Men's Baseball
The Cavaliers start the regular season with a round of competition in a southern state. The Cavaliers have played teams in Arkansas, Missouri, Georgia, and Texas. This annual trip takes place during spring break in March, and is paid for by team fund-raising. The conference season starts in April and finishes in mid-May. Fall ball practices start in September, but players practice at an indoor throughout the year. The Cavaliers have won three State Championships.
