Before we officially turn the page to a new chapter under Coach Robert Newton, we want to take a moment to recognize and thank the man who helped build Panther Baseball into what it is today—Coach Chad Moore.

Over the last four seasons, Coach Moore has established a standard of excellence that will leave a lasting impact on our program. His accomplishments speak for themselves:

🏆 3 Conference Championships
🏆 3 District Championships
🏆 3 Region Championships
🏆 2 Sub-State Victories
🏆 2 State Tournament Appearances
🏆 1 State Championship

⚾ 29-0 Perfect Season (2024)
⚾ 92-13 Overall Record (.876 Winning Percentage)

While the trophies, banners, and wins are impressive, Coach Moore’s greatest accomplishment is the countless relationships he built with his players. He invested in young athletes, helped shape them into better players and people, and created memories that will last a lifetime.

The success of Panther Baseball today is a direct reflection of the foundation Coach Moore built through his leadership, dedication, and passion for the game.

From all of us at E.O. Coffman Middle School—thank you, Coach Moore, for everything you’ve done for this program, our players, and our community. Your impact will be felt for years to come. Enjoy your time being a Dad, and watching your boys play together at the next level! (Coach Moore will continue to help and be a mentor at our program).

💙🐾⚾ Once a Panther, always a Panther. ⚾🐾💙

Not the finish we hoped for, but what a season it was for these boys.

The 2026 season comes to an end with a 23-4 record, Conference Championship, District Championship, Region Championship, and a Sectional Runner-Up finish. A year full of hard work, toughness, and memories these guys will never forget.

A special shoutout to our 8th graders: Tate Moore, Bo Hammons, Robby Brewer, Caleb Lowry, Caison Landtroop, Kaison Driver, Truitt Waller, Gabe Hendrick, Josiah Emerson, Ezra Cothran, and Ty Holt.

This group leaves behind an incredible legacy, finishing their middle school careers with a combined 61-11 record. Proud of every one of these guys and excited to see what’s next for them. ❤️⚾
