Clay Center baseball (4A, 11-4) is off to an impressive start this season, despite entering the year with just 14 players and only four returners from last year's roster. The Tigers are led by standout Cole Pladson, last season’s SIK All-Classes Player of the Year (Oklahoma State commit) along with a strong group of four seniors. Head Coach Andy Bent, who was named the SIK 4A Coach of the Year in 2021 after guiding Clay Center to a 4A state runner-up finish, continues to lead the program. Keaton
