The other sports are just sports…
Baseball is a love.
~Bryant Gumbel, 1981
Varsity Baseball at Giles High School has always been a strong family. “A
good team is made up of a combination of talent and chemistry,” says Bruce
Frazier, head coach for 26 years. “We practice daily and know who is capable of
certain things”. Knowing what they are capable of, having that talent and a
strong group of coaches is what brought the Spartans to their 9-6 record this
season. “The ultimate goal is to get to regional play despite how hard it is to
give eighteen players the playing time they deserve,” he added. Coach Frazier
encourages his team and every other athlete to play their sport with passion. If
you play with passion you will succeed.

Why wear uniforms….?
Back in the early to mid 1900’s the
managers were also players on the team.
They would wear their uniforms to run
back and forth between duties. Coaches
are also a major part of a team. Everyone
in the Varsity Baseball family wears a
uniform to symbolize togetherness.
