The Red Raven baseball team ended the regular season with a series win over Labette County, but the weekend was special for a different reason.

 

Conner Taylor Memorial weekend has become an annual tradition for CCC baseball, honoring and remembering the life of Conner Taylor, who was a part of the 2016 team before tragically taking his own life.

 

Each year, a member of the Raven baseball team is awarded the Conner Taylor Memorial Award. The award highlights an individual who shows respect, compassion, and love for baseball and for people.

 

Sophomore pitcher Ryan Leiker was named the 2024 Conner Taylor Memorial Award recepient. Freshman pitcher Garrison Martin says Leiker is a great ambassador for CCC baseball.

 

The Ravens are postseason bound, and take on the Dodge City Conquistadors in a best-of-three series, which begins tomorrow.
