The 2012 ASH Baseball Schedule has been released and may be printed by clicking on the link below or going to the handouts section on your menu.

Action starts on February 7 with a round robin scrimmage scheduled with Pineville and Buckeye at Pineville Field. ASH will travel to Lafayette to face the 5A Lions on February 13 and the preseason will end with a JV Jamboree at ASH against Menard on February 18.

ASH Baseball will participate in 4 tournaments this year. DeRidder Dragon Round Robin beginning February 23; the Trey Altick La. Prep Classic in Monroe area - Mar. 1-3; Red River Prep Classic at ASH - Mar 8-10; and the ASH Invitational - Mar 15-17.

ASH Baseball is officially begun. A total of 14 freshmen showed up to give a shot to trying out for the ASH Baseball team. ASH Baseball continues to be a popular sport for which many desire to participate. The ASH Baseball program again has high expectations to begin the season returning many talented young players consisting mainly of juniors and sophomores. With many of these players growing up together and all in the "travel ball" age, are very familiar with each other and many played together on championship travel teams.

The competition was tough for the new players and competing in 4A baseball is a challenge.

Coach Tomlin is excited about the future of ASH Baseball and is optimistic about the 2012 season.

ASH Baseball program continues to make capital improvements to enhance the experience and raise the level of playing. In what is already one of the most talked about baseball complexes for prep baseball in Louisiana, ASH continues to make improvements that beautify the field and raise the bar.

For 2012 there is been a total refurbishing and expansion of both home and visitor dugouts. The home dugout which will be a bricked structure has been enlarged and set back from the baseline. It has a net for protection and a pro-style bench for players.

These improvements will give more room for the players and coaches as well as space for equipment storage. The set back off the field gives the home crowd a better view of the right field area without obstruction.

Thanks to Ray Morrow owner of Stalnaker Construction that has been the lead developer of the project.

CHANGE OF SEASON

In the first year for the new LHSAA season rules changes, the ASH Baseball program will not begin official practice until January 23, 2012. This shaves off about 3 weeks of much needed practice to prepare the players for the season.

Coach Tomlin is encouraged with the amount of young talent he has returning and believes that the 2012 Trojans can experience success.

On a beautiful unusually warm January day, the ASH Baseball program had a great camp to begin the year.

Youth baseball players from ages 5 to 12 were on hand to hear instructions from ASH Baseball Head Coach Daniel Tomlin, LSU star Warren Morris, other assistants and the 2012 ASH baseball team members. All participants received a free ASH Baseball t-shirt and a snack. The field looked in beautiful shape and all seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Thanks to everyone who participated!

Coach Daniel Tomlin is set to present the ASH Youth Baseball Clinic on January 7, 2012 at the Trojan Field. Youth baseball players are encouraged to get a jump start on the 2012 season by participating in the ASH Camp and learn from the coaching staff at ASH Baseball.

There will be two age groups. Ages 5-8 will be from 9AM to 11AM. Ages 9-12 will be from 12noon to 2PM. Cost is $30 per player. ASh Baseball coaching staff and players will be on hand during each session to teach basic baseball fundamentals and drills. Each camper will receive a T-shirt and a sack lunch. This is a great way for your kids to improve their baseball skills and have fun.
