Meet the 2023 Coaches All-Western New York small school baseball first team(with references from Buffalo public's City honors and Royalton-Hartland): https://buffalonews.com/sports/high-...e0eabdc.html#1
https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.town...size=990%2C660
"Xavier Mann, City Honors, shortstop, 12: When Mann made the small schools first team last year, he said his goal for his senior year was to show that Buffalo Public Schools could compete with everyone else. And so he did. Mann led City Honors to a Section VI Class B1 title, becoming the first Buffalo Public School to win a sectional since 1986. Mann's average of .689 was among the top 15 in the nation, according to MaxPreps. Had 37 hits, 44 RBIs, 35 runs and five home runs. Named Cornell Cup Co-Player of the Year. Will continue his baseball career at Lenoir-Rhyne University.
https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.town...size=990%2C660
"Pitcher of the Year, Thomas Russo III, Roy-Hart, 12: Posted a 0.35 earned run average in 60.2 innings with 118 strikeouts as Rams won a sectional title for the first time since 2019. Had a 6-1 record and eight games with double-digit strikeouts. Hit .507 with 37 hits, 26 runs, 21 singles, 11 doubles, three triples, three home runs and 22 RBIs. Two-time Niagara Orleans League Player of the Year is Section VI’s career leader in strikeouts (347). Will continue his baseball career at Canisius."
