Blake infielder-pitcher Tommy Cunningham and Sherwood pitcher Will Bouey, a pair of All-Gazette first-team performers last spring, were recently named to the Maryland Baseball Coaches Association's Pre-Season All-State team. They were two of 30 players chosen from among 135 nominees.

Cunningham, a senior, batted .431 last year — his second consecutive year batting over .400 — and led the team with 16 runs scored and 18 batted in. He also committed only two errors at third base.  As a pitcher, Cunningham compiled a 3.25 earned-run average and struck out 54. The two-time All-Gazette first teamer is approaching school-record marks for wins, innings and strikeouts. He has verbally committed to Indiana University.

Bouey, a junior, was one of the county's most dominant pitchers a year ago, compiling a 6-2 record with a 1.89 ERA and 60 strikeouts. As a late-season varsity call-up in his freshman year, he helped pitch the Warriors to the 2008 state championship.
