The Cocoa Beach Minutemen varsity baseball team is in a tight race for the district title after posting a 12-8 record in district play this spring. With a 2-0 district standings position, the team has secured first place in their division ahead of their final games. The Minutemen, who have 25-26 overall record this season, are currently ranked 162nd in the state according to MaxPreps.com. Their performance has drawn attention from local fans and coaches alike.
Head coach Jason Thompson has led the team through a challenging season, balancing a young roster with experienced players. The Minutemen have faced tough competition from other district teams, but their strong pitching and defensive plays have kept them in contention. Upcoming games against Satellite High and Ridge High could determine their district fate.
The team's success has been fueled by standout performances from senior pitcher Ethan Ramirez, who has recorded 45 strikeouts this season, and slugger Marcus Lopez, who leads the team with 12 home runs. Both players are key figures in the Minutemen's push for a district championship.
With the regular season nearing its end, the Minutemen will focus on maintaining their district lead and securing a playoff berth. Their next game is scheduled for May 15 against Satellite High at Cocoa Beach High School. Fans are encouraged to attend and support the team as they aim for a strong finish to the season.
