The 2025 Rams baseball team turned in an impressive addition to the program’s resume. Although anticipating a return trip to the state final four and falling in the state quarterfinals, the team was playing the game in a way that any baseball enthusiast can appreciate. While the offensive and defensive efforts were impressive, the backbone of the team was its pitching staff. Rams pitchers finished the season with an anemic 1.9 team ERA while holding opponents to a .198 batting average against. The Rams finished the season with a 20-9 record, which landed them ranked 5th in the state by the Missouri High School Baseball Coaches Association.
There was no shortage of individual postseason awards for several Rams. Brian Gould ’25 earned Conference Player of the Year and 1st Team All-State honors. Cam Cooper ’25, James Snyder ’26, and LJ Triplett ’26 also earned First Team All-Conference honors. Garrett Liberman ’25 and Eliyah Powell ’28 were named 2nd Team All-Conference, while Tyler Enyard ’25, Luke Condrin ’26, Dunnen McGaughey ’26, Harrison Sikorski ’27, Sam Deibel ’28 and Ford Werner ’28 were named to the Honorable Mention list. Several of these players return next year, along with a host of others.
Sadly, we say bye for now to four of the finest young men this program will ever know. Gould is still considering his options and has several NCAA Division 1 baseball programs pursuing him heavily as he approaches a decision. Cooper will take his magnetic personality to Tuscaloosa, where he will attend the University of Alabama. Liberman is headed to the University of Tampa, where he will participate in the school’s two-time defending national championship baseball program. Enyard makes way for Chicago, where he will attend Northwestern University in the fall.
Although the 2025 Rams fell short of the team’s goal, they upheld the core values of the program. The program expects a strong return to play in 2026.
