SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — The defending state champions have hit their stride in district play and look to finish the regular season strong.

The No. 5 Wall Hawks are on a roll following another dominant district performance, thrashing Clyde 15-1 Tuesday night to secure the team’s 16th straight win. It took only two innings for the Hawks to reach double digits, as Kellan Oliver drove in six RBIs via two home runs including a grand slam. The Hawks totaled 14 hits in the game to improve to 10-0 in district play and 18-7 overall.

In the final two weeks of the regular season, the Hawks look to keep soaring. Wall hosts Abilene in a non-district matchup this week followed by a home-and-away series with No. 1 Jim Ned. As the homestretch approaches, the Hawks continue to embrace adversity and compete as a team.

“It’s good that [Wall] went through those growing pains early in the season and faced some of that adversity because now you see it paying off in a huge district ball game against Clyde,” Wall head coach Jeremy Gordon said. “That’s exactly why we scheduled our schedule the way that we do.”

In the players’ vision, this Wall team sets aside individual accolades for team success.

“It’s just for the boys,” senior Stephen Laney said. “Whatever we do is for the team, [Wall’s] not really a selfish team.”

Wall gears up to face Abilene on Friday, April 10. The following week, the Hawks host longtime rival Jim Ned.

“We got a big district one coming up,” senior Reid Ballard said. “Everybody’s excited about that. It’s the talk of the town, so show up and make a statement. [We will] show everybody who Wall really is.”
