CRIMSON KNIGHT BASEBALL

Coaches: John Toffey, Duane Estes, Xander Jones

Established as one of Salisbury's first varsity teams, the tradition of baseball games on the Hilltop is one that dates back to founding days of the School, and over the years, the team has enjoyed more than its share of success. Today, in accordance with the traditions established by those early teams and especially by two legendary coaches, Roswell Hop Rudd and Bob Gardner, the enthusiasm for the game, the spirit of healthy competition, and the principles of sportsmanship remain as the primary focus of our athletic pursuits.

His coaching career at the secondary school level here in New England has been near legendary. Estes has also worked, coached and touched the lives of so many young people at Loomis-Chaffee, Northfield Mt. Hermon, and Woodbury Forest. Duane's primary responsibility is handling the pitching staff.

Xander Jones is entering his second year with the Crimson Knights.
