers only conference selection.

Second team pitchers would be Branson Eyer and Ross Eyer of Muncy.

Muncy coach Chris Persing would be named coach of the year after leading the Indians to the Mid Penn title.
